Current Projects
Partnership
Creating an EV EcosystemMid-Atlantic Electrification Partnership
This project will create a regional electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and West Virginia. The ecosystem project will connect the Mid-Atlantic Region’s cities, employing multiple EV and infrastructure sub-projects, including multimodal hubs, such as airports, seaports and logistics centers. It will also address educational, planning and equity issues of populations near these hubs. Starting in 2020, the project will run through 2023.
Mass Transit
Bridging the Gap between Clean Fuels and Public TransportationDC Circulator Bus System
The Electric Circulator Bus project is a pilot run by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT). Between 2015 and 2018 the Circulator fleet upgraded to all new buses including state-of-the-art 100% electric vehicles. In 2018 DDOT implemented major changes to better align limited resources while providing transit access to growing activity centers.
This is an ongoing project with additional buses approved for 2021.
Support
Establishing EV Infrastructure to Fit Community NeedsBWI Airport new electric vehicle charging stations
Maryland transportation leaders and BGE officials today unveiled new fast-charging electric vehicle charging stations at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The four new state-of-the-art, 150kW DCFC charging stations at BWI Marshall Airport provide up to an 80% charge in as little as 15 minutes. The fast chargers are the first of the speed and capacity that BGE is installing in Maryland.
Community
Planing for the Future through Education and CollaborationMid-Atlantic Electric School Bus Experience Project (MEEP)
MEEP will provide schools with an introduction to electric school bus technology. The project is supported in large part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and will provide a wide range of stakeholders with needed information about electric school buses and provide findings that can be used by both participating school districts and others to make intelligent decisions about incorporating advanced fuel technologies into their fleets.
