SCRANTON, Pa. — EV drivers will soon have more chances to recharge at Sheetz stores across the eastern United States, thanks to a partnership with IONNA, the charging network founded by eight of the world’s top automakers: BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Stellantis and Toyota.
The charging network and the convenience store chain announced that they will be opening EV Rechargeries in Ohio and Scranton this month and will have 50 Rechargeries in place at Sheetz stores across the region by the end of 2026.
“At IONNA, every decision is made with the driver’s experience in mind," the company said in a press release. "That level of customer centricity is built into the DNA of our business, and it’s a quality we recognize in Sheetz, making them the right choice for our first partner,” said Seth Cutler, CEO of IONNA.
Sheetz officials said it's a new era for the company.
“Our mission at Sheetz is to put the Sheetz as we know it today out of business,” said Trevor Walter, EVP of petroleum supply management at Sheetz. “We do this through constantly evolving our business and introducing forward-thinking solutions."
"As the electric vehicle market expands, enhancing our charging infrastructure exemplifies this commitment," Walter said. "Our collaboration with IONNA has rapidly enabled us to bring more advanced charging options to our customers, demonstrating the power of innovation in delivering seamless, future-focused services.”
The IONNA/Sheetz Rechargeries will include multiple high-power charging bays, covered by the signature red canopies for weather protection.
Like all traditional refuelers, Rechargery users will enjoy full access to Sheetz amenities, including restrooms, food & beverages and free Wi-Fi.
