Fredonia: petes store #47

The Federal Highway Administration awarded $869,365 to the Kansas Department of Transportation on October 15, 2025, under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program (CFDA 20.277) to construct and install electric vehicle charging stations at Pete's Fueling and Convenience Store #47 in Fredonia, Kansas, located along US-400. The project is scheduled for completion by January 3, 2028, and represents Kansas KDOT's deployment of federal NEVI funding to expand EV charging infrastructure in community locations across the state.

This award is part of the broader NEVI Formula Program, which distributes $884.3 million nationally to states for strategic deployment of EV charging infrastructure along highways and within communities. The program aims to establish a convenient, affordable, and reliable EV charging network. Individual NEVI awards typically range from $25,000 for discrete charging installations to $1.5 million for state-level program management, with this award at the higher end reflecting a substantial fueling station installation project. Kansas KDOT has received multiple similar NEVI awards for charging infrastructure at convenience stores and travel stops statewide, positioning the state as an active participant in national EV infrastructure deployment.
