Frequently Asked Questions

Costs vary based on your property's electrical capacity, number of chargers, and charging level. Level 2 chargers typically range from $3,000-$15,000 per port including installation. However, with current Maryland incentives, you can often cover 60-70% of the total cost through federal tax credits, state rebates, and utility programs. Our free assessment will give you a detailed cost breakdown specific to your property.

Maryland properties can stack multiple incentives: the Federal 30C tax credit (30% of costs, up to $100,000), Maryland EVSE Rebate Program ($700 per port), and utility-specific programs like BGE Multifamily ($7,500 per charger) or Pepco EVsmart. The Maryland Energy Administration also offers grants up to $5,000 per port. Visit our Incentives page to calculate your potential savings.

A typical project takes 6-12 weeks from initial assessment to operational chargers. This includes site evaluation, electrical assessment, permit applications, incentive applications, equipment ordering, and installation. Simpler projects may be faster; complex multi-building installations may take longer. We'll provide a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Level 2 chargers (240V) add 15-30 miles of range per hour and are ideal for places where vehicles park for several hours—apartments, workplaces, hotels. They cost less to install and operate.

DC Fast Chargers (480V+) can add 100+ miles in 20-30 minutes but require significant electrical infrastructure and cost 3-5x more to install. They're better suited for highway stops and commercial locations with high turnover.

Most properties can accommodate EV chargers with proper planning. Our assessment includes an electrical capacity evaluation. If upgrades are needed, modern "smart" chargers with load management can often reduce or eliminate the need for costly electrical panel upgrades by intelligently distributing power across chargers.

Most networked chargers offer multiple payment options: mobile app payments, RFID cards, or credit card readers. You can set your own pricing (per kWh, per hour, or flat rate) and the network handles billing and payment processing. Some properties include charging as an amenity; others charge a small premium to generate revenue.

Our initial consultation and property assessment are completely free with no obligation. If you proceed, our fee structure varies based on project scope—typically a small percentage of project cost or a flat advisory fee. We're transparent about our fees upfront, and in most cases, the incentive savings we help you capture far exceed our fee.

No—we're advisors and project coordinators, not installers. We work with a network of vetted, licensed electrical contractors across Maryland who specialize in EV charging installations. This allows us to recommend the best installer for your specific project without bias toward any particular equipment brand.

We serve all of Maryland, with particular expertise in the Baltimore metro area, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and the I-95 corridor. Our installer network covers the entire state from Western Maryland to the Eastern Shore.
