This bill mandates the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) to erect and maintain highway exit signs that will help motorists identify, locate, and access electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The bill defines an electric vehicle as one that utilizes a battery or equivalent energy storage device that can be charged from an external electricity supply. It also specifies that the signs must comply with all relevant federal and state laws, as well as adhere to the design and placement guidelines outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways issued by the Federal Highway Administration.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage. By implementing these measures, the bill aims to enhance the infrastructure for electric vehicles, thereby promoting their use and supporting the transition to more sustainable transportation options.
