FAQs
While the IONITY App shows when charging points are available and offers helpful details about our locations, you don’t need the app to charge using the charging card. However, please note that the charging card can only be ordered and managed through the app.
IONITY Monthly Subscriptions are valid in 23 European countries, there is no minimum contract period, and the subscription can be terminated at any time with a notice period of one month.
IONITY Annual Subscriptions are also valid in 23 European countries. Each subscription ends automatically at the end of the contract term after 12 months and is not renewed automatically. If you want to continue using the annual subscription after the 12-month term, you need to actively sign up for a new subscription.

Even if your EV cannot accept charging power of up to 600 kW, our charging points will still enable you to charge at the maximum power your EV can accept. Learn more about ultra-fast charging in 3 easy ways to achieve the fastest charging speeds.
While the monthly base fee and annual one-time fee for our subscriptions remain the same, charging prices may vary by country when you're traveling. You can find the charging prices per kWh for each country further up on this page by switching between countries using the drop-down menu.
Please call the service number displayed on the IONITY station.
Your charging card is accepted at all IONITY charging points. Charging sessions will be billed in the local currency of the country where the charging takes place. You can view the price per kWh for each specific charging site directly in the app.
The best way to avoid queues at EV chargers during summer holidays is to plan ahead and use a route planner, such as the one in the IONITY App, to identify peak charging times. You can also use the IONITY App to view the number of chargers at each IONITY Location, check charger availability before arriving on-site and identify how close to finishing a session each driver is when you arrive. Read more tips in our summer charging guide.
You can upgrade to IONITY Power anytime within the IONITY App. Just go to the associated section and select your desired new subscription plan. You will receive an order confirmation in the IONITY App and at the email address registered in your user account. The upgrade will be implemented immediately and displayed in the IONITY App. You can also downgrade from IONITY Power to IONITY Motion within the app, which will be reflected in the IONITY App, but will only take effect from the next billing date.
The IONITY App is helpful for navigating but the charging authorization must be processed with the IONITY Fleet Charging Card.
The price for charging with an IONITY Charging Card is the same as when charging through the app. You can view the charging rates in your subscription details under “Subscriptions” in the app.
IONITY Motion and IONITY Power are monthly subscription plans with reduced kWh prices and a flexible monthly contract that can be cancelled at any time. IONITY Motion 365 and Power 365 are annual subscription plans that offer the same kWh prices as the corresponding monthly plan (Motion or Power) but run for 12 months with the subscription charged as a one-time upfront fee. Each plan ends automatically after the 12-month term without renewal.
