2025

Snellman has together with A&O Shearman advised IONITY GmbH in connection with a financing of up to 600 million euros.

The financing includes 450 million euros in committed green loan facilities and a so-called accordion facility, i.e., the option to increase the credit line by up to 150 million euros at a later date to support future growth. This marks the largest loan transaction ever made in the European EV charging industry and underscores the market’s trust in IONITY’s long-term vision.

Currently operating over 5,000 charging points, IONITY aims to more than double the number of charging points to approximately 13,000 and grow its network to more than 1,300 charging sites by the end of 2030. Today, IONITY chargers can provide a minimum of 400 kW, enabling up to 300 kilometres of range in just 10 to 15 minutes. As the only European network supporting 800V vehicle architectures at every charging point, IONITY is built to meet the demands of today’s electric vehicles and the performance standards of next-generation models.

Snellman’s core team has consisted of Richard Åkerman, Astrid Trolle Adams, Maja Uppgren and Carl Tengblad (Private M&A), Mikael Stabo and Angelica Berntsson (Real Assets).
