IONITY more than doubles charging network in a year
High-power charging network IONITY has announced a major UK milestone of more than 700 ultra-rapid 350kW+ chargers now open to the public.
The construction of IONITY’s 700th charger at its site in Strathclyde means that the UK IONITY network has more than doubled its number of charging points for the third year in a row, having started 2025 at around 300.
IONITY intends to offer more than 1,000 charging points by the end of 2026 with key site openings at Fort William, Inverness and Aston, south Birmingham, set to be announced in Q1.
Thirty-three per cent of all public 350kW+ chargers in the UK are operated by IONITY.
Andreas Atkins, UK & Ireland Country Manager at IONITY, commented: “More than doubling our number of ultra-rapid chargers in the UK in less than a year, for the third year running, is undeniable evidence of IONITY’s commitment to building a future-proof charging infrastructure that keeps pace with EV adoption.
“With one in three of the UK’s ultra-rapid chargers now operated by IONITY, we are proud to be enabling more sustainable travel and giving drivers the confidence that the charging network is growing alongside the switch to electric mobility.
“IONITY’s chargers are powered by 100% renewable energy and deliver charging speeds of up to 350kW, allowing EVs to charge from 10% to 80% in under 15 minutes. By 2030, the company expects to reach 1,300 charging sites globally.”
