I’m curious where they are expanding. Are they duplicating areas in high population areas or going out to fill the voids in the mid west/mountain regions. A mix of both would be best but hope their planning is solid to grow areas to increase EV adoption

The red stars are Ionna’s registered stations. The brown dots are known DCFCs registered in the Alternative Fuels Database.

Ionna don’t appear to have many stations that create fundamentally new options. There are a few in somewhat unique areas a few tens of miles away from other DCFCs. A cursory, non-scientific estimate is that I70 through Kansas and into Colorado probably has the most unique stations.

That said, this is for the 55 stations they have built or have registered as to-be-built with the Alternative Fuels Database. What they’re doing next is not necessarily fully public.

Private charging companies are going to go where the customers are. Which creates the negative feedback loop. Some states aren’t supportive of EV charging stations so they’re not helping build them without federal dollars. So in some places there aren’t enough charging stations to entice customers to buy EVs. So private charging companies don’t see the value in putting charging stations there… And around and around that swirls into the drain.

I will note...

I pulled the data today. It had been less than two weeks since I’d pulled the same data. There are 144 more stations registered in the database today than there were less than two weeks ago.

Thanks for sharing this. Always above and beyond and I (and I’m sure others) appreciate it
