Pratt: caseys store #3548

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Kansas Department of Transportation $1,106,681 under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program (CFDA 20.277) on October 15, 2025, for the construction and installation of electric vehicle charging stations at Casey's Store #3548 in Pratt, Kansas. The project scope encompasses the design, procurement, and deployment of EV charging infrastructure at this fueling and convenience store location to support the development of a convenient, affordable, and reliable EV charging network along the nation's highways and within communities. The award is scheduled for completion by January 3, 2028.

This formula grant is consistent with FHWA's broader NEVI deployment strategy, which allocates federal funding to states for strategic EV charging infrastructure buildout. Individual project awards under this program typically range from $25,000 for discrete charging installations to $1.5 million for state-level program management, with this Kansas award representing a mid-to-large scale installation at a commercial fueling location. As a formula allocation to the state, KDOT serves as the primary recipient responsible for administering these funds and overseeing project implementation in accordance with federal requirements.
