EV charger installation in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland.

Chesapeake Beach is one of the twin bayside towns on Route 261, and the housing here splits two ways. Close to the water you get the older resort-era cottages on small lots, often with a detached garage out back or no garage at all and the car on the street. Further up the hill are the newer townhome blocks like Richfield Station, where the garage is attached but the panel is usually in a closet or utility room at the far end of the house. Either way the first question is where the car actually sleeps, because that decides the wire run and whether the charger needs an outdoor-rated unit on a post.

Chesapeake Beach is an incorporated town, so the county asks that you check the town’s own requirements before the county electrical permit goes in. We handle that step along with the SMECO enrollment paperwork once the charger is in.
