New Jersey Department of Transportation must conduct a study within six months examining every public highway's ability to handle the additional weight of electric vehicles, including plug-in hybrids

The study must determine how long each highway can accommodate heavier EVs, provide improvement recommendations, and create a ranked list of highways from least to most capable

DOT must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within six months after completing the study

Highway projects addressing roads unable to accommodate EV weight must be prioritized in the Annual Transportation Capital Program

Project sponsors receiving funding under the Annual Transportation Capital Program must certify their project will enable the highway to accommodate the additional weight of electric vehicles before completion
