Maryland aims for 100% electric vehicle (EV) sales for new passenger cars and light trucks by 2035. Since 2011, CGS's new analysis finds that the state has expanded its EV charging network to 1,396 locations as of June 2023, adding an average of 113 stations annually. Despite progress, addressing limited charging infrastructure availability for low- and moderate-income individuals, rural households, and people of color is crucial.
CGS's new analysis assesses the progress in developing an equitable and robust public electric vehicle (EV) charging network, showing the state’s significant progress in statewide expansion as it brought EV charging infrastructure over half a mile closer to diverse communities across counties. The analysis delves into charging accessibility across diverse demographics and areas, identifying gaps that hinder widespread EV adoption in Maryland as it strives to meet its 2035 EV targets.
