The Pete's Convenience Store location on US 400 in Fredonia is one of six locations to receive federal funds as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure or NEVI program. 

 Governor Laura Kelly announced the $4.6 million to six locations across the state to help improve the number of charging stations along the state's major highways and interstate system. The funding will help install a direct current, fast charging station at the location. Other areas receiving funds include Emporia, Garden City, Cherokee, Belleville, and Pratt.
