Congratulations to Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) for implementing workplace Electric Vehicle (EV) charging programs and achieving Electric Vehicle Adoption Leadership (EVAL) certification at 32 sites—the highest number for any employer in New Jersey. This remarkable accomplishment demonstrates PSE&G’s commitment to advancing clean energy and fostering sustainable transportation.

In 2024, a total of 122 worksites in New Jersey received EVAL certification. As the state’s oldest and largest investor-owned utility company, PSE&G employs approximately 12,500 individuals. Dawn Neville, PSE&G Manager of Electric Transportation, remarked, “Earning this national EVAL certification for workplace charging is an important recognition for us at PSE&G. It reflects our commitment to clean energy adoption and highlights the steps we’re taking to support EV-related charging solutions for our employees and our company. This certification also underscores our dedication to reducing the environmental impact across our worksites.”

The importance of workplace EV charging cannot be overstated. With approximately 10% of all new cars sold in the U.S. being electric, the demand for accessible charging infrastructure continues to rise. Statistics show that for every new public charging port installed, 38 new EVs are sold. To ensure seamless charging experiences, most areas aim for an ideal ratio of eight to twelve EVs per public charging port. According to the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, this will necessitate installing 451 new EV chargers every day through the end of 2030 to meet the rate of EV adoption.

Access to workplace charging is a critical component in meeting this growing demand. Beyond home charging, workplace charging ranks as the most preferred option for EV owners. For the 20% of Americans—and an even higher percentage of low- and moderate-income drivers—who live in buildings without access to off-street parking, workplace charging provides an essential solution, ensuring equitable opportunities for EV ownership and usage.

The EVAL certification program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and administered by Forth Mobility, a non-profit organization dedicated to electrifying transportation. EZ Ride proudly serves as the lead implementation partner for this program in New Jersey.

At EZ Ride, we are committed to advancing electric mobility. We offer a range of services, including toolkits to implement workplace charging, information about state and federal EV grants, educational resources, guidance for EV charging deployment at multi-unit dwellings, fleet electrification technical assistance, and First Responder EV Awareness programs.
