The EVgo network boosts more than 850 public fast charging
locations and serves over 60 metropolitan areas across more than 30
states, including over 100 EVgo charging stalls across the state of
Maryland. Valley Park Commons is a regional shopping center located
within Hagerstown’s primary retail node. Hosted by Mosaic Realty
Partners, the center is next to the 900,000 square foot Valley Park
regional mall and approximately five minutes from the intersection
of I-81 and I-70, the two major thoroughfares connecting
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland.
Public EV fast charging stations are critical to helping the
state of Maryland reach its goals of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2045,
as outlined in the 2030 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act
Plan. The new Valley Park Commons charging station was primarily
built in partnership with Nissan and partially funded through
Maryland’s Electric Corridor Grant Program (ECGP), which was
administered by The Maryland Department of the Environment and the
Maryland Energy Administration. Funding for the program was
available through the VW Mitigation Program.
“EV charging and retail shopping go together like peanut butter
and jelly, and we know Maryland EV drivers are going to love the
combination of new EVgo stations at Valley Park Commons in
Hagerstown,” said Jonathan Levy, Chief Commercial Officer of EVgo.
“With great partners like Mosaic Realty, Nissan, and the State of
Maryland, EVgo continues to expand our network to enable more
drivers to go electric, including right here at this regional
shopping hotspot.”
“The electric vehicle charging station in Hagerstown, which will
charge four vehicles at a time, is a particular point of pride for
us because it is the first to be completed and operating as part of
our Electric Corridors Grant Program in Maryland," said Dr. Suzanne
Dorsey, Assistant Secretary of the Maryland Department of the
Environment. "Our partnership with EVgo has resulted in this
station and four other stations -- in Oxon Hill, Silver Spring,
Towson, and Halethorpe -- will be similar to this one."
A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at the Valley Park
Commons charging site today, April 25, at 10 a.m. ET, and feature a
lineup of local officials including Dr. Suzanne Dorsey, Assistant
Secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment; Dr. Mary
Beth Tung, Esq., Director of the Maryland Energy Administration;
Joey Chen, Senior Advisor to the Chairman of the Maryland Public
Service Commission; Courtney Galatioto, Chief of Staff and Vice
President of Strategic Partnerships at Smart Electric Power
Alliance; and Colin Murchie, Senior Director of Business
Development at EVgo.
