Ionity will launch 600-kilowatt electric vehicle supercharging stations.
According to media reports, European electric vehicle charging service provider Ionity has announced that it will roll out an ultra-high-power charging network across Europe starting in the second half of this year. The network’s output power will far exceed the current charging capabilities of EVs, signaling the technological direction for the next generation of electric vehicles. Ionity, a company jointly invested in by BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and the Volkswagen Group, revealed that its 600-kilowatt HYC1000 supercharging stations will begin operations within Europe this year. An Ionity spokesperson stated: "We are maintaining close communication with multiple automakers, and we expect a significant number of new EV models supporting ultra-high-power charging to join our network over the coming years. The infrastructure currently being deployed is specifically designed to meet the demands of next-generation electric vehicles, ensuring a quantum leap in charging speeds." The spokesperson declined to disclose the exact locations of the 600-kilowatt supercharging stations, nor did they provide details on the actual number of stations scheduled to be operational this year versus those planned for 2026.
Ionity plans to expand its European charging network from the current 750 sites to over 1,300 by 2030, while increasing the total number of charging points from 5,000 to approximately 13,000—marking a dual leap in both site numbers and individual station capacity. Ionity notes that the new charging equipment is being manufactured by Alpitronic and is currently undergoing rigorous testing at the company’s test facility near its Munich headquarters. The company estimates that its ultra-fast chargers will be able to replenish a vehicle with 300 kilometers (186 miles) of range in just 8 minutes, redefining the electric vehicle user experience with this unprecedented efficiency. Although no commercially available electric vehicles can yet fully leverage 600-kilowatt chargers, the electricity generated by these advanced devices can still be shared among users.
Meanwhile, automakers are gradually increasing the charging power of their electric vehicles. Volvo Cars announced that its new ES90 flagship electric sedan will support 350-kilowatt fast-charging stations, enabling it to add 300 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes. The ES90 can also charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 20 minutes—30% faster than the charging speed of Volvo's flagship electric SUV, the EX90, which was introduced last year.
