NJ ZIP Phase 2 Purchaser Application Walk-Through

Phase 2 of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s (NJEDA’s) New Jersey Zero Emission Incentive Program (NJ ZIP) provides funding to support electric vehicle purchases by eligible New Jersey businesses and organizations for commercial, industrial, or institutional purposes.

This phase of NJ ZIP implements two major eligibility changes: 1) opening the program to entities across New Jersey, not just in targeted areas of the state. 2) Expanding eligibility to include heavy-duty vehicle classes.

Additionally, Phase 2 applicants and all recipients will receive updated support structures. Though the general methodology for voucher application and approval from the first phase of the pilot will be maintained in the second phase, strategic implementation changes have been made to minimize friction and increase efficiency.
