Stellantis has announced the launch of its groundbreaking service, Free2move Charge. This initiative aims to provide an all-encompassing solution for electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management needs.
Led by the newly formed Stellantis Charging & Energy Business Unit, Free2move Charge is designed to accommodate EV customers’ requirements, whether they are at home, at work, or on the move, explained the company on Tuesday.
“We aim to be more than just a mobility provider. With the rapid adoption of EVs, we are establishing a dedicated business unit to support our electrification strategy. Free2move Charge is our first product in this new venture, emphasizing our commitment to performance, value, sustainability, and electrified mobility for all,” said Ricardo Stamatti, Senior Vice President of the Charging & Energy Business Unit at Stellantis.
Free2move Charge is built on three core pillars. The first, Free2move Charge Home, will assist private customers with the installation, financing, and warranty of home charging and other energy hardware and services.
The second, Free2move Charge Business, is a one-stop-shop platform offering a full range of charging and energy services for businesses. Lastly, Free2move Charge GO guarantees seamless access to an extensive network of public charging points across North America, Europe, and more regions to be announced soon.
The new service supports the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, aiming for 100% passenger car battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales mix in Europe and a 50% BEV sales mix in the United States by 2030.
This Free2move Charge network will be available in the following countries:
Stamatti was asked by reporters today whether the company would adopt Tesla’s charging connector, known as the North American Charging Standard. “We will be addressing that question soon,” said Stamatti, declining to give more details.
Earlier today, Volvo and SAE announced they would hop on to adopt and support NACS, following in the footsteps of Ford, GM, and Rivian.
