Kansas City Ready for Electric Cars

Region now has 78 public charging stations, but fewer than 100 EVs.

The vehicles also pose “no clear and present danger” to the electric grid, while the training of electricians to handle the charging infrastructure for the cars and trucks is already being done, according to the federally funded yearlong report prepared by Electrify Heartland, a planning project managed by the nonprofit Metropolitan Energy Center in Kansas City.
