According to the Murphy administration today, the state reached a significant milestone, surpassing 200,000 electric vehicle registrations, which includes both battery electric and plug in hybrid cars.
That's more than double the number of electric vehicles registered in new Jersey two years ago, but it's still short of Governor Murphy's goal of getting 330,000 EVs on the road by next year, which is part of a larger plan to reach 100% clean energy by 2035.
That's to combat greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, according to federal data.
New Jersey has been close to the top in terms of states adopting cleaner car options, but lags other places in the country with building charging infrastructure.
