Remember the ding when you rolled over the hose at the service station?
Somebody was already walking over. Cap off, tank filling, they'd check the oil, squeegee the windshield clean whether it needed it or not. You never even unbuckled your seatbelt. They'd give the roof two taps when you were good to go.
We miss that. That easy, taken-care-of feeling, without ever having to ask.
Those days are gone, but here's the good news about the electric era: the cards are back in your favor. Your stop isn't something to dread anymore. At IONNA, charging is now your excuse to pause and recharge yourself.
Meet the Driver's Dashboard
That taken-care-of feeling? Well, that's what we're all about!
Introducing the new Driver's Dashboard! Now live at every IONNA Rechargery, we're putting your whole charging session at the tips of your fingers. Once you start your charge, scan the QR code on the dispenser and all the good stuff opens right up on your phone. Simply enter your email, and we'll send your session details straight to your inbox when you're done — no app, no account, no password needed.
The Dashboard keeps you posted in real time on everything that matters:
⚡ Energy delivered 📈 Charging speed 💸 Session running cost 🔋 How close you are to that finish line
And with your session tucked in your pocket, you're free to wander. Take that call you've been dodging, grab a slice of pie or poke around that little antique shop you always drive past.
The Dashboard knows the neighborhood and is happy to point you toward what's worth the walk, and when you're ready to plan ahead, it'll help you find the next Rechargery down the road.
Not charging? Don't fret.
We have good news! You don't have to be in an active session to use The Dashboard.
Just head to dashboard.ionna.com from anywhere. If you're not in a session, you won't see those live charging details, because there's no session to show yet. But it's still a handy way to find your closest Rechargery, see what's around it, and learn how to get connected to the IONNA network.
For folks already plugged in, you see everything. For everyone else, it's an open invitation to come see us.
Your session details beats you home
When you're ready to roll, your ride will be right where you left it. Charged up and ready for the open road. Just be sure to enter your email in The Dashboard, and once you unplug, your full session details will be waiting in your inbox.
Come see us out there
Charging or just curious, start at dashboard.ionna.com to find your nearest IONNA Rechargery and see how it all works.
We'll keep the lights on for you.
Public EV Charging Prices Shouldn’t Be a Guessing Game
Charades, Battleship, and 20 Questions are examples of fun guessing games. One thing that should never be on this list? Public EV charging prices.
When given the pro/con list of adopting an electric vehicle, “lower transportation costs” falls in the pro column. But more often than not, a driver will pull up to a public charger and find themselves doing mental gymnastics. What’s the price per kilowatt-hour? Is that the price for everyone or just members? Is there a monthly fee? How many apps must a person download just to juice up their EV?
All that uncertainty can make it difficult to understand what a charging stop will actually cost, and whether driving an EV is really delivering the value you expected.
At IONNA, we think the conversation about price should be straightforward, and we’re building the public charging network to make that possible. So let’s simplify the math.
What are you actually paying for?
Gas is priced by the gallon. Public EV charging is usually priced by the kilowatt-hour, or kWh, which measures the energy delivered to your battery.
In theory, crunching the numbers should be easy. The price per kWh is simply multiplied by the amount of energy added during your session. If a charging stop adds 50 kWh at $0.39 per kWh, the energy cost is $19.50 before taxes. The total cost of your own session will depend on how much energy your vehicle needs, just as the cost of a stop at the gas station depends on how many gallons you put in the tank.
But the math is only simple when the starting price is clear. Drivers shouldn’t need a degree in calculus to determine whether the rate they see is the rate they’ll get.
IONNA keeps public charging pricing simple
Today, across the IONNA network, the price per kilowatt is never more than $0.39, plus applicable taxes. That’s true no matter which Rechargery you visit to charge your EV.
At IONNA, there is no “starting at” qualifier and no paid monthly membership required to access our $0.39 pricing. You don’t have to calculate whether you charge often enough to make another subscription worthwhile.
Paying for your charge is easy, too. Depending on your vehicle and preferences, you can pay with a credit card, use a compatible charging app, or plug in with Plug & Charge for eligible vehicles.
Whether you visit an IONNA Rechargery every day, stop during an occasional road trip, or pull in for the first time, the price listed is the price received, no extra password or membership needed.
Why predictable public EV charging prices matter
Public charging plays a different role for every driver. For daily commuters without reliable at-home charging, it may be part of the weekly routine. For road-trippers, it keeps vacations, family visits, and spontaneous detours moving. For drivers considering their first EV, public charging prices may be a significant factor in deciding whether the switch makes financial sense.
In any of these cases, predictability matters. Knowing that IONNA offers a consistent per-kilowatt price ceiling makes it easier to estimate your EV charging costs. Our no-strings-attached pricing also means the value of your charging stop doesn’t depend on how frequently you use the network. A driver who charges twice a day and one who charges twice a year both deserve fair, transparent pricing.
