ELECTRIC CARS GET A CHARGE OUT OF HOWARD COUNTY

Is it as easy to charge your Prius as it is your iPhone? You must be in Howard County.

Since debuting its first electric car charging station in Columbia in 2011, the county has only increased its commitment to green energy — and its number of charging stations,
which now stands at 13.

The effort, according to Joshua Feldmark, the county’s director of environmental sustainability, is an indication of the county’s commitment to sustainability. Though often discussed “in lofty terms,” he says, “the work is very logistical.” Locals weren’t buying plug-in vehicles, he says, “because the infrastructure wasn’t there, and the infrastructure wasn’t there because people didn’t own the cars. We were able to break that cycle.”
Nearly 55,000 electric vehicles have been sold in the U.S. so far this year; Howard County’s efforts to fuel some of them will only help the area — and, ideally, the nation — move away from fossil fuels.
