Tips for cheap charging in Columbia

Columbia is close to the halfway point between Kansas City and St. Louis on I-70, which makes it one of the most practical charging stops on that drive. Compare the fast chargers below by price per kWh before you choose one off the interstate.

Mizzou football Saturdays fill hotels, restaurants and parking around campus and downtown. If you are passing through on a game day, charge near the I-70 exits rather than heading into town.

Students and renters without home charging can look for free Level 2 stations downtown and near the University of Missouri, and plug in during classes, work or a meal.

If a station shows "Price not listed", the network did not publish a rate to the Department of Energy. Open the network's app before you plug in so you are not surprised by the cost.
