Powering the Future: Expanded EV Charging Coming Soon

The future of driving is electric, and it’s arriving faster than ever. A newly announced partnership between IONNA and Circle K is set to dramatically expand EV charging access across the United States, making it even more convenient for drivers to choose electric and hybrid vehicles. That means drivers will have more confidence, more flexibility, and more reasons to consider a new Kia EV or hybrid.

A Major Step Forward for EV Charging

IONNA, a charging network backed by leading automakers including Kia, has partnered with Circle K to bring high-powered EV charging stations to hundreds of locations nationwide. The plan includes:

• Expanding to over 350 EV charging sites
• Upgrading approximately 85 existing charging locations
• Installing chargers at high-traffic Circle K locations
• Delivering ultra-fast charging speeds up to 400 kW
• Supporting both NACS and CCS charging standards

With Circle K’s 7,300+ locations across the U.S., EV charging will be more accessible than ever, especially along major travel routes and in everyday convenience stops.

The Benefits of Going Electric or Hybrid

Switching to an EV or hybrid isn’t just about keeping up with trends. They give you real, everyday advantages:

Lower Fuel Costs:
Electricity is often more affordable than gasoline, helping you save over time.

Reduced Emissions:
EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, while hybrids significantly reduce fuel consumption.

Less Maintenance:
Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, meaning fewer routine service needs.

Convenience:
With expanding charging networks like the IONNA and Circle K partnership, it’s easier than ever to charge on the go.

Performance & Technology:
Kia EVs deliver instant torque, smooth acceleration, and advanced tech features that enhance every drive.
