The office of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has announced new federal funding to provide for nine charging stations for electric vehicles. More than $6.8 million in federal funds will be going to the state’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula program. These new direct current (DC) fast-charging stations will add to Kansas’ existing electronic vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, forming a more complete statewide EV charging network.
The nine new EV charging locations selected by the Kansas Department of Transportation include:
- Augusta – Casey’s, 212 W 7th St. (U.S. 400)
- Baxter Springs – Casey’s, 2403 Military Ave. (U.S. 400)
- Lebo – Casey’s, 2740 Fauna Rd. (I-35)
- Dodge City – Love’s, 2505 E Trail St. (U.S. 400)

- Parsons – Casey’s, 516 Main St. (U.S. 400)
- Severy – Pete’s, 218 R Rd. (U.S. 400)
The new stations are in addition to six that were announced Jan. 3 and are located at:
