28 EV Charging Stations Being Installed Across Baltimore County

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — More than two dozen electric vehicle charging stations will be installed on public sites across Baltimore. These charging stations are being installed at no cost to Baltimore County government. In the fall of 2019, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company launched the EVsmart Program Public Charging Network, a partnership between BGE and state and local governments to expand access to EV charging stations across central Maryland.

“Expanding access to EV chargers in public locations across Baltimore County will be essential in supporting our long-term efforts to increase the number electric vehicles on our roads, reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and help continue to combat climate change in our communities,” Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski said in a news release. “This project is a great example of a public-private partnership that will support sustainable solutions and enhance our future-focused infrastructure.”

Through this program, 28 EV charging stations are currently being installed at the following locations:

• Essex Park & Ride (active)
• Randallstown Community Center (active)
• Meadowood Regional Park (active)
• Sollers Multi-Purpose Center (active)
• Carney Park & Ride (active)
• Cockeysville Library (planned)
• Honeygo Regional Park (planned)
• Drumcastle Government Center (planned)

These stations give drivers the option to charge vehicles at BGE-owned Level 2 smart chargers or DC fast chargers. To date, BGE has installed 113 chargers across its central-Maryland service area, including 17 in Baltimore County. All 28 Baltimore County chargers are expected to be completed by April 2021 and all 500 chargers planned for the BGE EVsmart Program are expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
