Ionna's Rechargery network has passed 200 open public DC fast-charging locations in the United States. A query of the federal Alternative Fuels Data Center station locator on October 20, 2026 returned 201 open IONNA stations with 1,658 DC fast ports across 30 states. Florida has the most with 29, followed by Texas with 19, North Carolina with 16 and California with 15.
The network grew quickly to get there. EVChargingStations.com traced Ionna from about 500 stalls in late 2025 to 100 sites in March 2026 and about 1,000 stalls in late March. The network then reached 200 locations, doubling in seven months. Four sites opened between October 13 and October 20, AFDC records show.
The latest openings
AFDC records these open dates for Ionna's most recent sites. All but one list both J1772COMBO (CCS1) and TESLA (SAE J3400, or NACS) connectors. The Escondido Circle K site is the exception: it is listed with TESLA connectors only.
| Site | State | DC fast ports | Opened |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent, Rechargery Relay, 104th Ave SE | WA | 6 | Oct 16 |
| Escondido @ Circle K (TESLA connectors only) | CA | 4 | Oct 16 |
| Goodyear @ Circle K | AZ | 4 | Oct 15 |
| University Place | WA | 6 | Oct 15 |
| Dallas, W 12th St | TX | 8 | Oct 11 |
| Kennewick @ Circle K | WA | 4 | Oct 11 |
| Oceanside | CA | 12 | Oct 10 |
| Wellington | FL | 10 | Oct 10 |
| Jacksonville, Cahoon Rd | FL | 12 | Oct 8 |
Those nine sites add 66 ports, and all of them opened within eight days of each other (October 8 to October 16). Beyond the four leading states, Illinois has 14 open stations, while Georgia, Minnesota, Washington and South Carolina have 10 each. Pennsylvania and Ohio have seven each, Missouri has six, and Arizona, Indiana and Nevada have five each. Each remaining state has between one and four.
Size, hardware and price
EVChargingStations.com puts Ionna at more than 8.2 stalls per location and ranks it the eighth-largest US DC fast-charging network by number of ports. Nearly 36% of Ionna stalls (596) have NACS (SAE J3400) connectors. All stalls offer a peak output of 400 kW, shared between two stalls.
On cost, the outlet reported on October 15, 2026 that Ionna's average price was $0.38/kWh, citing DCFC Tracker, against an industry average of $0.56/kWh; Paren puts the industry average at $0.54/kWh. Those numbers are network-wide averages, not the posted rate at any one site.
In a September 30 release, Ionna reported more than 180 live charging sites, which it said was more than double the network's size at the start of 2026. The same release said Ionna ranked #1 among DC fast chargers in J.D. Power's 2026 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Public Charging Study, in its first year of eligibility. EVChargingStations.com gave the score as 807 out of 1,000. "The industry has treated charging scale and charging quality as a tradeoff," CEO Seth Cutler said in the release. "Our growth and first-place customer satisfaction ranking show that drivers can and should expect both."
Circle K and what is still under construction
Ionna and Circle K announced a partnership on April 14, 2026. By the September 30 release, more than 40 Circle K locations were online. In an interview with Tom Moloughney of State of Charge, summarized by EVChargingStations.com on October 17, Cutler put the number at more than 50. Ionna plans to take over about 85 Circle K sites and build more than 265 new stations at select Circle K locations. Both of those are plans, not openings.
In the same interview, Cutler said 80 new sites are under construction and that about 25% of Ionna sites have a canopy. He described the company's priority as laying the network's foundation and refining the user experience rather than installing as many chargers as possible. He named attractive pricing, Plug & Charge and visibility in built-in navigation as crucial to competing with Tesla.
Ionna's first Beacon site, a 22-stall location in Westminster, California, is not open yet; it is expected to launch in the coming weeks, with several more Beacon stations planned nationwide. The company's stated goal is 30,000 stalls by the end of 2030.
The NACS-only experiment
Cutler told State of Charge that Ionna is testing NACS-only charging at small four-stall sites with no CCS1 connectors, that utilization there has been good, and that some CCS1 drivers have objected to being excluded or pushed to adapters. In AFDC, three open Ionna stations list TESLA connectors only, all four-port Circle K sites in California: Lancaster (opened September 16), Perris (September 19) and Escondido (October 16). The other 198 open stations list both connector types.
What It Means for Drivers
- New stops in three states. Drivers in the Seattle–Tacoma area can now use Ionna at Kent and University Place. In the Phoenix area, the Goodyear Circle K site is open, and North San Diego County has Escondido.
- CCS1-only vehicles cannot plug in at Lancaster, Perris or Escondido. A car with a CCS1 inlet and no adapter should route to a site that lists J1772COMBO. The AFDC station page and Ionna's app show which connectors each site has.
- Either inlet works almost everywhere else. At the stations listing both connector types, drivers of cars with CCS1 or NACS inlets can charge without an adapter.
- Two cars, one cabinet. Because the 400 kW peak is split between paired stalls, a car plugged in beside another vehicle may charge below that peak.
- Westminster is not an option yet. The Beacon site has no announced open date.
- Averages are not posted prices. The rate shown in Ionna's app for the specific site is the one that applies at that stall.
