Comments to @MdAgDept on EV Charger registration fees and how it all went wrong. https://t.co/L2AH1PcMvT

Maryland officials committed to a formal public hearing before setting $150 annual EV charger fees. It never happened. Here is how it all went wrong. https://t.co/tB4F4sxCWS

[WMAR-2 News @WMAR2News]

Maryland's new $150 annual fee for EV charging ports has advocates worried it will slow progress toward the state's goal of 1 million electric vehicles by 2030.

Maryland's $150 annual EV charger registration: "Many hosts will run the numbers, see red ink, and simply rip out the equipment" https://t.co/tsdbGhhSiN

“In Maryland, at least four large charging plazas are under construction near highways. None rely on federal aid.” @politico

[EV Charging Task Force @chargetaskforce]

@bnkwupt @MdAgDept $150 every year for each charging port on your property that trades money for electricity.

🚨 DAY 58: BGE’s @BWI_Airport
Ride Sharing lot EV charging site REMAINS A DISGRACE! 2/6 DCFC units (dual-port CCS/CHAdeMO) STILL OUT OF ORDER, per SWTCH app—DOWN 58 DAYS since reported 9/15/25!
🚨 DISTURBING NEWS: At BWI, confirmed—Unit E1188 reported to SWTCH & under repair since 7/3/25 (132 DAYS DOWN, awaiting parts)! Maryland’s HB 834 97% uptime requirement is UTTERLY DESTROYED!

👉🏻 Q4 (42 days so far) FAILING: E1188 uptime 0% (down 42 days)!

Ride-share drivers, promised an EV future, are BETRAYED! @myBGE @swtchenergy @GovWesMoore @MarylandPSC @OpcMd @lyft @Uber

🚫 END THIS NOW! No more "fixes"—stop wasting ratepayers' money! @BWI_Airport & @MarylandPSC
it's time to TERMINATE BGE's involvement in EV charging! BGE is DESTROYING the reputation of emerging EV infrastructure! Let professionals deliver! #EVChargingFail #BGE #MarylandEV #MarylandBetrayed @MDEnergy

Is @HowardCountyMD enabling EV charging disasters? Despite BGE's abysmal track record—over HALF their Howard County plugs failing 97% uptime—council approved more at Elkridge Library! @MarylandPSC keeps failing Maryland drivers. Time for utilities to EXIT EV charging & stop wasting ratepayer $$?See BGE's "success":

First NEVI charging site in Maryland and half the ports are offline? $0.61/kWh @GM @evgonetwork @PilotFlyingJ @MarylandDOT @PlugandplayEV @tommolog @brandenflasch @mdvolt @TeslaMaryland @TheAverageEv @borkowskirobert @CutTheNozzle

🚨ALERT: Maryland's @MdAgDept
has introduced a $150/year per port registration fee for commercial EV chargers. This is impacting Level-2 stations in multi-unit dwellings, leading to concerns from HOAs and potentially slowing new installations or even removals of existing ones to avoid compliance issues. This could affect Maryland's EV adoption and sustainability efforts.
🚫No public input? Total transparency fail. Now they're scrambling with a virtual stakeholder meeting Oct 30. Register NOW & speak up via chat: https://t.co/U1mfqKWrig:

Gas pumps at $20/year (potential $3,600/hr revenue) vs.
EV DCFC at $150 ($42/hr) or
Level-2 ($3/hr).
Does this seem balanced for EVs?Share if this matters to you!
