IONITY, the European leader in high-performance charging for electric vehicles, celebrates the installation of its 1000th charging station in France, located in Bessoncourt. With 168 operational stations, the company is accelerating its development to respond to the rise of electric vehicles (EVs). By 2025, IONITY plans to expand its network to urban and suburban areas. It also aims to launch a new version of its app for improved route planning.
A key step for electric mobility in France
IONITY has just crossed a new symbolic threshold in France: the installation of its 1000th charging station in Bessoncourt. An important moment that demonstrates the company’s commitment to support the growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and enhance their accessibility. The company has 168 stations operational across the country. It continues to invest to provide its users with reliable, fast, and sustainable charging stations.
This expansion is set against a backdrop of strong demand as the French market is one of the most dynamic in Europe in terms of electric mobility. In 2024, the use of IONITY stations recorded a 68% increase. This is a clear indicator of the growing adoption of electric vehicles and the confidence of drivers in the proposed solutions. IONITY aims to meet this rising demand. To achieve this, the company is strengthening its infrastructure and diversifying its installations.
A service tailored to drivers’ needs
To meet charging needs, IONITY distinguishes itself with its ultra-fast 350 kW charging stations. These stations allow for charging up to 300 km of range in just 15 minutes, a performance that makes all the difference on long trips. But the company does not stop there. It plans to extend its coverage to urban and suburban areas. At the same time, it is developing hybrid stations, designed to combine the accessibility of highways with proximity to urban centers. This is the case, for example, of the Bessoncourt station, located in a strategic commercial area. It has 12 high-power chargers, making this a particularly significant step in the development of the network.
Jeroen van Tilburg, CEO of IONITY, explains: « We want to provide our customers with solutions tailored to all their electric mobility needs, whether they are on long-distance trips or in their daily life ». A vision that allows IONITY to establish itself as an essential player in the charging space, with installations designed to offer comfort and speed to its users.
Focusing on an enriched user experience in 2025
In 2025, IONITY will deploy a new version of its application. This update will offer an even smoother and optimized experience. Among the upcoming features, route planning will be simplified and managing charging sessions made more intuitive. A change that addresses a desire to always better satisfy the expectations of EV drivers, particularly those looking for a quick and simplified charging experience. The continuous growth of the IONITY network in France is part of a larger project to develop charging infrastructure across Europe. The company focuses on strategic areas. This approach allows it to offer a reliable charging solution. It also paves the way for new economic opportunities for local stakeholders.
