EV Charging Cost in Maryland (2026)
Driving 12,000 miles a year on a typical EV (3.5 mi/kWh efficiency) costs about $761/year in Maryland— roughly $63/month — at the state's average residential rate of 22.2¢/kWh.
Maryland's EV Excise Tax Credit (up to $3,000 on a new EV under $50,000) remains in law through mid-2027 but its funding is fully depleted for FY2026, so 2026 buyers go on a waiting list with no guaranteed payout; a replacement point-of-sale Clean Vehicle Rebate is income-qualified and not yet launched, while the MEA EVSE home-charger rebate is also paused pending FY2027 funding.
