Ionna Says We Need Chargers Where ‘Reliability Isn’t Even A Question'
It’s [Apex, NC] the first of six Ionna sites that will be open by early February—and 100 by the end of 2025, providing more than 1,000 charging cables. The network intends to have 30,000 cables by the end of 2030, putting it among the largest North American charging networks.
. . .
That inevitably raises the question: Will it be reliable? After all, every EV drivers has examples of major charging networks where rollout speed seems to have taken priority over reliable charging.
Cutler and other Ionna execs cited the testing done just to qualify the Apex site as ready for its public opening: 4,400 charging sessions, totaling 68 megawatt-hours, performed on more than 80 different models of EV (from the eight partners, but also from other makers as well).
Put more bluntly, “They tested the crap out of absolutely everything,” said Flasch of Alpitronics.
Reliability “can’t even be an issue, or any kind of consideration,” said Stamatti. “It has to be taken for granted, every time, for the brand to succeed.”
