This paper investigates a multi-species Poisson–Nernst–Planck–Navier–Stokes (PNP-NS) system coupled with a self-consistent electrostatic potential. On a one-dimensional bounded domain, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions that allow for vacuum in the initial fluid density. This work extends the two-ion global well-posedness results of Chen [S. Chen, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 554 (2026) 129943] to arbitrary multi-ion configurations with distinct valences and diffusion coefficients.
