Maryland Department of Transportation Kicks Off New Opportunity to Secure Funding for EV Charging Projects
Request for Proposals to Advance Efforts in Building Statewide Fast Charging Network Through NEVI Program
HANOVER, MD (March 17, 2026) - The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) today opened the third round of Maryland's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. The latest round requests proposals for up to nine additional electric vehicle (EV) fast charging projects along the state's major highways and routes designated as EV Alternative Fuel Corridors. Round three of the program will provide up to $10 million in federal formula funding to expand the statewide fast charging network.
"Through Maryland's NEVI Program, the state is moving to make powering up an EV as easy as fueling up a gas-powered vehicle," said Maryland Department of Transportation Acting Secretary Katie Thomson. "This is an exciting moment as Maryland helps meet the demand for wider access to sustainable EV charging across the state."
Interested parties are encouraged to submit a proposal no later than June 24 by visiting this link .
Maryland's NEVI Program is supported by $63 million in federal formula funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to expand the state's public charging network, along corridors with critical charging gaps. The first two rounds of NEVI funding awarded $19.1 million to 31 projects, for a total of 166 new Direct Current fast charging ports.
To date, Maryland has seven NEVI sites open to the public and conveniently located near major corridors in Anne Arundel, Cecil, Prince George's, Wicomico, Carroll, Garrett and Washington counties. To track the latest progress for current projects, visit our online map .
Maryland has more than 150,458 registered electric vehicles and 5,302 public Level 2 and fast charging ports, according to the latest data through the end of February.
