From: Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo

ICYMI: Yesterday, the Federal Highway Administration notified NDOT that it has approved the Nevada Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan it submitted on July 29, 2022.

"The NEVI plan is the playbook for transforming the way Nevadans and travelers move across the state, and FHWA's approval gets us one step closer to achieving a clean energy future that will see more jobs, cleaner air, and an economy that works for all Nevadans," Governor Sisolak said. "I look forward to seeing our plan get fully implemented over the coming years, and I appreciate all the partners who helped bring this plan to fruition."

"I'm excited to see our NEVI plan was quickly approved by the FHWA, especially as electric vehicle adoption rates begin to accelerate across the West," NDOT Director Kristina Swallow said. "We are ready to get to work to implement our plan while coordinating closely with local stakeholders, the business community, and the public."

Below, for reference, is the press release from when Nevada submitted the plan.
