To further ease customer's transition to electrification,
Stellantis is launching its Free2move Charge website and Free2move
Charge app as the company begins to launch its first all-new,
all-electric vehicles this year.
"With our fully electric vehicles now arriving in the U.S.
market, starting with the Fiat 500e, and the Jeep Wagoneer S and
Dodge Charger Daytona coming soon, our customers will quickly
realize that our BEVs will carry the same brand DNA that our
customers have grown to love, but with electrification and next
level technology," said Carlos
Zarlenga, COO, Stellantis. "Electrification is a game
changer. Yes, our customers will see efficiency gains, but they
will also experience incredible performance advancements, including
technology, ride and handling, giving our brands, such as Jeep,
greater off-road capabilities and defending the Dodge Charger's
claim as the world's quickest and most powerful muscle
car."
Added Zarlenga, "With these advancements, our goal is to make
the charging process for these vehicles as simple and easy as we
can for our owners, and our Free2move Charge options will act as
our customers' entry point."
The Free2move Charge website and app assist consumers before,
through and after the buying process, educating and helping them
understand battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and the charging options
available to them as new BEV owners. The Free2move Charge app,
available in the U.S. and Canada,
can be downloaded via Apple and Google app stores.
"As we introduce our all-electric vehicles this year in the
U.S., we want to ensure that our customers easily understand the
charging options available to them before or upon purchase," said
Mathilde Lheureux, head of energy
and charge business unit, Free2move eSolutions. "Simply
stated, included in the purchase of a Stellantis battery-electric
vehicle is the ability choose a Free2move Level 2 charging unit or
charging credits with a value of $600
to use at charging stations across the country, which are easily
identifiable through the app."
Free2move Charge – Home Package
Included with the purchase of a Stellantis BEV, customers will have
the option to choose the Free2move Charge Home Package, which
offers a Level 2 charging unit (valued at approximately
$600), allowing owners to charge
their vehicle from the comfort and convenience of home. The
Free2move Charge app will also inform owners of the best times to
charge, avoiding peak rates and more.
Owners can have their new Free2move Charge Home charging station
safely installed in three simple steps:
- Go to the Free2move Charge website and access the
easy-to-use installation portal through the Free2Move Charge Home
Package option
- Answer some questions about the home or location for the
charging station and upload a few photos to get a commitment-free
estimate from Qmerit.com. Consumers will be guided through
this step, and it only takes 5-10 minutes
- Schedule an appointment and start charging. The preferred
installer will take care of the necessary permits and have owners
connected and configured in no time
- Cost of installation varies depending on BEV owner's
needs; Qmerit offers free estimates through its website
Free2move Charge – Go Package
For those BEV buyers who select charging credits ($600) as part of their BEV purchase, the
Free2move Charge app will provide the closest EV charging locations
to drivers, charging history and balance of remaining credits. At
home, on the go or for business, the Free2move Charge ecosystem of
simple-to-use electric-vehicle charging solutions helps drivers
stay charged and ready, wherever the road takes them. The Free2move
Charge app can be downloaded via Apple and Google app stores.
The Go Package includes $600 of
charging credits that can be used at public charging stations (DC
and Level 2 chargers) across the country, which are easily
identifiable in the app. Credits are accessed through the Free2move
Charge app, making it easy to find, activate and pay all in
one.
Stellantis customers will have access to more than 75,000
charging networks across the United
States, including ChargePoint, Shell Recharge and EVgo.
Additionally, through the company's joint venture with IONNA, IONNA

first charging stations expected to open in the U.S. in 2024,
followed by Canada.
