Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan

Help Rockville Get Ready for EVs!

The City of Rockville is developing the city's first Electric Vehicle (EV) Readiness Plan. Many residents and fleet managers already recognize the benefits of converting to electric fuel sources. Electric vehicles cost less to operate, produce no exhaust, improve air quality and health, and will help the city achieve our goals in the Climate Action Plan.

The EV Readiness Plan will help identify ways the city can work with county, state and federal programs to better facilitate a rapid adoption of electric vehicles and meet a growing demand for charging. By knowing how many, where, and what types of chargers are needed to serve residents, businesses, visitors, and city fleet, we will be well-prepared for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant opportunities for public charging. The plan will identify policy and permitting needs to make EV charger installation faster and meet growing demand. Importantly, the city seeks to ensure equitable access to charging for residents of multi-family dwelling units or who don't have access to a garage or driveway.


How Can You Help?

Rockville is seeking input from residents, property owners and employers. Submit your initial questions and ideas in the tabs below!

  1. View the slides for the Electric Vehicle Readiness Virtual Open House held December 8, 2022
  2. Map your preferred new charger locations (see map below)
  3. Take an EV Charging Survey - open through January 15, 2023


EV Readiness Plan Scope

What's included in the plan? With assistance from a consultant, the project scope involves the following:


Electric Vehicle Charger Types

What types of chargers are needed? Typically, home chargers are Level One or Level Two, and public chargers are Level Two or DC Fast Chargers. The image below explains the difference.
