Nevada - National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Grant Program

Note: The Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) created the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Grant Program with a total budget of $5 billion. Each state was allocated a share of that total to help build out a national network of electric vehicle charging stations along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs). With some limited exceptions, EV charging stations funded through the NEVI program should be spaced 50 miles apart and within one mile of the Interstate exit or highway. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is the lead agency for Nevada's NEVI Plan. Nevada's initial NEVI Plan was submitted to the federal Joint Office of Energy and Transportation in July 2022, and its 2023 Update was submitted in August 2023. Nevada's goal is for all interstates in Nevada to achieve “Fully Built-Out” status. In years 1 and 2, NDOT approved two new stations in collaboration with NV Energy’s Transportation Electrification Programs, and upgrades at three existing rural stations. In year 3, NDOT plans to make NEVI funds available to private partners through grant opportunities.
