Kansas trails national average in preparing for move to electric cars
By Brian Grimmett
The electrification of cars and small trucks is on the horizon, but the state of Kansas is doing the bare minimum to be prepared.
A new state scorecard from the advocacy group the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy ranks the state 29th, with a score of 15.5 out of 100.
Only five states scored at least half of the available points.
“This means that all states can improve their policies,” said Bryan Howard, the scorecard’s lead author.
He said the scorecard is intended to help identify the most promising policies related to EVs and EV-charging infrastructure.
