## IONITY chargers lead Germany's fast charging
IONITY chargers averaged 894 sessions per DC charge point in Germany during Q3 2026, according to ChargePointRadar.
## IONITY outperforms Tesla and others
IONITY led with 894.1 sessions per DC charge point, ahead of Tesla's 659.5, Fastned's 526.5, and EnBW's 513.0.
## IONITY's Köschinger Forst site tops utilization
IONITY's Köschinger Forst site on the A9 between Munich and Nuremberg recorded 1,952 sessions per charge point in Q3.
## IONITY CEO explains utilization focus
IONITY CEO Jeroen van Tilburg stated that utilization matters more than plug counts for charging networks.

> Every fast charger comes with a grid connection, a permit and years of operating costs, and those costs are the same whether 21 cars stop there each day or only 2. That's why I don't measure the success of a charging network by number of plugs alone. What counts is having the right chargers in the right place: on the routes people actually drive, at the stops they would make anyway, with enough power for the cars that arrive next.
## ChargePointRadar's Q3 session data
ChargePointRadar tracked 24.5 million sessions in Germany during Q3, with DC charge points accounting for 70.9% of sessions.
## IONITY's funding and expansion plans
IONITY secured up to €600 million in financing to expand its ultra-fast charging network across Europe.
## Key takeaway
