The Assembly Appropriations Committee will meet at 2 p.m. today to consider a 6-bill package to promote electric car sales and usage in New Jersey (A3647, A3648, A3649, A3650, A3651 and AR133).
“These bills are job creation and economic development measures, plain and simple,” said Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo (D-Hamilton), “If we send the message that New Jersey is welcoming toward electric vehicles, than we’ll see more sales and attract an entirely new industry that can bring new high-paying jobs for working class residents.”
The first two bills, A3651 and A3650, provide business tax credits and a gross income tax deduction for corporate purchase of electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles and installation of vehicle charging stations.
Two more, A3648 and A3647, require installation of electric vehicle charging stations at state toll road service areas and in certain newly developed shopping centers, respectively.
