New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has signed a bill that represents the state’s most ambitious strategy to promote electric vehicles (EV).
New Jersey, where transportation accounts for about half of greenhouse gas emissions, joins about a dozen other states that have targets for electric-vehicle adoption. The bill calls for 2 million plug-in electric vehicles by 2035, and offer consumers rebates of as much as $5,000.
“We are expecting about 60% of total US new car sales to be electric by 2040,†said Nick Albanese, BloombergNEF’s head of Intelligent Mobility analysis.
