From State of Charge.

IONNA is a new high-speed fast charging network for electric vehicles, born from a partnership of eight large automakers: General Motors, Stellantis, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Honda, and Toyota. In this video, I travel to Apex, North Carolina, to check out the first IONNA site and interview the company’s CEO, CPO and Chief Engineer.
