Community Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Grant Program
Main_Content
Program Description: The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) is pleased to announce the Community Electric Vehile Supply Equipment (EVSE) Grant Program (Community EVSE Program or the Program) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. The purpose of the Program is to increase access to affordable and reliable electric vehicle (EV) charging networks and reduce transportation greenhouse gas emissions throughout Maryland, and especially in overburdened communities. The program stems from Governor Moore’s $90 million downpayment towards advancing the State’s Climate Plan in a just and equitable manner, including a $23 million investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure over 2 years.
The Program has two Areas of Interest (AOI). Eligible applicants may apply to one area of interest or both areas of interest.

1: EV Infrastructure Planning | Funds are provided to help local governments offset feasibility and planning study costs for future EVSE development.
