EV Charging Rates in Missouri
To further help EV owners reduce charging costs by encouraging off-peak charging, utilities in Missouri offer time-of-use (TOU) electricity rates designed to lower the cost of charging EVs.
These TOU plans incentivize vehicle charging during off-peak hours, making EV ownership more affordable.
Enrolling in one of these plans is a great way to save on at-home EV charging once you have a charging station safely installed by a certified EV installer.
Ameren
Ameren Missouri, the state’s largest utility, offers its customers four TOU rates to choose from:
- The utility’s Evening/Morning Savers rate only has a minor pricing difference and offers the least amount of savings for EV owners.
- The Overnight Savers plan is ideal for EV owners if you will mostly charge your EV at night. Off-peak hours last from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day and come with a summer rate of $0.06 per kWh and a winter rate of $0.05 per kWh. During the day, you’ll pay $0.16 per kWh in the summer and $0.09 per kWh in the winter.
- If you want more flexibility when charging your EV during the day, the Smart Savers plan can be a good choice. The rate for this plan is divided into an on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak rate. In the summer, the on-peak rate of $0.35 per kWh applies from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The off-peak rate of $0.06 per kWh goes into effect at 10 p.m. and ends at 6 a.m. Outside of these hours, you’ll pay the mid-peak rate of $0.10 per kWh. In the winter, off-peak hours are the same, but you’ll pay $0.05 per kWh. During the day, you’ll pay $0.19 per kWh from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., $0.06 per kWh from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., $0.19 per kWh from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and $0.06 per kWh from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
- With the lowest off-peak prices, the Ultimate Savers rate is an excellent option for EV drivers looking for the most affordable plan. Through this plan, you’ll pay summertime on-peak prices of $0.30 per kWh from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a rate of $0.05 per kWh outside of these hours. In the winter, you’ll pay $0.04 during off-peak hours and $0.16 per kWh from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Barry Electric Cooperative
With Barry’s Electric Cooperative’s TOU plan, you’ll pay $0.80 per kWh during on-peak periods and $0.20 per kWh off-peak hours. There are two daily on-peak periods, from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

In the winter, on-peak hours last from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., regular hours from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and off-peak hours from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. The schedule is different in the summer, with on-peak hours lasting from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., regular hours from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and off-peak hours from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Evergy
Evergy has a special discounted rate for EV charging, but you’ll need to install a separate meter to qualify. Under this plan, you’ll pay $0.03 per kWh to charge your EV between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. There is an on-peak rate of $0.36 per kWh from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. You’ll pay $0.12 per kWh outside of these hours.
If you want more flexibility when charging your EV, the utility offers 3 other TOU plans:
- The Summer Peak-Based plan comes with a standard rate of $0.10 per kWh that applies most of the time, except for winter nights when you’ll pay $0.06 per kWh from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. and summer afternoons when you’ll pay $0.38 per kWh from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Public EV Charging Stations in Missouri
The Missouri Department of Transportation is actively making significant strides in developing the state’s EV charging infrastructure by leveraging NEVI funding.
The current and primary focus is on building EV charging stations along major highways, and this is supported by a combination of private and public incentives, including Kansas City’s initiative to build streetlight EV chargers.
How Many Public EV Charging Stations Are in Missouri?
As of March 2025, Missouri has over 1,200 public charging stations including 1,100 Level 2 and 194 DC Fast stations. There are 2,984 public EV charging ports, 29 Tesla Supercharger stations and 281 Tesla Supercharger ports in Missouri.
How Much Do Public EV Charging Stations Cost in Missouri?
The cost of charging depends on the type of station and provider.
For example, charging at one of the Level 2 EV chargers provided by the University of Missouri will cost $0.27 per kWh, while other public charging stations may even offer free charging.
Be sure to read our article discussing the Cost of Charging an EV at Home vs. Public Charging.
Are There Free EV Charging Stations in Missouri?
Yes, free EV charging is available in various places across the state.
One example is the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, where drivers can charge their vehicles at no cost as they tour the gardens.
Where Are Public EV Charging Stations Located in Missouri?
Major urban areas such as Kansas City, St. Louis, and Springfield are home to the majority of EV charging stations in Missouri, with smaller towns progressively adding chargers as well, but often at a much slower rate.
Charging stations are also continuing to be built along strategic roads and major highways, including I-35, I-44, I-49, and I-70, to help support long-distance travel for EV drivers and even commercial electric vehicles.
Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Map of EV Charging Station Locations in Missouri, which can be sorted and filtered based on public access, charger type (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast), and connector type (NACS, J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO).
Home Electrification Incentives in Missouri
Combining EV ownership with other electrification projects, such as upgrading your home with solar panels & battery storage, or investing in a heat pump, will help you save even more while reducing your environmental impact.
You may qualify for home electrification incentives through your local electricity provider in addition to the U.S. federal government. Scroll down to read tax credit and incentive details for specific home electrification technologies.
Battery Storage
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of new battery storage systems size 3kWh and larger.
Electrical Panels
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit provides a federal tax credit for electrical panel upgrades needed to complete electrification projects like heat pumps and heat pump water heaters (up to 30% of project costs, capped at $600). The 25C tax credit can be used by renters, and homeowners making upgrades to their primary or secondary home.
Qualifying electrical panels must meet the standards of the National Electric Code (NEC) and have a capacity of 200 Amps or more. This means that your new/upgraded panel must be able to serve a load of at least 200 Amps, but you don’t need 200 Amps of incoming utility service. Smart panels may qualify if they allow you to serve a load of 200 Amps.
If you’re claiming 25D for a residential solar or battery storage project and the installation required you to upgrade your main panel, you may be able to apply 25D to electrical panel costs as well.
Heat Pumps & Heat Pump Water Heaters
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit also applies to heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. A 30% federal tax credit is available (capped at $2,000 dollars). Eligible technologies must meet certain energy efficiency requirements.
Solar Panels
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit also provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of photovoltaic (PV) solar panel systems.
