Automakers collaborate on Ionity for EVs to charge across Europe

If automakers want to sell electric vehicles (EVs), they have to make it easy for drivers to use and charge them. The EV segment started out with a handful of city runabouts, targeted at the daily commute or local shopping trips. But over the years, the vehicles' range capabilities have grown and owners are now looking to use their EVs for long-distance travel. The trouble is that the charging infrastructure investment to date has been largely concentrated in urban areas. What can you do when you want to drive the family from Germany to Italy for a summer holiday? Ionity is on the case.
