"Natural gas fueling station" means a fueling site that is capable of delivering, storing, and dispensing natural gas in any form for the purpose of filling natural gas vehicles at the rate of at least 400 gasoline gallon equivalents per hour. "Natural gas vehicle" means a motor vehicle either propelled solely by natural gas or by natural gas and gasoline or diesel fuel. “Plug-in electric motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle that is propelled to a significant extent by an electric motor which draws electricity from a battery that is capable of being recharged from an external source of electricity. b. The New Jersey Turnpike Authority shall provide, or arrange to be provided, natural gas fueling stations for natural gas vehicles, propane fueling stations for propane vehicles, and charging stations for plug-in electric motor vehicles at no fewer than four rest areas on the New Jersey Turnpike and no fewer than four rest areas on the Garden State Parkway. Such stations shall be geographically distributed in the northern, central, and southern portions of this State in such a way as to provide maximum refueling and recharging services throughout the State. c. If the New Jersey Turnpike Authority determines that it is unable to fully comply with the provisions of subsection b. of this section within three years of the effective date of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill), the New Jersey Turnpike Authority shall prepare a report detailing the reasons why the New Jersey Turnpike Authority was unable to fully comply.
