A Live Online Conversation with Kansas City EV Drivers
Join Plug-In KC and a group of local EV owners for a casual conversation about what drove them to choose an electric vehicle and what they’ve discovered since owning one. You’ll hear firsthand why our drivers chose an EV, whether it has lived up to their expectations, and whether the reasons they love driving electric today are the same reasons that first convinced them to make the switch.
How much does it cost to an fuel electric vehicle?
We track current Midwest fuel prices and residential electricity rates to compare the cost of driving a gas vehicle versus an EV.

What are the economic benefits of EVs?
Besides being much cheaper than gasoline (the cost equivalence of filling up an ev is $1.00 per gallon), EV’s have zero tailpipe emissions and are much better for the environment. As the electric grid gets cleaner and cleaner, evs will continue to become a cleaner transportation option. In addition, there is a huge benefit of creating new high-paying jobs in the region. The Panasonic plant in Desoto being just one example.
