ChargEVC-NJ Study: Electrification of New Jersey’s School Buses
This study explores the current landscape of school buses in New Jersey, estimates the economic and environmental impacts that come with full school bus electrification, and identifies the most crucial barriers to school bus electrification in the State, identifying specific pathways to address those issues and recommendations to make adoption feasible.
ChargEVC-NJ just released our update to the 2017 market development and high-impact initiatives roadmap. Roadmap 2.0 provides a comprehensive plan building off the recent successes in the light-duty sector and expands to actions that must be taken in the medium-/heavy-duty sectors.
ChargEVC-NJ STUDY: Full Market Vehicle Electrification in New Jersey
This new report takes a comprehensive look at light-, medium-, and heavy duty vehicle electrification with a number of high-impact findings including significant health benefits, rate payer savings, and improved air quality in heavily-polluted cities. Take a look at the full study:
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.
ChargEVC Opposes Nation-Leading Fee on Electric Vehicles

ChargEVC-NJ Releases Landmark Study on Electrifying New Jersey’s School Buses
TRENTON – In New Jersey, school buses transport over 800,000 of our children daily. The back of a school bus, filled with harmful health-impacting diesel emissions, is one of the most toxic places a child can spend time. A landmark study released today by ChargEVC-NJ provides key information and specific recommendations on how to accelerate […]
