ChargEVC: Bringing a diverse and unified voice in support of programs and policies to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the State of New Jersey and beyond.
ChargEVC’s focus includes outreach and collaboration with policy makers to develop policies, including incentives, that address barriers to EV adoption,
and improve accessibility to EV charging infrastructure.
Widespread and accelerated adoption of EVs will yield significant benefits, enabled by the interplay between environmental impacts and efficient electric infrastructure use:
Dramatic reductions in CO2 and other emissions
Various consumer benefits resulting from unique EV characteristics
Improvements in utility reliability with the growing base of EVs and EV-chargers in the emerging “smart grid”
Increased investment in the distribution system by electric utilities to support EV charging
Direct ratepayer benefit from efficient and smart use of generation assets, including optimization of the load profile (how and when we use electricity) on the grid
A strategic diversification of the energy supply
With thoughtful and guiding policies, States are presented with an unprecedented opportunity to realize multiple benefits with a single initiative.
