Charge! Stellantis offers at-home charging station or charge credits with new BEV purchase package
16 July 2024
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.
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 US and Canada, can be downloaded via Apple and Google app stores.
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 steps:
Go to the Free2move Charge website and access the 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. The preferred installer will take care of the necessary permits and have owners connected and configured.
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, IONNA plans to deploy a minimum of 30,000 in-network chargers, with the first charging stations expected to open in the US in 2024, followed by Canada.
Stellantis BEV and PHEV vehicles currently come equipped with the J1772 charging port. The company announced its adoption of the upcoming SAE J3400 charging connector, starting with select BEV models launching in North America for the 2026 model year.
Free2move Charge is managed by the new Stellantis Charging & Energy Business Unit.
