Construction is underway at eight sites in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, all slated to open by year-end. The partnership has more than doubled Ionna’s network footprint in three months, bringing the total number of charging bays under construction or operational to over 900. Since July, the company has also increased contracted bays by 20%, moving toward its goal of 30,000 ultra-fast chargers by 2030.
“This partnership with Casey’s is key to expanding our presence in America’s heartland — a region that embodies the spirit and tenor of Ionna’s brand,” said Seth Cutler, CEO of Ionna. “With a shared respect and commitment to delivering quality customer experience, we are pleased to add Casey’s to our growing network of partners.”
