New Jersey auto dealers are eligible for grants from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to purchase and install electric vehicle charging stations. The program, It Pay$ to Plug In, is one of the ways the NJDEP is utilizing the funds the State received as part of the Volkswagen emission settlement.

It Pay$ to Plug In is designed to expand New Jersey’s network of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and address one of the biggest obstacles to greater EV adoption. The Program will reimburse up to $750 for each Level 1 charging station, $5,000 for each single-port Level 2 charger and $6,000 for each dual-port Level 2 charging station.
