The transportation sector accounts for 46 percent of New Jersey’s net greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest single emissions source. The State’s electric vehicle (EV) programs are designed to encourage EV adoption, which is crucial to reaching the goal of a 100 percent clean energy future. Among them are:
-
Charge Up New Jersey, which promotes clean vehicle adoption by offering incentives for the purchase or lease of a new, eligible battery-electric vehicle or the purchase of an eligible EV charger;
-
Multi-Unit Dwelling EV Charger Incentive for multi-unit building owners who install EV charging equipment;
-
The EV Tourism Corridor Program that offers substantial incentives to businesses, hotels, attractions and other destinations along key travel routes that install Level 2 and DC fast EV chargers.;
-
The Clean Fleet EV and EV Charging Program offering incentives to local, state and nonprofit entities toward the purchase of electric vehicles and equipment for their fleet charging;
-
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative Medium- and Heavy-Duty EV Charging Program supports the purchase of eligible direct-current fast charger EV equipment.