Affordable shouldn’t mean bare-bones
Price is important, but it isn’t the only thing that matters when it comes to an EV charging stop. A bargain loses some of its charm if the charger isn’t reliable, the location is difficult to reach, or the stop lacks basic, on-the-road necessities.
IONNA Rechargeries are designed to pair affordable pricing with a reliable, welcoming experience. Our Rechargeries feature both NACS and CCS connectors, and Genuine IONNA Charge Dispensers can deliver up to 400 kW. Rechargeries include practical touches such as trash cans and car-care tools, and select locations offer access to food and beverages, restrooms, Wi-Fi, lounges, retail, and covered charging bays.
Our idea of value doesn’t come down to a dollar sign. We built our Rechargeries to provide a price you can understand, charging you can rely on, and roadside hospitality for you and your car.
Let’s make charging prices less complicated
We know drivers are paying attention to price, as they should. Transportation is a major part of the household budget, and no one enjoys ending a charging session with an unexpected and exorbitant bill.
IONNA’s approach is straightforward. We offer a reliable, affordable choice for daily commutes, long-distance adventures, and everything in between. We simplify the equation for drivers comparing EV charging costs against gas prices, and it eases a common pain point for those who already own an EV.
We call it membership pricing, without the membership.
Project Rechargery Refresh
Building a Rechargery isn’t a one-and-done kind of thing here at IONNA. Real reliability doesn’t come from cutting a ribbon and calling it a day, it comes from showing up where and how our drivers need it.
Project Rechargery Refresh is our commitment to return to select locations to fine-tune, improve, and level up your juice up. Instead of “set it and forget it,” we take a “check back, tune up, and make it better” approach. Because the drivers who count on us deserve a top-notch experience.
What...and where are we refreshing?
Additional lighting for a better experience
We’re adding lighting to improve visibility and comfort, especially during early mornings, evenings, and overnight sessions.
Locations include:
📍White Bear Lake, MN
📍Lewisville, TX
📍Grand Prairie, TX
📍 Willcox, AZ
📍Gilman, IL
Weather-ready canopies
Where we can, we add canopies to help protect drivers from rain, snow, and intense sun. Because standing in a storm or baking in the heat shouldn’t be part of the charging experience.
Locations include:
📍 Scranton, PA
📍 Carlin, NV
📍 Concord, NC
Active, useful amenities
We’re working to fill amenity gaps with nearby tenants where possible, so there’s something worth stepping out for while you charge.
Locations include:
📍 Abilene, KS - Saddles & Spurs is now open! Their menu is packed with all the classics you'll love, from crispy frickles and legendary Saddle Grill Burger to yummy cheese fries.
Charging with IONNA isn’t just about plugging in, it’s about the top-notch driver focused experience.
This will be an ongoing effort. Upgrades may vary by location based on site needs, usage, and local conditions.

Plug Talk: CCS vs. NACS – What You’ll Find at IONNA
Whether you're new to the EV world, or a seasoned driver, it never hurts to go back to the basics. Today, we're talking charging standards.
There are two common standards that have been widely adopted in North America: CCS (Combined Charging System) and NACS (North American Charging Standard). At IONNA, we ensure that whichever comes with your car, we've got you covered.
So, what’s the difference?
CCS is currently the most widely used connector among many EV models. Think of it as the veteran; reliable, proven, and everywhere.
NACS is the newer kid on the block, sleek and compact, and showing up on more and more vehicles each year.
Both do the same job: deliver fast, reliable charging so you can get back on the road. They just have different “outfits.”
What you’ll see at IONNA
We know plugs might be confusing at first glance, so we’ve made it simple:
Both CCS and NACS connectors are available at every IONNA site.
Plenty of signage along each bay to guide you as you pull up. Our signature ‘top hats’ overhead make it even easier to spot where to plug in.
Color coding to guide you:
Blue for CCS
Orange for NACS
PSA: Some older Tesla models (pre-2020) may need an upgrade before charging. Please check your Tesla Owners Manual for details on third-party charging.
The bottom line
At IONNA, it doesn’t matter if your EV speaks CCS or NACS because we speak both. And with our clear signs and bright color codes, finding your match is as easy as spotting your favorite color.
At IONNA, we add comfort into all parts of your journey. That’s why many of our Rechargeries come equipped with a little something extra: the IONNA Driver’s Lounge.
Here’s how to access it in just a few simple steps:
1. Pull In Drive into one of our IONNA Rechargeries. You’ll know you’re in the right place—retro design, welcoming vibes, and dispensers ready to go.
2. Spot the QR Code Locate the QR code nearest you (by the door or on your charging screen) and give it a quick scan with your phone to get started.
3. Wait for the Text After scanning, you’ll receive a text with access info. It only takes a moment.
4. Step Inside Once you’re in, make yourself at home. Our lounges are designed for comfort and ease...think plush seating, refreshments, Wi-Fi, and a comfortable place to unwind before the road calls you back.
So next time you plug in, don’t just wait around. Recharge. Relax. You’ve earned it.
