This groundbreaking 360-degree solution, overseen by the newly established Stellantis Charging & Energy Business Unit, offers seamless access to charging infrastructure and services for EV owners, ensuring convenience and accessibility at home, workplace, and while on the move. With Free2move Charge, Stellantis aims to provide a holistic approach to address the evolving needs of electric-vehicle customers and foster a sustainable future for mobility.

“As the pace of mainstream EV adoption accelerates, our customers need us to be more than just a mobility provider,” said Ricardo Stamatti, senior vice president, Stellantis Charging & Energy Business Unit. “We are taking the lead in establishing a dedicated business unit that will support our bold electrification strategy and act as a natural extension of our iconic brands. Free2move Charge is the first product rolling out, exemplifying our purpose of delivering performance, value, sustainability and electrified mobility freedom for all.”

Simplifying Charging, Optimizing Energy, and Enabling Personalization

The Free2move Charge is a game-changing ecosystem that ensures electric-vehicle (EV) owners will Always Be Charged (e-ABC Promise). This innovative solution goes beyond basic charging infrastructure, it also offers intelligent features that understand the needs of users, optimizing energy management for improved efficiency, reliability, and accessibility. By reducing the total cost of ownership and maximizing environmental benefits, Free2move Charge paves the way for hassle-free battery-electric vehicle ownership.

With the support of the dedicated Free2move e-Genius team, customers have the opportunity to create personalized packages that can be adjusted and tailored to their evolving requirements throughout the ownership experience.

By alleviating concerns like charging anxiety, Free2move Charge serves as a vital tool in achieving the ambitious objectives outlined in the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan.
