“The SJTA is excited about our partnership with EVgo and this
new charging station at Farley Travel Plaza will provide EV drivers
with convenient and reliable charging service while traveling along
the Atlantic City Expressway and support the state’s growing EV
registrations,” said SJTA Executive Director, Stephen F. Dougherty.
“Thanks to EVgo, drivers have an additional amenity to take
advantage of alongside the food, ATM, gift shop, picnic area, dog
walk and tourist information offerings currently available,” he
added.
Drivers who visit the Farley Service Plaza station can initiate
a charging session by using the EVgo app, EVgo program card or by
credit card. EV drivers who sign up for and use an EVgo account
will also unlock lower charging rates and earn EVgo Rewards™ points
after every charge, which can be redeemed for charging credit.
“EVgo recognizes that more convenient and reliable fast charging
on New Jersey roads means even more EV drivers can travel through
South Jersey with the SJTA,” said Jonathan Levy, Chief Commercial
Officer at EVgo. “These new EVgo fast charging stations on the
Atlantic City Expressway are a win-win-win: a key part of EVgo’s
continued growth, an integral piece of the state’s broader
electrification goals, and a clear benefit to drivers looking to
take advantage of the benefits of electric transportation.”
Built in collaboration with Nissan and funded in part by the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's It Pay$ to Plug In
program, this new fast charging station will add charging
infrastructure along a major corridor in South New Jersey. In 2020,
Governor Phil Murphy set a goal of registering 330,000 EVs in the
state by 2025 and more than 2 million by 2035. As of December 2021,
there were approximately 46,453 battery electric vehicles (BEVs)
registered in New Jersey, up 61% from 2020.1 The growing EV
adoption in the state warrants the fast deployment of charging
infrastructure.
EVgo’s public fast charging network in New Jersey boasts 54
charging stalls, 46 DC fast charging stalls and 8 L2 stalls. Six of
EVgo’s 17 locations in the state are within the New Jersey Turnpike
Authority’s territory which includes two of the busiest toll roads
in the U.S. – The New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State
Parkway.
