How Ionna Wants To Take On Tesla + Google Gemini’s Car Takeover
Is the Golden Age of EV charging finally here? This week on the Plugged-In Podcast, Tim sits down with Seth Cutler, CEO of Ionna, the massive charging joint venture backed by seven of the world’s biggest automakers. We dig into how Ionna plans to deploy 30,000 chargers by 2030 and whether this company can actually fix the reliability crisis.Plus, Mack takes the new Volvo EX60 for a spin to test its Google Gemini integration, which is also coming to vehicles from GM, Polestar, and other brands.
