New Jersey is adding to its efforts to cut medium- and heavy-duty vehicle emissions with plans to spend more than $300 million on two electric bus garages and to increase the use of clean cargo handling equipment at ports.

New Jersey last year put an additional 62,426 new EVs on the road, a 68% increase over 2022, which has prompted some advocates to suggest the state is in reach of its goal of having 330,000 EVs in the state by 2025.

Pennsylvania will use its $396.1 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grant on a statewide initiative to cut greenhouse gas emissions from industrial buildings through incentives for energy efficiency and emission-reduction technologies.

Vehicle-to-grid integration is about more than connecting electric vehicles to the grid, say reports from DOE and the Alliance for Automotive Innovation.

The shift in incentive strategy, toward low- and mid-income buyers, comes as New Jersey seeks to continue its recent relatively strong EV sales amid signs of weakening markets in other states.

About 20% of all vehicles sold worldwide this year will have a plug ― either battery electric or plug-in hybrid ― with sales predicted to rise to one-third by 2027.

California officials described how their agencies plan to address the shortage of skilled workers needed to support the state’s transition to zero-emission vehicles.
