"End Tesla Exception Act"; repeals statute permitting Tesla and other zero emission vehicle manufacturers to sell vehicles directly to consumers.
This bill repeals a law that allowed Tesla and other zero-emission vehicle manufacturers to sell cars directly to consumers in New Jersey, requiring them to use traditional dealerships instead. It amends vehicle sales regulations to remove an exception permitting direct sales, meaning EV manufacturers would need to obtain standard dealer licenses to sell vehicles. The change would directly affect Tesla and similar companies currently operating under the direct-sales exception in New Jersey. The policy shift aims to align zero-emission vehicle sales with standard dealership requirements used for other vehicle types.
