IONITY is building the backbone of electric mobility in Europe.
Founded by leading automotive manufacturers, we operate Europe’s largest high-power charging network across 24 countries, enabling seamless long-distance travel for EV drivers. With thousands of charging points already in operation and significant expansion ahead, IONITY is evolving beyond charging infrastructure into a broader mobility, energy and digital platform.
As EV adoption accelerates, new opportunities emerge at the intersection of mobility, energy markets, technology and customer experience. We are uniquely positioned to shape how people, vehicles and energy systems interact across Europe.
This is where you come in.
