Nevada corridor charging program

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Nevada Department of Transportation $10.106 million on August 31, 2026, under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (CFDA 20.277) to establish the Nevada Corridor Charging Program.

The program will deploy a statewide network of publicly accessible DC fast charging stations along Nevada's designated alternative fuel corridors, designed to enable safe and convenient long-distance EV travel across the state while supporting economic development and tourism. The charging infrastructure will meet or exceed all federal NEVI standards, Title 23 requirements, and FHWA guidance, creating a continuous, interoperable network of reliable, high-power charging facilities.

The Nevada Department of Transportation, acting through its Financial Management division, serves as the prime recipient and will administer the award across the state. Performance is scheduled to conclude on March 1, 2029. Work will be performed throughout Nevada, with sub-awards anticipated to local jurisdictions and regional transportation commissions that have historically received pass-through funding from NDOT for multimodal and highway infrastructure projects.
