A network of fast charging stations (> 50 kW) will be installed at official Stellantis brand dealership locations across Europe by the end of 2024. The charging stations will be co-branded Free2move Charge, the comprehensive ecosystem fulfilling EV charging and energy needs, anywhere and in anyway, that embodies the e-ABC Promise: easy to Always Be Charged.
As the demand for fast and reliable public charging increases, Stellantis is expanding fast charging access to its EV customers, and all other EV drivers regardless of a brand, working together with two key partners: the Stellantis Dealer Network, which will provide the location sites, and select renowned Charge Point Operators (CPO), that will invest, develop, and operate the charging stations.
With priority on customer comfort and ease of charging, each site will be equipped with multiple fast charging stations, allowing retail networks to provide a seamless, best-in-class charging experience. Retailers will benefit from increased visibility and traffic, conquering new EV customers, while offering new services to their loyal ones. Stellantis brand EV customers will access preferential charging tariffs through the Free2move Charge Go App and can test and learn about public charging while discovering the EV ecosystem.
Ricardo Stamatti, Stellantis Senior Vice President of Global Charging & Energy said “This project represents a synergistic partnership between Free2move Charge Europe, led by Magdalena Jablonska, together with our world-class Europe Retail team, best-in-class dealer network, and key CPO partners, all united under one banner: meeting our customer’s needs in high powered charging. A four-pronged approach that will deliver a seamless, accessible, and valuable charging experience anywhere our customers need it.”
“The new fast charging stations in Stellantis network will integrate both the customers and Stellantis dealers into the same sustainable and virtuous journey,” said Danilo Annese, Head of Global Retail, Stellantis.
The Presidents of the European Dealer Associations of Stellantis brands, share in the approach and win-win strategy: “The program, operating on the basis of a third-party business model, will allow the identified dealers to enter the program without incurring investments, while attracting potential new EV customers by offering new added value services and thus becoming an important point of interest for the growing EV community.”
Expanding the charging infrastructure and providing electric mobility to all our customers is essential to accelerate Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, with targets of reaching a 100% passenger car BEV sales mix in Europe and 50% passenger car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in the United States by 2030. Stellantis is on track to become a carbon net zero corporation by 2038, all scopes included, with single-digit percentage compensation of remaining emissions.
