The Maryland Energy Administration intends to issue up to $11 million in grant money to bolster access to electric vehicle charging networks, the agency said in a Monday news release.

The new program, part of a $23 million commitment by Gov. Wes Moore’s administration to support electric vehicle charging infrastructure in low- and moderate-income communities in Maryland, will make at least $9 million available to businesses, nonprofits and local governments, according to a notice issued Monday.

That commitment is part of the state’s broader plan to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2031.

The funding can be used to offset the costs of planning electric vehicle supply installations, constructing charging stations within multifamily housing properties and for installing storage with charging for electric bikes and scooters, the notice says.

More specific details will become available in an early autumn funding announcement, the document says. In the meantime, the state is also seeking information from the public and from multifamily housing property ownership on electric vehicle infrastructure deployment.
