electric vehicles

CleanAirNow KC has joined 16 states and other environmental groups in lawsuits to stop the USPS from buying thousands of gasoline-powered trucks.

Missouri ranks dead last in the U.S. for the average starting salaries for teachers — just $32,000. But so far, state budget discussions have ignored a plan from the governor to raise that pay. Plus, how will Ford's plan to electrify its best-selling F-150 pickup play out in the Midwest?

Ford is electrifying its best-selling F-150 pickup. The F-150 Lightning is a pitch to rural drivers that you don’t need to be an early adopter or environmentalist for an electric vehicle to make sense.

On the last day before the legislature takes a week off, the House also passed legislation creating nurseries in women’s prisons and a measure to prevent local officials from closing churches in a pandemic.

Ford claims to have more than 10,000 orders for the E-Transit vans, which start at $43,000.

Roughly $9 billion in federal funding has been allocated for Missouri's infrastructure needs. The director of the state's Department of Transportation explains where that money is going.

As more drivers buy electric vehicles across the Midwest, utility companies work to establish a charging network.

About 35 miles southeast of Kansas City, the town of Pleasant Hill has become one of the smallest in Missouri to offer an electric vehicle charging location to the public.

Last year, there were only 6,000 fully electric vehicles registered in Missouri and half that number in Kansas.

Kansas scores well for the number of charging stations it has in the eastern part of the state, but not so much when it comes to tax incentives and planning for a move away from the internal combustion engine.
