Stellantis NV, owner of the Jeep and Ram brands, is setting up a business unit focused on electric-vehicle charging as it prepares to roll out new fully electric models in the US next year.
The unit, called Free2move Charge, will take a page from Tesla Inc.’s playbook by selling energy storage and charging equipment to plug-in owners and businesses. A smartphone app will offer route-planning and aggregate available charge points to simplify the search for a battery top up.
