MO3 / 10Adoption

Net metering and solar export

Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.

Net metering / solar + EVnet billing
Status
net billing
Summary
Missouri's Net Metering and Easy Connection Act (RSMo 386.890) provides netting within a billing period at the retail rate for residential systems up to 100 kW. Net excess generation at the end of the billing period is credited at the utility's avoided-cost rate, well below retail, and unused credits expire on the annual true-up. Ameren Missouri and Evergy Missouri each administer this through their respective net metering riders under MO PSC oversight.

What it does
Missouri has no right-to-charge statute. HOAs and condominium associations may lawfully restrict or prohibit EV charging station installation, subject only to general architectural-review obligations under the governing documents.

Registration and EV fees

The annual surcharge that replaces gas-tax revenue.

Annual fees
Missouri EV and PHEV registration fees
Vehicle typeAnnual fee
Battery electric (EV)$89/year
Plug-in hybrid (PHEV)$44.5/year
Missouri assesses an annual Alternative Fuel Vehicle decal fee under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 142.869 in lieu of motor fuel tax, with amounts that scale by gross vehicle weight rating. Recorded amounts reflect the 2026 fee for passenger BEVs at or below 18,000 lbs GVWR; PHEVs pay half the BEV rate. Heavier vehicles (commercial, school bus classes) pay higher decal amounts on the same statutory schedule.

Utilities

Utilities serving Missouri

Your EV rate, rebates, and make-ready programs depend on who serves your address.

Utility coverage for Missouri is being expanded. Major utility pages will appear here as they ship.

Network

Public charging network

Tesla Supercharger, ChargePoint, and Blink are active. Kansas City and St. Louis have the best coverage. I-70 (the primary coast-to-coast route through Missouri) and I-44 (St. Louis to Oklahoma City) are primary NEVI targets. Rural Missouri has thin coverage.

Station-network counts for Missouri will appear here once the next AFDC ingest runs.

Context

Regulatory environment

Missouri has no ZEV mandate and no state EV programs. MoDOT is administering NEVI corridor funds. Kansas City's growing tech economy is driving some EV adoption independently of state policy.
