The Evergy Electrification team focuses on electrifying transportation, with an emphasis on fleet electrification, public EV charging infrastructure, and residential charging programs. We strive to stay ahead of emerging technologies and EV adoption trends to serve our customers and communities better.

Job tasks include but not limited to:

  • Assist in the evaluation and analysis of electrification projects, including technical feasibility studies and cost-benefit analyses.

  • Collaborate with internal teams to optimize the integration of EV charging solutions with existing utility systems and networks.
  • Assist in the technical review of EV charger rebate applications and rate structures for commercial and residential customers.
