Ikea U.S. has teamed with Electrify America to bring ultra-fast public charging stations and delivery fleet electric vehicle charging to more than 25 Ikea retail locations throughout the U.S.

The plan will enable Ikea U.S. to quadruple its total number of EV chargers, supporting the goal of achieving zero-emission home deliveries by 2025 and halving relative emissions from customer and co-worker travel by 2030.

In total, there will be more than 200 individual ultra-fast chargers offering the fastest charging speeds available today — 150kW to 350kW — at Ikea retail locations in 18 states including in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

The first locations are expected to open in late 2022 and be completed by the end of 2023.

Ikea selected Electrify Commercial, Electrify America's business unit designed to help deliver turnkey electric vehicle charging solutions, to provide more than 225 individual chargers across the sites.
