New Jersey EVA, EZ Ride and NJ Clean Cities Coalition are pleased to offer the First Responder EV awareness course in New Jersey. This program is particularly suitable for firefighters and aims to increase awareness of EV-specific safety procedures for first responders deployed to a scene involving electric vehicle collisions. The program comprises one hour of in-class presentation at 7 PM followed by 1 hr of EV show, which covers hands-on inspections of various plug-in electric vehicles using the First Responder Guide.

We call for EV volunteers to bring their vehicles and show them to the first responders:
- Let them find the safety disconnect.
- Share your positive EV driving experience.
- Explain how much you save vs. a gas car.
- Highlight how many electric miles you driven.

By registering at this portal, you commit to the EV show portion only. If you are interested in attending the entire session, please mention it in the comments and arrive 6:50 PM to sign the paperwork.

A modest dinner (e.g. pizza and beverages) will be provided to all who bring their EV and register by 3/22/2026. Late registrations are not honored.

For effective planning, we are asking EV owners to register by March 22, 2026. By registering early, we can get food for everyone. And, as we get closer to the event, more details will be sent to registered people. You don't want to miss it.
