EVs offer much greater efficiency than other vehicles. They use only a fraction of the energy that other vehicles use, which means cost savings and less air pollution in our community. Now is a great time to consider a new or used EV with incentives from the state and federal governments, public utilities, and technologies that have dramatically extended the range and charging speed of EVs.
Actions you can take right now
If you already own an EV, including a Plug-in Hybrid:
- Visit PSEG’s EV Charging Program to see if you qualify for their off-peak charging credit, which may cut your charging costs in half!
- If you don’t use a hard-wired charger at home, PSEG’s program may fully cover installation costs for a new one.
- Charge-Up NJ offers up to $250 toward the charging equipment itself.
- You may also be eligible for up to a $1,000 credit on your federal taxes for installing a new charger.
- A new hard-wired charger can offer faster charging speeds and greater safety features.
If you don’t already own an EV, and are thinking about purchasing a vehicle:
