Winfield looks to add electric vehicle charging stations

The City of Winfield, in partnership with the Kansas Power Pool, plans to install at least two public-use electric vehicle charging stations, Winfield City Manager Taggart Wall said Tuesday. The Level 2 charging stations will cost around $3,000 each. The city will pay for half the cost with electric utility funds, and the KPP will cover the other half, Wall said. The station locations are still being discussed, but will be placed in areas where they will most likely be used by travelers to Winfield.
