Station to station Murphy’s electric vehicle initiative is the right goal, but getting there might be harder than anticipated By: Alan P. Hilla Jr and Ryan Conklin April 5, 2021 12:01 am Gov. Phil Murphy and the state Legislature should be applauded for their efforts in facilitating the mass adoption of electric vehicles. According to NJ Clean Energy, non-electric automobiles, mass transit and utility vehicles account for 46% of the State’s net greenhouse gas emissions. If New Jersey can reach its goal of 330,000 registered electric vehicles by 2025, then the state could make significant gains in accomplishing the Governor’s goal of 100% clean energy by 2050. As of now, however, there are roughly 34,000 electric vehicles registered in New Jersey, so there is a long way to go.
