Evergy Kansas Central, Inc

Evergy Kansas Central's voluntary Nights and Weekends time-of-use plan is the main tool for EV owners who want to cut charging costs. The plan sets peak prices from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and has no peak period on weekends or holidays. It adds a super off-peak period from midnight to 6 a.m. every day, when charging is cheapest. Under the tariff effective October 1, 2025, the summer energy charge is about 26.2 cents per kWh on-peak, 7.5 cents off-peak and 3.7 cents super off-peak, before riders and adjustments. Customers can opt out at any time but cannot return to the plan for 12 months, and homes with rooftop solar should confirm eligibility with Evergy, because the tariff excludes customers with parallel generation yet also lists net-metered rate codes.

The residential charger rebate and the time-of-use rate are designed to work together. Customers who install a qualifying Level 2 charger get a $250 rebate, and that doubles to $500 if they are enrolled in a residential time-of-use or EV rate such as Nights and Weekends. Evergy can take back $250 if the customer leaves that rate within a year. Rebates must be claimed within six months of installation. Evergy runs a separate business rebate for commercial and multifamily sites, paying $2,500 per Level 2 port and $20,000 per DC fast charger, with per-site caps from $25,000 to $65,000 depending on the site type, on a first-come basis until funding runs out or March 14, 2027.

Evergy Kansas Central is the former Westar Energy and is one of several Evergy operating companies. Its EV rates and rebates are filed and approved separately through the Kansas Corporation Commission, so the Kansas terms differ from Evergy's Missouri offerings. The EV Charging Rewards managed charging pilot is available only to Kansas residential customers, runs through December 31, 2028, and is capped at 2,000 participants, which means enrollment can close once the pilot fills.
