Ionity enters next stage of expansion with 700 million € investment from Blackrock.

it will expand locations and chargers. Hopefully this push comes sooner than later. From almost 400 locations to over a thousand and from about 1500 chargers to 7000. It is really a four year plan as this one is almost over.

That is good news! And great to see that they realise that a charging location needs more than one or two chargers per location. The Ionity network has been very reliable for our 8000 km trip. only one location had really big troubles, but all other worked very well.

And there is quite a lot of competitors now as well. BP, Shell, Total, Fastned, Allego. All with HPC! Spain Portugal and Italy certainly need a lot more chargers.

I really hope they step up their network in the UK. The north only has around 4 Ionity charge stations.

Why doesn‘t anyone mention the stupidly expensive prices?

Because it's 33 cts per kwh. Other providers are generally more expensive.

I'm afraid it's 33 cts/kwh (in Europe) only for Porsche customers, who in Europe also benefit from a 3 year free membership. The general public - incl. the rest of VW brands - pays 0,78 cts or so (or lower rates by purchasing monthly plans, eg. Audi).

great to see they are expanding

That's 4 more high speed chargers than high speed rail lines for the foreseeable then......

There is not a single one in the nothern half of Sweden.

Agree there is room for improvement, but there are a number of chargers> 100 kW in northern Sweden. And looking at the possibility of Tesla opening their network, it looks even better. Red symbols are TesLa chargers in the picture. Look at Norway and it’s networks! Once more EV’s are sold I hope completion will, give Sweden similar density of chargers.
