Three brand‑new electric vehicles have been added to the historic tram‑car line on the Wildwoods boardwalk this summer, expanding the fleet that carries visitors along the classic route. The introduction of the three electric units is intended to support the century‑old ride while cutting emissions, offering a modern complement to the wooden‑carried trams that have long defined the seaside attraction.
The Wildwoods boardwalk, a popular destination along New Jersey’s coast, has operated its tram‑car system for generations, providing a nostalgic experience for tourists and locals alike. By integrating electric vehicles into the existing service, the boardwalk aims to maintain the historic ambiance without sacrificing environmental responsibility. The new electric units will run alongside the traditional tram‑cars, allowing the line to handle increased summer traffic and ensure a smoother ride for the influx of visitors expected during the peak season.
Officials noted that the addition of the three electric vehicles represents a targeted summer enhancement designed to preserve the boardwalk’s heritage while embracing greener technology. The move aligns with broader efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of local attractions and offers a quieter, cleaner alternative to conventional fuel‑powered transport. As the boardwalk welcomes guests this summer, the combined fleet of historic tram‑cars and modern electric vehicles promises a unique blend of past and future for anyone strolling the shoreline.
