Drive Green
In New Jersey, transportation is the number one source of greenhouse gas pollution. The 2023 ozone projection inventory reflects that cars and trucks account for about 21% of the manmade VOC plus oxides of nitrogen emissions in the air that contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone or “smog” during the summer months. Your choice to drive electric improves New Jersey’s air quality and helps slow climate change.
