What are the taxes applied to EV charging in Maryland?

The Maryland state sales tax on electricity is the tax that is applied to EV charging. SWTCH facilitates the delivery of the electricity and participates in the sales tax process.

SWTCH electric vehicle (EV) stations are required to collect all applicable taxes associated with EV charging services. Entities that believe they are exempt from these taxes should seek reimbursement during their tax filing process.

Additional details for EVsmart stations are available on the BGE FAQs page in the Tax section which provides guidance on how customers can go about obtaining a refund from the state of Maryland and the localities.
