To celebrate, we’re offering special promotion pricing: $0.35 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) via the Applegreen Electric app, and $0.40 per kWh for Tap & Go users,” Applegreen said in the post. The company added that by the end of 2026, it is “on track to achieve 100% EV charging coverage across all New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway service areas.”
