The short version: The Envoy New Jersey EV Car Share Program brings electric car sharing to participating New Jersey properties: shared electric vehicles and a booking app for residents. The grant pays for the free charging infrastructure, installation and upgrades that car sharing needs to run, at no cost to the property. It is funded through the NJDEP Drive Green eMobility Grant Program and delivered by Envoy with LACI. Affordable housing, multifamily properties and hotels can submit their property info until December 15, 2026.

New Jersey Department of Environmental ProtectionFree. And You Keep It.
Electric car sharing cannot run without charging infrastructure, and that infrastructure and its installation are real capital expenditures. Through this grant, Envoy covers them for participating properties, and the property owner keeps the upgrades. They add to your property's value.
Installation
Envoy installs the charging stations on your property at no cost to you.
Upgrades
Installation upgrades that would otherwise come out of your capital budget are covered by the grant.
Infrastructure
Charging infrastructure stays with your property and adds to its value.

A Fully Managed Amenity
Participating properties offer shared electric vehicles to residents without buying cars or running a service. Envoy handles it from start to finish.
Vehicles and charging
Envoy supplies the electric vehicles and installs the dedicated charging stations on site.
Booking app
Residents reserve through the Envoy Mobility app, by the hour or by the day.
Daily operations
Insurance, maintenance, cleaning and data analytics are all handled by Envoy.
Seven-day support
Residents can reach customer support every day of the week.
A Car When You Need One
Walking, biking and transit cover a lot of daily travel. A shared electric vehicle right where you live covers the rest: a grocery run, a medical appointment, or a trip transit does not quite reach.
No need for vehicle ownership
Reserve a shared electric vehicle when you need one, without buying or maintaining a car.
Reserved for residents
At affordable housing sites, vehicles are dedicated to the people who live there.
A first drive in an EV
For many residents, this will be the first time behind the wheel of an electric vehicle.
