Graphite is formed from Covalent bond , it means it has no ions .
So how graphite can conduct electricity??

Dear Student
Graphite has a giant covalent structure in which: each carbon atom is joined to three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. each carbon atom has one non-bonded outer electron, which becomes delocalised.
Graphite has delocalised electrons, just like metals. These electrons are free to move between the layers in graphite, so graphite can conduct electricity.

It doesn't mean it has no ions....

Graphite has weak force of attraction between electrons
