During the first half of 2023, EV sales accounted for 13% of new vehicle sales in New Jersey. This number is almost double the national average and illustrates the positive impact of various rebates and electrification programs available to New Jersey residents. Sales tax exemptions, grants, and utility rebates are only a few examples of programs shaping electrification in New Jersey. . Our latest blog post takes a closer look at these different incentives and explores how you can save on EV adoption and at-home charging in New Jersey https://shorturl.at/oqtB1 . . . . #EVs #ElectricVehicles #ElectricCars #EVAdoption #Electrification #EVIncentives #EnergyTransition #NewJersey #NewJerseyEVRebate #NewJerseyEVIncentives #FutureIsElectric #Qmerit

Subaru Solterra vs. Hyundai Ioniq 5 with the Cioccas… ‌ This is the best 3 minutes and 8 seconds of your day right here as Gregg Ciocca, Cole Ciocca and I traversed South Philly in search of a good cheesesteak. And in case you were wondering, I ordered an “American wit” and the brothers got a “wiz without” from Pat’s. Using Advanta-STAR Automotive Research’s head to head comparison of the 2024 Subaru Solterra vs. 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5, we were able to get a sneak peak of how each vehicle would perform in terms of Safety, Reliability, Engine, Brakes and Stopping, Suspension and Handling, Passenger Space, Ergonomics (and so much more!) For example, did you know that the Solterra's electric motors produces 47 more horsepower (215 vs. 168) than the Ioniq 5 Standard Range's standard electric motor? Yeah. Me either. Which is another reason why I’m convinced the Subaru Solterra is total sleeper in the EV market. If you’re looking for a simple way for your dealership sales staff to quickly reference which EV would be better suited for each customer, connect with Michael L. Champagne 🍾 for all the details. 👀 Because nothing compares to the look of panic in Cole’s eyes as Gregg was parallel parking the Solterra in front of Pat's King of Steaks ⚡️Many thanks once again to Ciocca Automotive and Advanta-STAR Automotive Research - The Premier Automotive Research Company in America for making this vlog possible! ‌ Ciocca Subaru of Philadelphia Ciocca Hyundai of Quakertown Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차) Subaru of America Bridget Hanrahan Spohn #EVsforEveryone #EVs #electricvehicles #Subaru #Hyundai

45 years later and this is still a sore subject… Auto Dealer Associations stand up for dealer and consumer rights every day. Don Hall from Virginia Automobile Dealers Association (VADA) shares how dealers across the state can band together to drive action through policy. Warranty work paid for by the OEM has been a sore subject for quite some time BUT how do we create better regulation? When dealers stand together, we can fight to create good business for all consumers in our local communities. 📺 See the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/gUQZEzXp How often do you get involved with your state or local auto dealer association? #asotu #asotucon #automotiveindustry #cardealership
