IONNA and Sheetz team up to expand EV charging in the US
Sheetz and IONNA have announced a new partnership to expand the EV rollout across the Midwest and Eastern US. IONNA, backed by eight major automakers, will work with Sheetz, a popular convenience store chain, to open over 50 EV “Rechargeries” by the end of 2026.
The first three locations will open in late December 2024
They will be in Springfield and Willoughby, Ohio, and Scranton, Pennsylvania. These sites will feature high-power charging bays under weather-protective red canopies.
IONNA’s CEO, Seth Cutler, commented:
“At IONNA, every decision is made with the driver’s experience in mind. That level of customer centricity is built into the DNA of our business and it’s a quality we recognize in Sheetz, making them the right choice for our first partner.”
Sheetz plans to expand its store network to 1,000 locations by 2028. IONNA plans to grow alongside it. Loyalty programs and special incentives for customers will also roll out in 2025.
Trevor Walter, EVP of petroleum supply management at Sheetz, added:
“Our mission at Sheetz is to put the Sheetz as we know it today, out of business. We do this through constantly evolving our business and introducing forward-thinking solutions. As the electric vehicle market expands, enhancing our charging infrastructure exemplifies this commitment.
Our collaboration with IONNA has rapidly enabled us to bring more advanced charging options to our customers, demonstrating the power of innovation in delivering seamless, future-focused services.”
