Electric Vehicle Car Show and Ride & Drive

The New Jersey Electric Vehicle Association (NJEVA) is partnering with the Trenton Computer Festival (TCF) by bringing dozens of different electric vehicle models on Saturday, March 18th 2023 at The College of New Jersey. Please join us and check out some of the latest as well as older models and chat with their owners to get first hand experience of electric drive. NJEVA is one of about 100 chapters of the National EVA, a grass roots organization with a mission to accelerate the adoption of EVs by education and demonstration. The NJEVA was awarded the Chapter of the Year 2022 for our record breaking outreach in NJ communities.

We will be also joined the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), who will be offering ride and drives through local car dealers, giving attendees the opportunity to test drive an EV for themselves. DEP staff will be available to answer questions about EVs and available incentives.

New Jersey has some of the best EV incentives in the country, with thousands available in rebates, tax credits, and utility incentives. In addition to the Charge Up New Jersey rebate, which provides up to $4,000 off the purchase of a new EV, and the NJ state sales tax exemption, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 when you purchase an electric vehicle. From cost savings and performance, to sustainability and the fun factor, electric vehicles check all the boxes. Everyone is welcome to join us – Come see why making the switch could be right for you!
