IONITY at a glance
IONITY was founded in 2017 as a joint venture of five carmakers — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Hyundai and the Volkswagen Group (including Audi and Porsche) — with BlackRock's Climate Infrastructure Platform as a financial backer. It now runs 700+ stations across 24 European countries, sited on major motorways roughly every 120 km, with an average of six CCS plugs per station and 100% renewable electricity.

IONITY pricing — kWh, subscriptions, roaming
IONITY's rate depends on country and tier. In Germany — its largest market — paying ad-hoc is €0.66/kWh through the app, or €0.69 contactless with no sign-up. Two subscriptions cut that: Motion at €5.99/month drops it to €0.49/kWh (it pays off after one charge), and Power at €11.99/month reaches €0.39/kWh (it pays off after two). Other countries differ — the Netherlands and Belgium run a few cents higher (Power about €0.43), France lower (about €0.33). Annual plans (Motion 365 at €49.99, Power 365 at €99.99) lock the same per-kWh rates for a year.
| Tier | Per kWh (Germany) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| IONITY Direct | €0.69 | Contactless, no app or sign-up |
| IONITY App | €0.66 | Free app, no subscription |
| Motion (€5.99/mo) | €0.49 | Pays off after 1 charge/month |

Connectors and session speed
IONITY is CCS-only by design. Every charging point uses the European CCS Combo 2 plug — there is no CHAdeMO and no Type 2 AC. Standard sites deliver up to 350 kW at 800 volts; the newest hardware reaches 400 kW, and IONITY is the first network installing Alpitronic HYC1000 megawatt chargers (from 2025) aimed at 600 kW for the next generation of cars. An 800-volt car like a Porsche Taycan, Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6 can go from 10 to 80% in under 20 minutes in good conditions.
| Connector | Available at | Max power |
|---|---|---|
| CCS Combo 2 | All sites | 350 kW (most) |
| CCS Combo 2 | Newest sites | 400 kW |
| CCS (HYC1000) | Flagship sites (2025+) | up to 600 kW |

Where IONITY sits on the corridor
IONITY concentrates on the trunk motorway network rather than cities. Germany is its densest market by far — 190 sites along the A-autobahns — followed by France with 180 on the autoroute network. The Benelux footprint is smaller but just as motorway-focused: 23 sites in Belgium and 21 in the Netherlands, each within a kilometre or two of a major junction. Filter by IONITY in the Jornee app to see only their stations on your active route, with the live max-kW reading per stall.
