Nevada - National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Grant Program
Administered by Nevada Department of Transportation
The NEVI program funds public DC fast charging stations along Nevada's interstates, spaced roughly 50 miles apart and within a mile of exits, making long-distance EV travel more practical. While primarily a commercial infrastructure program, you may benefit from improved charging access when traveling between Nevada cities.
Private partners can apply for NEVI grant funding in year 3 and beyond to build or upgrade DC fast charging stations along Nevada interstates; register with NDOT's NEVI Program Partnering Directory to learn about upcoming opportunities and requirements, which must align with 50-mile spacing and one-mile-from-exit siting standards.
Nevada's NEVI allocation comes from the $5 billion federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act formula grant; NDOT leads the program with a goal of fully building out all state interstates. Years 1–2 funded two new stations and three existing-station upgrades via NV Energy partnerships; year 3 opens competitive grants to private entities. Track participation through the Partnering Directory to manage demand and deployment timelines.

Program summary
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.
