NJ Low Emission Vehicle Program

In addition to the benefits of electric vehicles, consumers have greener choices among more conventional vehicle purchases due to the requirement that “California cars” (defined in the California Advanced Clean Car Regulations) be sold in NJ.

California Advanced Clean Car Regulations

The California Low Emission Vehicle and Zero Emission Vehicle regulations were effective in New Jersey starting in 2009.

Currently, the cleanest vehicles are electric vehicles (EVs) that are powered by fuel cell, battery, or a combination of battery and gasoline (i.e., plug-in hybrid). To learn more about the different kinds of EVs and how they operate, visit our Electric Vehicle Basics webpage. As more people make informed decisions when selecting a new vehicle, all of us will breathe cleaner air.
