Nevada corridor charging program

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Nevada Department of Transportation $1,399,842 on August 31, 2026, under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (CFDA 20.277) to establish the Nevada Corridor Charging Program.

The program delivers a continuous, interoperable network of publicly accessible DC fast charging stations along Nevada's designated alternative fuel corridors, meeting or exceeding federal NEVI standards, Title 23 requirements, and FHWA guidance. The infrastructure supports long-distance EV travel across the state while enabling economic development and tourism.

Performance runs through March 1, 2029, with all work conducted in Nevada. The Nevada Department of Transportation Financial Management division serves as the prime recipient and administers the formula grant on behalf of the state, with sub-award recipients including regional transportation commissions and local jurisdictions responsible for installation and ongoing network operation.
