Governor Murphy emphasized that these measures, combined with existing investments in electric vehicle incentives and charging infrastructure,\u200d will provide \u2064cleaner car options while\u2064 maintaining affordability for New Jersey residents.<\/p>\n<p>DEP Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette also expressed support for the ban, highlighting its potential to reduce pollution and address climate change. \u200dHe emphasized that cleaner\u200b cars and\u2062 trucks will lead to cleaner air and improved public health \u200bfor future generations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">GAS CAR BAN: \u200cNew Jersey\u2063 will prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035.
