Ionity and Holiday Inn Doncaster have launched a pioneering public electric vehicle (EV) High-Power charging (HPC) station in Doncaster. This is the first of six planned across the UK, with new locations to be rolled out throughout the year and in 2025.
Located on the A1(M) corridor at Jct. 36, the site is equipped with six 350kW HPC stations and marks the start of a new era in sustainable hospitality. The site offers amenities for EV drivers, hotel guests, and the public. The hotel offers a Proud to Serve Starbucks which provides customers with coffee to go and offers a gym, workspaces with WiFi, and essential facilities like toilets.
The partnership between IONITY and Holiday Inn Doncaster A1 Jct.36, is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern travellers who are increasingly looking for convenient, sustainable options on the go. By integrating high-power EV charging with hotel services, the site creates a versatile space that serves not only overnight guests but also EV drivers and travellers, setting an example of leading sustainable hospitality.
Andreas Atkins, Ionity's country manager for the UK and Ireland, said: “We are excited to launch our first site with Holiday Inn in Doncaster A1, bringing together high-power charging, hospitality, and a welcoming space for everyone. This innovative partnership represents a new chapter in the way we think about sustainable travel, making EV driving easier and more convenient while also creating community hubs that everyone can enjoy.”
