Final Report to Governor & General Assembly due June 30, 2026 (Chapter 378, Acts of 2015; Chapter 118, Acts of 2020).
In July 2011, the Maryland Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Council was authorized by the General Assembly (Chapters 400 & 401, Acts of 2011). In July 2019, it was renamed the Maryland Zero Emission Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Council (Chapter 213, Acts of 2019).
The Council charge was to formulate an action plan to successfully integrate electric vehicles into the State's transportation network. It developed recommendations to establish a statewide charging infrastructure, including public charging stations, multi-dwelling charging stations, a method for display of price for charging, and promotion of the use of clean energy sources for charging. The Council also was to promote local and regional use of electric vehicles, attract federal funding, and increase consumer interest in electric vehicles. Further, the Council worked to develop policies that support fleet purchases of electric vehicles, and recommended inducements to invest in and own electric vehicles.
On December 1, 2012, the Council submitted a final report to the Governor and General Assembly. The 2012 Final Report included an Action Plan to expand the adoption of Plug-In Electric Vehicles; an Infrastructure Plan to help guide the development of a statewide charging infrastructure network; and various policy and programmatic recommendations.
In 2013, the General Assembly extended authorization for the Council through June 30, 2015 and required additional reports (Chapters 65, Acts of 2013). The first of these newly mandated reports to the Governor and the General Assembly was submitted by the Council on January 1, 2014.
In 2015, the General Assembly re-authorized the Council through June 30, 2020 (Chapter 378, Acts of 2015) and, in March 2020, authorization again was extended to June 30, 2026.
