THE IONNA EV CHARGING NETWORK IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!

EV Channels Review

The Ionna EV charging network has officially opened its first four locations, with the Scranton, Pennsylvania Sheetz serving as the backdrop for this event. The reviewer, driving a Ford F-150 Lightning, highlights the convenience of the Sheetz location, offering 24/7 access to restrooms and food, a key promise from Ionna. The charging experience itself is straightforward, utilizing credit card payment due to the app not yet being available. Charging speeds are noted as up to 200 kW per stall, with dynamic power sharing. A significant point of discussion was the F-150 Lightning's default 90% charging limit on DC fast chargers, which can be overridden with a 'one-time max' setting. While the introductory rate of $0.47/kWh is appreciated, the app's delay and the lack of pull-through stalls at this particular location are noted as areas for improvement. Overall, the opening is viewed positively, emphasizing Ionna's commitment to reliable, amenity-rich charging, though further development, particularly regarding the app and pull-through options, is anticipated.
