Introduction
The Nevada Electric Highway (NEH) began as a partnership between
the Governor’s Office of Energy (GOE), NV Energy, and Valley
Electric Association to expand Nevada’s electric vehicle (EV) charging
infrastructure, initially along US 95, with cost-effective and strategic
installations.
GOE announced Phase I of the NEH program in June 2015 and
outlined five initial sites along US 95 (Fallon, Hawthorne, Tonopah,
Beatty, and Indian Springs). Businesses and government entities
along that corridor were encouraged to support EV
infrastructure development by hosting charging
stations. GOE expanded the NEH program in 2018 to
include I-80, I-15, US 93, US 50 and add additional EV
charging along US 95 (NEH Phase II). Phase I stations
include two Level 2 chargers and one direct current
fast charger (DCFC) and provide free charging for the
first five years of operation. Phase II stations similarly
required a minimum of two chargers but offered the
option for both to be DCFC.
Phase I
Phase I of the NEH, along U.S. 95, is complete with five stations operational in Beatty, Fallon, Tonopah, Indian Springs and Hawthorne.
Phase II
Phase II of the NEH nearly complete with EV charging infrastructure on the state's remaining major interstate and highway corridors including I-15, I-80, U.S. 93, and U.S. 50. Phase II development also included additional charging infrastructure on U.S. 95. Phase II will be complete in June 2022 with the final two sites at Baker and Eureka coming online.
REV West
REV West was established by eight intermountain west governors signing a memorandum of understanding
(MOU) on October 12, 2017. Signatory states include Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. The MOU established a framework for creating an intermountain west EV
corridor network that will lessen range anxiety and make regional travel possible for EV drivers across the west.
In December 2019, the eight signatory states updated theREV West MOU, recommitting to this regional work. The
updated MOU, signed by Governor Sisolak, strengthened
this collaboration and detailed the path to continue work
toward the buildout of an intermountain west EV corridor.
The MOU also summarized REV West’s progress to
date, outlined the activities the signatory states intend to
undertake, and identified an implementation process.
The MOU outlines, among other goals, consumer and fleet
manager awareness, EV charging station coordination to
avoid redundancy and optimize user experiences, minimum
standards for EV charging stations, infrastructure planning
to incorporate renewable energy generation and building
codes.
