Manhattan may see more charging stations in the near future for electric vehicles as they become more common. At Monday’s meeting, Riley County’s MPO planning manager told officials to expect some changes in infrastructure to accommodate the gradual rise in EV use.
“A lot of the world is going that way and we’re being dragged into it,” said Jared Tremblay, planning manager for the Metropolitan Planning Organization. “In Kansas we sold 88,000 cars last year. Last year, specifically in Riley County, there was about 2 percent electric.”
