Our California friends Veloz have just launched Electric For All, a campaign designed to expose the public to EV’s. Enjoy watching ICE salesman Howard Kleiner as he tries to hook those last few customers….

Maryland Utilities authorized to install 909 L2 EVSE’s and DC chargers
Utilities in Maryland have been granted approval by the Maryland Public Utility Commission for ownership of 909 EVSE’s, to be installed at multi-family locations (i.e. apartments, condos) and workplaces. This is an order resulting from the “PC44” electric vehicle portion of Maryland’s Grid of the Future initiative.
See https://evadc.org/2018/03/11/petition-for-implementation-of-a-statewide-electric-vehicle-portfolio/
More details: https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/environment/bs-md-electric-vehicle-charging-stations-20190114-story.html
CORRECTION:
The approved number of chargers (primarily L2 with an amount of DC, unspecified except for Potomac Edison) is:
- BGE: 500
- Delmarva: 100
- Pepco: 250
- Potomac Edison: 50 L2, 9 DC
- Total 909
Further, “The Utilities are directed to locate public EV charging equipment only at property leased, owned, or occupied by a unit of State, county, or municipal government for public use and, to that end, the Utilities shall work with State, municipal and local government entities to determine the siting locations for these public EV chargers”
Thus, in order to meet the pressing need, clearly recognized by the PC44 EV Workgroup and the Commission, for multifamily and workplace charging, Utilities will hopefully explore State, county or municipally owned or leased multi-family and workplace sites.
Overcoming the inequity of incentives for electric vehicle ownership
Results are in from a rigorous survey of EV owners in Maryland done at Morgan State University. Note especially the suggestions at the end. EV’s have always offered a variety of “hooks”, usually grouped as energy security, environmental friendliness and low cost of operation. Actions like developing multi-family charging and offering incentives for used EV’s should spread EV use to a far broader segment of hardworking Maryland families, letting them drive at one-fourth the cost of a gas car, paying a fraction of a gas car maintenance bill, and enabling them to take advantage of the “EV Opportunity”.
