The Tesla Supercharger in McHenry Row in Baltimore, Maryland is about to get a companion with the addition of an Electrify America fast charger station. This new Electrify America station is being constructed adjacent to the existing Tesla Supercharger in the parking garage at 1641 Whetstone Way, Baltimore.
Location and Setup
The Electrify America station is located on the second floor of the East Parking garage in front of Harris Teeter in McHenry Row. It has four charging stalls and the equipment is manufactured by SK Signet. This will be a welcome addition to the charging landscape in Baltimore and will offer much needed charging for EV owners in the area.
Embracing Sustainability
The parking garage is equipped with solar panels on the top deck, thanks to the Maryland Energy Administration’s Parking Lot Solar PV Canopy with Electric Vehicle Charger Grant Program of 2014. These solar panels harness solar energy to feed back into the grid and indirectly help power the charging stations, underlining Maryland’s commitment to sustainable energy in concert with EV charging.
Additional Charging Options
In addition to the Electrify America fast charger station and Tesla Supercharger, there are other charging options available in this parking garage. On the ground floor, in the southeast corner, you’ll find two existing Level 2 charging stations. The northeast corner hosts one L2 charging port, and the second level’s northwest corner is home to several Blink, formerly SemaConnect, charging stations. This variety of DCFC and Level 2 charging options caters to the diverse needs of EV drivers.
Looking Ahead
The presence of both the Electrify America and Tesla Supercharger stations in this location is a positive development for the city’s EV community. With the EV landscape evolving, Baltimore residents can expect more convenient charging options as electric transportation continues to gain traction.
The introduction of the Electrify America fast charger station in the McHenry Row parking garage is a significant step toward expanding the city’s EV charging infrastructure. This addition, alongside the existing Tesla Supercharger and other charging options, enhances accessibility and convenience for EV owners. Baltimore’s EV enthusiasts can now look forward to more options for keeping their electric vehicles charged. Stay tuned for further developments in EV charging for Baltimore, Maryland and beyond.
