The Kansas Department of Transportation announces a Call for Projects for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
The call comes ahead applications being accepted for these projects across the state.
An estimated $14 million in National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula funds are available to award for DC fast charging projects along federally designated EV Charging Corridors in Kansas. Additional funding also will be available to support community charging and other EV charging projects. All awarded projects will be required to meet a minimum 20% local cash match.
A Call for Projects first requires a project concept form be submitted to KDOT before the application process begins, which allows KDOT to provide feedback on eligibility and direct project sponsors to potential funding opportunities.
KDOT will utilize various federal funding opportunities to support EV Charging Infrastructure Projects statewide. Projects could include direct current (DC) fast charging along state highways, community charging or other public EV charging projects.
