Extra MSA expands IONITY EV charging offer

Motorway service operator Extra MSA is extending its partnership with chargepoint operator IONITY. 

A total of 24 350kW ultra-rapid IONITY charge points are now live at Extra MSA’s Cambridge (A14(M11), J24), Cobham (M25 J9/10) and Peterborough Services (A1(M) J17 and A605). 

The motorway service operator will also be expanding its EV capability across Leeds Skelton Lake (M1 J45), Blackburn (M65 J4) and Baldock Services (A1(M) J10) from now until the end of the year. 

Extra MSA is aiming to be the first motorway services provider to surpass the government’s targets of installing at least six chargers at each service area.  

Tom Dobson, chief executive at Extra MSA Group, said: “IONITY’s 350kW ultra-fast charge points are some of the highest-powered and most economical facilities available, reflecting our commitment to investing in the best possible customer experience.” 

IONITY’s partnership with green energy provider Octopus means all of the energy powering its ultra-rapid chargers is 100% renewable, making EV travel truly emission-free and climate-neutral.  

Andreas Atkins, country manager UK & Ireland at IONITY, said: “We’ve been partnered with Extra MSA for many years, leading the way in delivering the highest standard of infrastructure on some of the UK’s busiest roads. Increasing to 24 350kW chargers at Cambridge, Cobham and Peterborough shows the demand for more sustainable travel, and aligns with our commitment to more than double the number of publicly available stations and charging points in the UK for the third consecutive year.”
