SE Kansas utility to expand EV charging station system

 

A Southeast Kansas utility joins nine others in the Midwest planning an electric vehicle charging station buildout while also asking regulatory permission for a five-year pilot program for current EV drivers.

Liberty asked the Missouri Public Service Commission to approve several pilot programs for those who already own or want to own electric vehicles, and businesses that want to offer recharging, convert fleets and more.

The goal of the five-year pilot programs is to meet the needs of those customers who have already shifted to electric vehicles and encourage those who want to, said Robin McAlester, senior manager of innovation and sustainability for Liberty reported the Joplin Globe.
