Eight Casey's locations, listed below, have already broken ground in six states with plans to open by December.

The number of Rechargeries at Casey's will expand, with both teams working together to scale the partnership, IONNA said.

The Rechargeries will offer 400-killowatt power dispensers.

The addition of these Rechargeries brings IONNA's network to more than 900 charging bays in construction or beyond.

"This partnership with Casey's is key to expanding our presence in America's heartland—a region that embodies the spirit and tenor of IONNA's brand," said Seth Cutler, CEO of IONNA.
