Abstract
We evolve nonadiabatic charged spherical distributions of matter. Dissipation is described by the free-streaming approximation. We match a self-similar interior solution with the Reissner-Nordstr\"om-Vaidya exterior solution. The transport mechanism is decisive to the fate of the gravitational collapse. Almost a half of the total initial mass is radiated away. The transport mechanism determines the way in which the electric charge is redistributed.
