Evergy Missouri West's primary EV-specific offering is the EV Only Plan, a separately metered time-of-use rate. Eligible residential customers install a second meter dedicated to vehicle charging; Evergy installs the meter at no cost, though the customer pays a licensed electrician to prepare the meter socket. On-peak hours run 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. A super off-peak window from midnight to 6 a.m. carries the lowest energy charge. Specific cents-per-kWh values for the Missouri West territory are set by the Missouri PSC and change periodically through the tariff process; the utility's Nights and Weekends Saver plan (available without a second meter) carries a peak rate of approximately 30.25 cents per kWh in summer and 24.62 cents per kWh in winter as of the tariff effective February 4, 2026, which provides a benchmark.

The residential EVSE rebate of up to $500 applies to the purchase and installation of a 240-volt Level 2 charger or outlet, and requires the customer to enroll in a residential time-of-use rate and stay on it for one year. Customers must own or lease an EV and must not be in a collections or active payment-agreement status. On the commercial side, the commercial EV charger rebate offers $2,500 per Level 2 port or $20,000 per DC fast charger for public, workplace, fleet, and multifamily sites, capped at 40% of equipment and wiring costs, for sites on the separately metered Business EV Charging Service rate; the program runs through March 31, 2028, with a $2.5 million total budget. Residential and commercial programs are separate applications with no enrollment linkage between them. The Solar Subscription program lets residential customers procure blocks of community solar generation to offset a portion of their usage; details and block pricing are available at evergy.com.

Evergy Missouri West is a vertically integrated IOU in a cost-of-service regulated state; all rates and new programs require Missouri PSC approval before taking effect. The utility was created in June 2018 when Evergy, Inc. was formed from the merger of Great Plains Energy (parent of Kansas City Power and Light) and Westar Energy; Evergy Missouri West holds the non-metropolitan western Missouri service territories formerly operated as part of Kansas City Power and Light's Missouri franchise. Customers should verify that a given program applies to their specific territory, as Evergy also operates the Missouri Metro and Kansas territories whose program details and rates differ from Missouri West.
