HANOVER, MD—The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) has greenlit another $9.6 million in federal funds to supercharge the state’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, awarding conditional grants for 12 new charging sites that will add dozens of high-speed ports along major highways.
The announcement marks the second round of funding under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program, a federal initiative aimed at building a seamless nationwide EV charging corridor.

Biddle. “These conditional awards ensure the state’s charging network is up and ready to accommodate the rising number of EVs across Maryland.”…
