The first fully converted gas-to-electric refueling station for electric vehicles opened today in Takoma Park, Maryland.
Like any new business, as the first of its kind in the US, owner Depeswar Doley is fully aware that it's a gamble that may not pay off.However, it was his daughter that convinced him to take the plunge.Doley, who owns RS Automotives, received a call from a public city official last year who first suggested the idea to him. He had already been upset with how oil and gas companies structure contracts, which is one of the reasons he didn't immediately dismiss the radical idea.
"Maryland currently has 20,700 registered electric vehicles.A grant of $786,000 provided by the Electric Vehicle Institute and Maryland Energy Administration helped make the conversion possible.A game changer is coming for electric car owners "Maryland is proud to be a national leader when it comes to clean and renewable energy, climate change, and the promotion of electric infrastructure and vehicles," said Governor Larry Hogan.
