Electric Vehicles in Somerset County

New Jersey is rapidly expanding its electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, opening the door to a new, greener way to drive. Somerset County has jumped on board with their Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan, and municipalities around the state are installing EV public chargers and electrifying their fleets. But where do you start when making your own town electric vehicle friendly?

Join RideWise and the Somerset County Green Leadership Hub for this webinar on EVs in Somerset County for resources on how to encourage electric vehicles in your community. Our panelists from RideWise, ChargEVC and Somerset County Public Works will discuss EV initiatives in Somerset County, the state of EVs in New Jersey, and how to make your town EV friendly while earning points for Sustainable Jersey certification.
