More and more people are using electric vehicles for long-distance travel in Europe – especially now during the holiday season. IONITY is adjusting the conditions of the IONITY PASSPORT subscription tariff for charging in IONITY’s High Power Charging (HPC) network. 

This will benefit frequent drivers and especially holiday travellers, who can charge quickly, reliably and with 100% renewable energy at IONITY in 24 European countries. Even for those on short notice: IONITY PASSPORT can be booked simply and easily via the IONITY smartphone app. 

The High-Power Charging (HPC) technology with a charging power of up to 350 kW allows particularly fast charging. Many leading car manufacturers as well as mobility service providers have already integrated IONITY into their charging services and thus offer access to the IONITY charging network. 

Direct customers of IONITY can choose between the IONITY DIRECT tariff for spontaneous charging as well as the IONITY PASSPORT as subscription. The latter is worthwhile for those who charge frequently at IONITY and want to take advantage of the benefits of a pan- European charging network. With its new conditions, IONITY PASSPORT takes into account the changed market and customer requirements: in addition to price advantages compared to ad-hoc pricing, the subscription can also be cancelled at any time. It is therefore particularly worthwhile for long-distance journeys or for holiday travellers who cover many kilometers in a short time and want the shortest possible charging times. 

In concrete terms, this means that compared to spontaneous charging with the IONITY DIRECT tariff, the subscription already pays off, if more than 60 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy are charged within in a month – this corresponds to around two charging sessions or a distance of 300 kilometers (km) with an EV at an average consumption of 20 kWh/100km. 

The new conditions of the IONITY PASSPORT at a glance 

For new contracts signed after 6th June, the previous minimum contract term of 12 months will no longer apply. The IONITY PASSPORT can be terminated at any time with just one month’s notice. The monthly fee drops from the previous 17.99 Euros to 11.99 Euros. The price per charged kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity is always 0.20 Euros below the currently valid IONITY DIRECT rate. For example, those who charge with the IONITY PASSPORT in Germany will pay 0.59 euros/kWh instead of the ad hoc price of 0.79 euros/kWh. Deviations from this price may occur in some European countries due to the respective local currency, country-specific VAT rates or local peculiarities. The current prices can be viewed transparently on the IONITY website and in the IONITY smartphone APP. The IONITY PASSPORT can be easily booked via the IONITY smartphone app. 

Customers who charge at IONITY also benefit from: 

• A strongly developed ultra-fast charging network in the main European travel countries such as France or Italy, and along major travel routes 
• Easy access and uniform, convenient charging and payment processes 
• Reduced CO2 footprint: With 100% green electricity for emission-free and climate- neutral driving 
• 24/7 service hotline in 8 languages 
• Additional services around the charging station
