Gov. Laura Kelly has announced that more than $4.6 million in federal funds will be directed to the first six locations selected for the state’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula program.
The awarded projects are required to provide a minimum 20% local cash match, bringing the total investment to $5.8 million. Kelly says this will help fill in the gaps across Kansas, which has other EV stations spread out along the I-70 and I-135 corridors.
“With these awards, we’ll ensure electric vehicle charging stations are accessible to all Kansans for local and long-distance trips,” Kelly said in a Wednesday statement.
The six new direct current (DC fast charging stations will be installed at truck stops and convenience stores in Belleville, Cherokee, Emporia, Fredonia, Garden City and Pratt.
