Maryland's Air Quality Challenge
Transportation accounts for the largest source of air pollution in Maryland. The I-95 corridor, Baltimore metro, and DC suburbs face elevated levels of ground-level ozone and particulate matter—directly linked to respiratory illness and cardiovascular disease.
- ✓ 8 Maryland counties fail to meet federal air quality standards for ozone
- ✓ Transportation produces 37% of Maryland's greenhouse gas emissions
- ✓ Children and elderly in urban areas face highest health risks
EV Infrastructure = Cleaner Air
The barrier to EV adoption isn't just vehicle cost—it's charging access. 40% of Americans live in multifamily housing without convenient charging. By deploying EV infrastructure at apartments, condos, and workplaces, we remove this barrier and accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation.
The math is simple: More chargers → More EV adoption → Fewer gas vehicles → Cleaner air for everyone.
- ⚡ Multifamily residents are 6x more likely to buy an EV if charging is available
- ⚡ Workplace charging increases EV adoption by 20% among employees
- ⚡ Visible chargers normalize EV ownership and inspire neighbors to switch
The Numbers Don't Lie
Peer-reviewed research and government data on EV environmental impact.
🌡️ Carbon Reduction
EVs produce 50-70% fewer lifecycle emissions than gas vehicles, even accounting for electricity generation and battery production.
🫁 Health Impact
Annual health cost savings per EV on the road, from reduced respiratory illness, ER visits, and lost workdays.
🏙️ Urban Air Quality
Projected improvement in urban air quality by 2035 if Maryland meets its ZEV adoption goals.
⛽ Fuel Savings
Average annual fuel savings per EV owner compared to gasoline vehicles at current prices.
🔋 Grid Impact
Of EV charging happens at home or work during off-peak hours, utilizing existing grid capacity without strain.
🌿 Maryland Grid
Maryland's electricity grid is now 45% carbon-free (nuclear, solar, wind), and improving every year.
Building Maryland's Clean Transportation Future
We believe clean air shouldn't be a privilege. Every Maryland resident—whether in Baltimore City, the Eastern Shore, or the DC suburbs—deserves to breathe clean air.
Smart Property Innovation exists to accelerate EV adoption by making charging infrastructure accessible where people live and work. We partner with property managers, HOAs, and commercial property owners to deploy charging solutions that benefit residents, improve property values, and contribute to Maryland's clean energy goals.
Make Your Property Part of the Solution
Every charging station you install helps one more Marylander make the switch to electric—and contributes to cleaner air for all of us.
