DC Fast Chargers at Wawa and QuickChek

Wawa and QuickChek are stepping up with DC fast charging at select locations. Look for stations along Route 17, Route 3, and I-80. These chargers can add 60–80 miles of range in about 20 minutes, perfect for a quick recharge during a lunch break or coffee run. Use apps like PlugShare or Toyota’s in-dash navigation to pinpoint the nearest location while on the go. 

Level 2 Chargers in Municipal Lots and Parks

Many towns in Bergen, Passaic, and Essex counties offer public Level 2 chargers in municipal parking lots, libraries, and public parks. Examples include downtown Ridgewood, Montclair’s Bloomfield Avenue, and Glen Rock Borough Hall. These chargers add roughly 25 miles of range per hour, ideal for plug-in hybrids or mid-length stops. Parking is often free while you charge—check local signage. Great for errands or weekend events.

ChargePoint and EVgo Stations in Urban Hotspots

ChargePoint and EVgo stations are common in denser North Jersey towns like Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark. Use the app to find real-time availability, check pricing, and even schedule charging. Most of these stations offer Level 2 charging, but some EVgo locations also support DC fast charging. Toyota EV drivers can often access discounted rates through network promotions—ask us how to enroll.

Electrify America Hubs on the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway

Electrify America is ideal for Toyota bZ4X owners needing rapid charging. Find stations at Turnpike rest stops like Clara Barton and Joyce Kilmer or Parkway stops like Cheesequake. These high-powered DC fast chargers can bring your battery up to 80% in about 30 minutes. Great for road trips or regional travel!

Office Charging in Business Districts

Workplace charging is growing in New Jersey’s business hubs. Offices in areas like Secaucus, Parsippany, and the Meadowlands often include Level 2 chargers in employee parking lots. If your workplace offers this perk, it’s one of the easiest ways to top off your Toyota EV or plug-in hybrid during the day. Ask your HR or facilities manager if EV charging benefits are available—some employers even cover electricity costs.

Install a Level 2 Charger at Home

For daily convenience, install a Level 2 charger at home through a licensed electrician. This setup powers your Toyota EV or plug-in hybrid up to 6x faster than a standard outlet. It’s ideal for overnight charging and long-term battery care, and rebates may be available through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program. Learn about available rebates and federal tax credits—East Coast Toyota can help walk you through the application process.
