Maryland EV Driver Testimonials
Many EV owners are enthusiastic about the environmental benefits. Once people dive into the EV lifestyle, they quickly find out there are plenty of other reasons they do not miss their gas-powered cars. As automakers continue to roll out more EVs at a range of different prices and recharging becomes quicker and easier, EV ownership has never been more accessible.

We spoke to Christiaan Conover from Chesapeake Beach, MD. He loves his Rivian EV and the worry-free ownership experience!
Matthew and Stacie Tennyson from Mechanicsville, MD talked to us about their plug-in hybrid Chrysler Pacifica that they have owned for five years. The ability to use both electricity and gas allows them to travel near and far for a lot less!
Nissan LEAF
“The “tank,” is full every morning and I never go anywhere to fill up. It’s a practical, economical and fun to drive commuter. It can idle with AC for hours without using gasoline.”
Enrique Cobas, Bowie, MD
2021 Tesla Model Y
“EVs are superior vehicles when comes to acceleration and how they handle on turns. Solar panels on our house generate enough electricity per year to drive our EV 35,000 miles per year. Solar panels combined with EV let us be energy independent.”
Robert Borkowski, Ijamsville, MD
Mazda MX-30
“I love my EV, it is the perfect car for my commute around the DMV, including Baltimore and Richmond. I like to think I am contributing to something bigger than me, with my EV.”
Ramon Taylor, Waldorf, MD

“I love my EV because I don’t spend money on gas, there is no expensive services, and zero emissions.”
Kyle Raine, Germantown, MD
“My wife and I wanted to seriously reduce our commuting costs by switching to electric. We had our eye on a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) due to the flexibility of using both electricity and gas. With our car’s electric range, we can drop our son off at daycare, commute to work, and return home on a single charge.”
David Proctor, Cottage City, MD
“With less than twenty moving parts, it actually saved me money. So much so that I paid off my car last month; 16 months ahead!”
Percell Artis, Waldorf, MD
Toyota RAV4 Prime
“With 42mi/day EV range, we don’t use gas at all most weeks or even months. For longer road trips the ICE makes refueling fast and convenient. Also 0-60 in 5.5s in a ‘common’ SUV!”
Enrique Cobas, Bowie, MD
“I am able to utilize the electric charge when conducting 90% of my weekly needs. It allows me to do my part in reducing emissions which is important to me.”
John Mario Harley, Waldorf, MD
Chevrolet Volt
“I use very little gas. It is also fast, smooth and an enjoyable ride!”
Brian Sheldon, Middle River, MD
Our Mission
Maryland EV is an electric vehicle education and outreach resource serving Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic. Organized by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), Maryland Energy Administration (MEA), and Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), we enjoy key support from a broad coalition of clean cities supporters, including State agencies, local and county governments, utilities, universities, students and EV enthusiasts. Our collective purpose is to facilitate discussion, information exchange, education, business and economic development, and planning related to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and ZEV infrastructure in support of Maryland’s ZEV adoption and climate goals.
