IONNA is dropping the cost of DC fast charging by 48% for Memorial Day, just in time for road trips and long weekend getaways. Here’s the lowdown.

From 12:01 am Friday, May 22, to 11:59 pm Monday, May 25, IONNA is offering a Memorial Day promotional rate of $0.20/kWh for all DC fast-charging sessions at participating IONNA “Rechargeries.” That’s down from its regular price of $0.39/kWh, for a 48% savings, making road tripping in an EV even sweeter during a gas price crisis. (Considering I paid 0.50/kWh to top up my VW ID.4 last night at a ViaLynk charging station, I think this is a bargain.)

IONNA is a joint venture backed by eight of the world’s biggest automakers – BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and Toyota – working to rapidly scale a US DC fast-charging network.

It’s partnered with Casey’s in the Midwest, Wawa in the East, and Circle K, a convenience store with over 7,000 locations across the US, to expand its ultra-fast charging stations. It plans to open 30,000 charging bays by 2030, featuring 400kW chargers with NACS and CCS plugs.
