ALEXANDRIA, Va.—This week, Volta Industries Inc., announced that it has reached a joint milestone of 100 brand-sponsored, complimentary charging stations located in prime locations across Maryland.
In partnership with the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) and Giant Food, along with local attractions such as the Mall of Columbia and Inner Harbor in Baltimore, there are now 100 sponsored Volta Charging stations available to Maryland EV drivers. Volta Charging equipment incorporates marketing messaging on the charging station’s screens to allow the public to utilize the chargers at no cost.
This milestone in Maryland illustrates how state and local governments can successfully work with private entities to support the networked charging infrastructure necessary to enable the growing adoption of EVs. Volta Charging received financial assistance for 64 chargers at 22 locations throughout the state and counting via MEA's Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Rebate Program, which has helped incentivize the deployment of more than 5,000 residential and commercial charging stations across the state since 2014.
“This public-private partnership with Volta Charging and Giant is yet another testament to Maryland's standing as a national leader in transportation electrification,” stated Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. “Expanding access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure is critical to achieving both our emissions reduction and EV deployment goals, while serving the needs of Marylanders and visitors alike.”
