With a goal of registering 330,000 EVs in the state by 2025, New Jersey has more than 215,000 EVs on the road. The state gained momentum in 2023, adding about 62,500 vehicles for a 68% year-over year jump in sales.

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.

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.
