a. There are established the following State goals for the use of plug-in electric

vehicles and the development of plug-in electric vehicle charging infrastructure in

the State to support that use: (1) at least 330,000 of the total number of registered light duty vehicles in the

State shall be plug-in electric vehicles by December 31, 2025; (2) at least 2 million of the total number of registered light duty vehicles in the

State shall be plug-in electric vehicles by December 31, 2035; (3) at least 85 percent of all new light duty vehicles sold or leased in the State

shall be plug-in electric vehicles by December 31, 2040; (4)(a) By December 31, 2025, at least 400 DC Fast Chargers shall be available for

pursuant to any strategic mapping of plug-in electric vehicle charging infrastructure

the department conducts; (5) By December 31, 2025, at least 1,000 Level Two chargers shall be available for

public use across the State, and after initial installation, those EVSE may be upgraded

to higher power or DC Fast Chargers as appropriate by the owner or operator of the

EVSE; and (6)(a) By December 31, 2025, at least 15 percent of all multi-family residential properties

in the State shall be equipped with EVSE for the routine charging of plug-in electric

vehicles by residents through a combination of Level One EVSE, Level Two EVSE, or

charger ready parking spaces, which collectively shall serve a percentage of resident

parking spaces equal to the percentage of light duty vehicles registered in the State

that are plug-in electric vehicles at the end of the preceding calendar year, or the

percentage of vehicles owned by residents that are plug-in electric vehicles, whichever

is higher, and (b) by December 31, 2030, 30 percent of all multi-family properties

shall be equipped for electric vehicle charging as described in subparagraph (a) of

this paragraph; (7)(a) By December 31, 2025, 20 percent of all franchised overnight lodging establishments

shall be equipped with EVSE for routine electric vehicle charging by guests of the

establishment by providing Level Two EVSE, which collectively shall serve a percentage

of the guest parking spaces equal to the percentage of light duty vehicles registered

year, and (b) by December 31, 2030, 50 percent of all franchised overnight lodging

establishments shall be equipped with EVSE as described in subparagraph (a) of this

paragraph; (8)(a) By December 31, 2025, at least 25 percent of State-owned non-emergency light

thereafter, 100 percent of State-owned non-emergency light duty vehicles shall be

plug-in electric vehicles; (9)(a) By December 31, 2024, at least 10 percent of the new bus purchases made by

of zero emission bus purchases shall increase to 50 percent by December 31, 2026,

and 100 percent by December 31, 2032 and thereafter. Zero emission buses shall not produce any emissions at the tailpipe, and shall be

prioritized for low-income, urban, or environmental justice communities; and (10) By December 31, 2020, the department, in consultation with the board, shall establish

other goals for vehicle electrification and infrastructure development that address

medium-duty and heavy-duty on-road diesel vehicles and associated charging infrastructure,

similar to the State goals for light duty vehicles and consistent with the technology

and plug-in electric vehicle markets for those vehicle types. b. The board and the department may, pursuant to P.L.2019, c. 362 ( C.48:25-1 et al.) and any other existing statutory authority, adopt policies and programs to
