EV Rebates in New Jersey (2026)
New Jersey runs Charge Up New Jersey — a $4,000 point-of-sale rebate for new EVs purchased from participating dealers — among the most generous state-level EV rebates in the country. Combined with the federal 30D credit ($7,500 POS), New Jersey buyers see up to $11,500 off a qualifying EV. New Jersey also offers a 100% sales-tax exemption on EVs (saving 6.625% on a typical $45,000 EV, or roughly $3,000) and EZ-Pass discounts on the Garden State Parkway and Turnpike. Charge Up NJ is famously fast-depleting — funds typically open in July and are exhausted by October, so timing matters.
