Electric Vehicles

WAMPO’s Electric Vehicle Network Plan was developed to support the growing market of electric vehicles (EVs). Having an EV plan enables municipalities and others in the region to address immediate needs and long-term planning objectives.

The Electric Vehicle Network Plan outlines the first steps the region can take to support and encourage electric vehicle adoption.

The EV Network Plan aims to deliver a comprehensive course of action to provide EV charging infrastructure and remove barriers to further EV adoption in the WAMPO region efficiently and effectively. This plan serves as a starting point for private and public entities to grow familiarity with the opportunities and challenges of EV vehicles, charging infrastructure, and adoption.

The Electric Vehicle Network Plan supports Metropolitan Transportation Plan 2050 (MTP 2050) and the Charge Up Kansas NEVI Plan by advancing the use of EVs to improve air quality and fostering economic development. WAMPO has an opportunity to adapt to emerging technologies by closing EV charging infrastructure gaps and removing barriers to EV adoption.
