Yes, the state of
New Jersey
has a tax credit for
electric car
drivers. Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) drivers are exempt from the NJ sales tax; however, this does not apply to Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs).
According to the Department of Environmental Protection, the New Jersey ZEV exemption program entitles drivers to a 6.626% savings when renting, leasing, or selling new or used EVs. This sales tax exemption is only available for fully electric vehicles, not low emissions vehicles or even fully electric vehicle parts.
The state of New Jersey does offer other programs which apply to a wider range of electric vehicles such as the EV and PEV rebate programs or the HOV lane exemptions on certain state highways.
The
U.S. Department of Energy
makes a list of incentives and funding opportunities on the website.
