Rockville’s Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan goes to the Mayor and Council for final adoption this month. 

The Mayor and Council reviewed the plan during a work session on Feb. 24 and are scheduled to vote on the plan on Monday, March 24. Find video of the work session and a staff reports for both meetings at www.rockvillemd.gov/AgendaCenter

The plan contains 26 actions in four categories to help support the transition from combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles for City of Rockville residents, businesses and visitors. It identifies how the city can work with county, state and federal programs toward rapid adoption of electric vehicles, identifying where EV chargers are needed and recommending actions to support equitable charging access amid a growing demand. That includes identifying policy and permitting needs communicating the benefits and incentives available, installing grant-funded public chargers and converting fleet vehicles.

Electric vehicles cost less to operate, produce no exhaust, improve air quality and health, and — according to drivers of EVs in the city’s fleet — are a delight to operate. The EV plan will also help Rockville achieve the goals of its Climate Action Plan. Learn more about the Climate Action Plan at www.rockvillemd.gov/climate
