States have led America's electric vehicle race for years. Here's how Nevada has pulled ahead of the pack on EV policy.
across our highway system. We created an electric highway program and started to deploy charging stations across our state. In the last election, we elected a new governor and had split governance. So, Democrats were in control of the legislature, but we had a Republican governor get elected.. The new administration wasn't interested in moving to advanced clean cars or advanced clean trucks, at least not at this time. Our governor withdrew Nevada from the U.S.
The other policy I worked on was an incentive program, and it was specifically aimed at larger vehicles rather than passenger vehicles. These include medium and heavy-duty vehicles. They make up a very small share of the vehicles on our roadway, but a large share of the vehicle pollution that gets emitted in our state.
We’re a very large state in terms of landmass, but we're also very urbanized in terms of population. And at the state level, how do we support people who are traveling across the state? How do we support these rural communities so that nobody is left behind? So, we were one of the first states to start the Electric Highway Program and put in charging stations across the state.
Q: What advice would you give state policymakers working on this issue in their state, who also want to advance EVs, attract jobs and businesses?
