JPS Set to ‘Start Charge’ with Charge ‘n Go Expansion

Nick Lue of Skunk Nation joins campaign to drive awareness as JPS powers up at the Jamaica Auto Show

Kingston, Jamaica – Thursday, May 15, 2025:The Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) is stepping up its efforts to transform mobility in Jamaica with the expanded rollout of its Charge ‘n Go network—already the most widespread public EV charging solution in the country. With 39 charging points already in operation islandwide, JPS is now moving full speed ahead, launching a strategic expansion campaign that will see exponential growth of the network through partnerships with automotive dealers, residential developers, strata corporations and commercial property owners. 

The new campaign, entitled ‘Start Charge’, officially launched at the 2025 Jamaica Auto Show, where JPS was the title sponsor. The company will spotlight the real-world cost savings that EVs offer for everyday Jamaicans. Charging with Charge ‘n Go is significantly more affordable than fueling a petrol or diesel vehicle, offering potential savings of 30 to 50%, depending on your vehicle type and usage. 

“Jamaica’s EV transformation isn’t a distant dream—it’s happening now,” said Dionne Nugent, Director of Customer Energy Solutions at JPS. “We’re expanding our Charge ‘n Go network to meet the growing demand for electric mobility and to help Jamaicans—from drivers to developers to fleet operators—make the switch. This is your sign to ‘Start Charge’.” 

The Charge ‘n Go network has already begun its expansion to commercial complexes, retail centres, and fleet operators, providing smart, scalable charging solutions. This is a part of JPS’s broader strategy to support Jamaica’s clean energy transition, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance national energy resilience. 

To raise public awareness, JPS has partnered with Nick Lue, founder of Skunk Nation. Lue has joined the campaign to help educate Jamaicans about the practical, financial, and environmental benefits of EV adoption. 

“We’re not just driving EVs—we’re driving change,” said Lue. “With JPS leading the charge on infrastructure, my role is to break the myths, show the performance, and prove that EVs make sense for how Jamaicans live and move.” 

Nugent underscored that JPS is committed to leading the charge in electric mobility, not just by providing infrastructure, but by helping Jamaica reimagine transportation itself. 

“JPS isn’t just in the power business—we’re in the progress business,” she said. “Charge ‘n Go is our way of giving Jamaica the infrastructure and inspiration to lead the region in clean transportation. This is about the future of our economy, our environment, and how we connect as a nation.” 

Businesses, developers and property managers interested in exploring EV charging partnerships can contact JPS for customised solutions to fit their location and energy needs. The expansion of Charge ‘n Go marks a pivotal step in Jamaica’s journey toward a cleaner, more connected future, powered by people, passion, and purpose.
