NJDEP Approves EZ Ride Application for Electric Vehicle Charging Grant

As part of our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, EZ Ride is pleased to announce that our application for the “It Pays to Plug In” grant has been approved. This grant will support the installation of 20 electric vehicle (EV) charging units, facilitating the transition of our shuttle fleet from gas-powered to battery-electric vehicles.

The approved charging infrastructure includes twenty 80 Amp Level 2 units, which will be instrumental in powering our future EV fleet. EZ Ride plans to utilize Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) from Leviton, an American manufacturer of electrical wiring equipment in North America, networked by AmpUp, a brand-agnostic provider. AmpUp’s technology allows for remote control and power load management, ensuring the seamless operation of our charging network.

By investing in an electric vehicle fleet and collaborating with NJDEP on this initiative, EZ Ride demonstrates our commitment to sustainability in both word and action. Soon, our new electric shuttles will continue to provide the reliable service our riders depend on, while significantly reducing our environmental impact. Together, we are driving towards a cleaner, greener New Jersey.
