Additional Incentives for Purchasing Low Emission Vehicles

New Jersey's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Sales Tax Exemption
Legislation enacted in New Jersey in January, 2004 provides a sales tax exemption for zero emission vehicles (ZEVs), which are battery-powered or fuel-cell powered vehicles certified pursuant to the California Air Resources Board zero emission standards for the model year.

The exemption is applicable to the sale, rental or lease of a new or used ZEV on and after May 1, 2004.
For more information, please see the New Jersey Department of Treasury's site.

New Jersey's Clean Fuel Vehicle Rebates for Local Governments, State Colleges and Boards of Education
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) offers rebates to local and county governments, State colleges and universities and Boards of Education for the purchase of certain alternatively fueled vehicles.

Federal Income Tax Deduction for Purchase of Hybrid-Electric Vehicles
If you buy a hybrid-electric vehicle new, such as a Ford Escape Hybrid, Honda Accord Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Insight or Toyota Prius (other models may be added in future updates) you may be eligible for a one-time federal income tax deduction of up to $2,000.

Eligible vehicles may be eligible for a "clean fuel" deduction of $2,000 for those placed in service by the end of 2005.

Please Note: New federal legislation has changed the tax incentives for hybrid vehicles. Hybrids placed in service by December 31, 2005 are still eligible for the tax incentives described on this page.

Hybrids placed in service after this date will no longer be eligible for these deductions but may be eligible for a federal income tax credit under new legislation; the amount will depend upon the vehicle's fuel economy, estimated fuel savings, and other factors.
