LANHAM, Md. (DC News Now) -- More charging stations for electric vehicles could be coming to Prince George’s County after a bill passed its first phase through council. If the legislation becomes a reality, electric vehicle charging infrastructure would be installed at multifamily and commercial developments in parking lots at office buildings and apartment communities. The move has sparked some controversy among residents, despite council support. Councilmember Wala Blegay is happy about the recent progress on this bill and said it is the way of the future. New security system at 7-Eleven in Northwest DC causes headache for neighbors “The reality is that this is the future, this is where we are going. What Americans love most is convenience, and if someone has their car in an office parking lot...we want them to be able to get a charge so they don’t have to stop somewhere and put themselves at risk.” Blegay said. Sarah Price, who works for Maryland Retailers Alliance, expressed opposition to the proposal, calling it unnecessary. She said there is already enough EV infrastructure in place at other locations, such as gas stations. “We always appreciate wanting our involvement in these matters as a partner," Price said during the County Council meeting on the bill Tuesday. "But I don’t think that occurred during this process and based on the information I have we are still opposed." Blegay noted that Howard and Montgomery counties already passed similar legislation. The Prince George’s County Council is expected to vote again on the bill in two weeks.
