KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) is offering free electric vehicle charging at all JPS Charge ‘n Go stations islandwide on Emancipation Day, August 1, and Independence Day, August 6.

On both holidays, charging will be free from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm, giving electric vehicle (EV) owners 24 hours to power up at no cost, as they travel to celebrations, family gatherings and getaways across the island.

In a statement, JPS said the free-charging holiday offer is the latest expression of its ongoing support for electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
