Looking for incentives to buy an electric vehicle? Check out programs just for this on the website of the NJ Board of Public Utilities (BPU). Per its intro:
New Jersey is leading the way on electric vehicle (EV) adoption on the East Coast. Governor Phil Murphy has set a goal of registering 330,000 EVs in New Jersey by 2025, which will reduce emissions from the transportation sector and help reach the goals of New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan and the Global Warming Response Act. The transportation sector accounts for 46% of the state’s net greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest emissions source.
Multiple EV programs are listed on the website linked here and further defined, including those for both individuals and households as well as for landlords, large and small, and other businesses and municipalities.
These programs include the Charge Up Residential Charger Program that offers a $250 rebate for the purchase of an eligible charger for your home. Be sure to check it out!
