Maryland’s EV Charging Gap | Baltimore News

Back in 2014, electric car owners like Lynn Parsons had to plan every mile—she even knocked on a stranger’s door for a generator charge. Today, Maryland boasts nearly 1,700 public chargers for over 150,000 EVs, with vehicles going three times farther on a single charge. But progress isn’t equal: half the state’s ZIP codes have zero chargers, and a quarter of those with any have fewer than four ports. Apartment dwellers and renters are especially stuck without home charging options. Officials are pushing back—with federal funds for highway chargers and new laws treating apartment EV installs like home improvements. Yet, since most charging still happens at home, uneven access threatens Maryland’s goal of one million EV drivers by 2030.
