Stellantis Offers Free Charger Or Charging Credits To EV Buyers

I purchased a BreezEV charger for my home since I am reviewing so many electric vehicles,  here's the story.  - Car Pro Show Host Jerry Reynolds

Stellantis is gearing up to launch its first all-new, all-electric vehicles this year. To help pave the way for their arrival, the automaker recently launched its new Free2move Charge website and Free2move Charge app.   The automaker says both are designed to 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 will also inform owners of the best times to charge, avoiding peak rates and more.  The app is available in the U.S. and Canada, can be downloaded via Apple and Google app stores.  

Stellantis EV Charging Options

Stellantis also says it will offer EV buyers one of two options when they buy a new BEV: either a free Level 2 home charging unit, or charging credits (valued at $600) to use at charging stations across the country. Here's a close look at both:

Free2move - Home 

Owners can opt to have a Free2move Charge Home charging station safely installed in three steps: 

1. Go to the Free2move Charge website and access the easy-to-use installation portal through the Free2Move Charge Home Package option
2. 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
3. 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 
4. Cost of installation varies depending on BEV owner’s needs; Qmerit offers free estimates through its website

Free2move Charge – Go Package

BEV buyers can instead opt for the Go Package that includes $600 of charging credits that can be used at public charging stations (DC and Level 2 chargers) across the country.  Credits are accessed through the Free2move Charge app, making it easy to find, activate and pay all in one.charging credits (a $600 value).  The app can be downloaded via Apple and Google stores.

Charging Network

Stellantis says its EV 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 plans to deploy a minimum of 30,000 in-network chargers. The first charging stations from the venture are expected to open in the U.S. in 2024, followed by Canada.  

Stellantis BEV and PHEV vehicles currently come equipped with the J1772 charging port. Earlier this year, the automaker announced its adoption of the upcoming SAE J3400 charging connector, starting with select BEV models launching in North America for the 2026 model year.
