The landscape of electric vehicles (EVs) in New Jersey is evolving rapidly. As of June 2024, there were 183,945 electric vehicles registered across the state. This figure includes both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). The largest concentrations of EVs are found in Bergen and Middlesex counties, with more than 26,800 and 22,800 vehicles, respectively.

Despite these encouraging numbers, the market share of EVs as a percentage of new vehicle sales saw a slight decline, dropping from 12.2% in 2023 to 11.6% in 2024. While the affordability and range of EVs have improved significantly, challenges such as declining resale values and the high costs of repairs and insurance remain a concern for potential buyers.

Emphasizing Workplace Charging Infrastructure

As we navigate these developments, it’s crucial to underscore the pivotal role of workplace charging infrastructure in fostering EV adoption. Access to convenient and reliable charging solutions is a major factor influencing consumer willingness to transition to electric vehicles. Investing in workplace charging facilities is essential to facilitate widespread adoption and support the transition towards sustainable transportation.

Evalcertification.org and Charge@Work are leading the charge in promoting workplace charging initiatives. They offer a suite of resources designed to assist organizations in integrating electric vehicle charging into their operations.
