BMW and Mini electric vehicle drivers in the United States can now receive a 20% discount when charging at Ionna DC fast-charging stations. The offer runs until September 30, 2026, and applies when owners start a session through Plug & Charge or the My BMW app.
The new promotion gives BMW and Mini EV drivers a 20% discount at Ionna charging stations across the U.S. The discount is applied directly to the final charging bill, with no separate subscription, card or manual activation required.
However, the lower rate only applies when the session is started using Plug & Charge or through the My BMW app. Drivers who pay directly at the charger with a debit or credit card will not receive the discount.
According to the source, Ionna typically charges between $0.33 and $0.39 per kWh. With the 20% discount, BMW and Mini EV drivers should see effective pricing of roughly $0.27 to $0.32 per kWh, depending on the station rate.
This is Ionna’s second special pricing campaign. Earlier this year, the network also offered a 10% discount to GM electric vehicle drivers.
BMW of North America Executive Vice President Shaun Bugbee said reliable high-speed charging infrastructure remains essential for the continued growth of the electric vehicle market. He also pointed to BMW’s expanding electric vehicle lineup in the U.S., including the next-generation BMW iX3, which is expected to arrive later this year.
BMW is one of Ionna’s founding partners, giving the automaker a direct role in the development of one of the newest DC fast-charging networks in the United States.
Ionna uses 400-kW DC fast chargers and offers stations designed with cleaner, more comfortable amenities than many traditional charging locations. The network said it will also charge just $0.20 per kWh during the first week at every new location it opens this year.
According to the source, Ionna has activated 212 new charging bays this year, bringing its total to nearly 1,000 individual bays across 100 stations.
Ionna’s long-term target is much larger. By the end of the decade, the company wants to operate at least 30,000 DC fast-charging bays capable of delivering up to 400 kW through CCS or NACS connectors.
The network currently has 4,700 bays contracted, with around 1,500 already under construction. Ionna was founded in 2024 by loveral automakers and energized its first charging stalls in December 2024.
After a slower start, the company accelerated its rollout and reached 100 locations after 14 months. The new BMW and Mini discount could help bring more drivers to the growing network while lowering charging costs for existing EV owners.
