EV Charging in Kansas

Kansas has no state EV purchase rebate and no ZEV mandate. Evergy offers modest residential rebates. NEVI investments are building I-70 corridor charging. Wichita and Kansas City (metro area) are the primary EV markets. The state's geography is important for I-70 cross-country travel.

EV time-of-use rates

statewide

Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Kansas Metro, which together serve most Kansas customers, offer the Nights and Weekends time-of-use plan with off-peak rates between midnight and 6am at roughly $0.03 per kWh. The plan pairs with the Evergy Level 2 charger rebate for enrolled EV owners. Municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives outside Evergy territory are more variable, and many remain on flat-rate residential service only.

Net metering / solar+EV

net billing

Kansas credits Evergy residential exports at the wholesale system average cost rate of roughly 2.4 cents per kWh versus a retail rate near 13.6 cents, consistent with the net-billing framework established by Kansas Corporation Commission orders. Unused credits carry forward monthly and expire annually on March 31. Utilities outside Evergy may offer a parallel-generation tariff in lieu of net metering. Confirm system-size and capacity-cap rules with your utility before sizing a solar-plus-EV system.

Public charging network

Tesla Supercharger and ChargePoint are active in Wichita and the Kansas City metro. I-70 through Kansas has historically had significant charging gaps, particularly between Salina and Colby, that NEVI is actively addressing. The Kansas Turnpike (I-35 / I-335 / I-470) and the I-70 east-west corridor are both NEVI priorities.

Station-network counts for Kansas will appear here once the next AFDC ingest runs.

Regulatory Environment

Kansas has no ZEV mandate and no state EV programs. Evergy (the primary electric utility serving eastern Kansas and Wichita) is regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. KDOT is administering NEVI corridor funds.
