ChargEVC Opposes Nation-Leading Fee on Electric Vehicles
ChargEVC, a not-for-profit coalition of diverse stakeholders that includes retail automotive dealers, utilities, consumer and equity advocates, environmental and labor organizations and technology companies, announced its opposition to the punitive $250 fee proposed on electric vehicles included in legislation to update the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority Act.
“We’re not opposed to a fair fee for electric vehicles, but under this proposal, New Jersey would have the highest, most punitive EV fee in the nation,” said Doug O’Malley, President of ChargEVC-NJ. “As an environmental leader, that’s not a distinction that New Jersey should pursue. There’s still time to fix this and set a fair fee that reflects the lower environmental impact of electric vehicles.”
