The project provides electric vehicle owners
with widespread access to DC fast charging.
To address the need for more electric vehicle (EV) charging
options, Tritium partnered with Greenlots and Baltimore Gas and
Electric (BGE) on a series of charging locations throughout Central
Maryland. The first phase includes 12 sites with Tritium RT50
direct current (DC) fast chargers which have been installed at
libraries, government parking lots, airports, and retail centers,
with eight more charging destinations planned in the coming months.
Greenlots, a member of the Shell Group, is providing installation
and networking services to these BGE locations throughout the
region.

"Not only will these installations encourage Baltimore-area
drivers to consider purchasing electric vehicles by reducing range
anxiety, but they will also help Maryland reach its goal of having
300,000 zero-emissions vehicles on the road by 2025," said Divesh
Gupta, Baltimore Gas and Electric Director of Strategy.
"Implementing this technology supports our purpose of powering a
cleaner and brighter future for our customers and communities."
BGE launched an EV charging network in Maryland in the fall of
2019. As the charging network continues to roll out, EV drivers
will have the option to charge their vehicles at any of the 100
BGE-owned DC fast charger sites throughout the BGE service area.
BGE's charging rates are comparable to other public charging
options and give drivers the flexibility and peace of mind to drive
farther than ever before.
"We strive to connect communities by unlocking EV charging
solutions to power the transition to electric mobility," said Matt
Androski, Chief Commercial Officer at Greenlots. "By working with
BGE and Tritium, we are making electric vehicle infrastructure more
accessible."
With more than 2.7 million high-power charging sessions across
41 countries, delivering over 55 GWh of energy, Tritium is a global
leader in EV charging innovation. The company developed the world’s
only fully liquid-cooled, IP65-rated charger, providing customers
with technology that is ingress-protected and sealed from outside
elements, thus reducing the total cost of ownership. Tritium was
also one of the first companies to enable Plug and Charge
technology, allowing an EV that supports Plug and Charge to
communicate seamlessly and authorize payments directly from the
driver's account without needing a payment card or RFID tag.
As EV ownership expands across the world, installations like
BGE’s charging sites are an essential part of easing range anxiety
with drivers.
"We applaud BGE for their investment in EV infrastructure.
Maryland is part of a critical interstate corridor for both
residents and travelers and having access to charging options near
both highways and suburban areas is vital to continued
electrification," said Mike Calise, President of Americas at
Tritium. "Through this partnership, we are building an ecosystem
that supports the widespread transition to electric mobility by
making it easier for more Marylanders to access fast chargers."
