EV time-of-use rates
statewideNV Energy, the dominant electric utility in both northern and southern Nevada, offers a residential Time-of-Use rate with an EV adder. Peak runs in the late afternoon to early evening; off-peak rates between 10pm and 8am can be roughly five to six times cheaper than on-peak. New customers receive a one-year no-risk trial that credits the difference if the standard flat rate would have cost less.
Net metering / solar+EV
net billingNevada's net metering compensation declines through legislated tiers under Assembly Bill 405 (2017). Each 80 MW of installed capacity triggers a 7 percent reduction; the program is currently in the lowest tier at 75 percent of the retail rate for new NV Energy customers, locked in for 20 years from interconnection. Pre-June 2017 systems are grandfathered at 95 percent.
Right to charge
No statewide statuteNevada does not have a dedicated right-to-charge statute. NRS Chapter 116 (Common-Interest Ownership Act) governs HOAs and condominium associations but does not specifically preempt their authority to restrict EV charging installation. Several right-to-charge bills have been introduced in recent sessions but none have been enacted as of mid-2026.
EV registration fees
Nevada has no EV-specific registration surcharge. SB 191 (2023) would have established one but was vetoed by Governor Lombardo; no successor bill has been enacted.
EV: None
PHEV: None
Public charging network
Tesla Supercharger dominates the Las Vegas metro and I-15 corridor to California. Electrify America and EVgo have strong Las Vegas Strip presence. The I-80 corridor to California is well-covered. Rural Nevada, including US-95 between Las Vegas and Reno and the I-11 corridor toward the Arizona border, still has significant gaps. The NV Energy-led Nevada Electric Highway buildout has lagged its original 1,800-port plan, with roughly 16 stations built and about $12.4 million spent of the $90 million committed as of late 2025.
Station-network counts for Nevada will appear here once the next AFDC ingest runs.
Regulatory Environment
Nevada adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II standard in 2023, aligning with California's 2035 ZEV mandate beginning with model year 2025. Nevada's NEVI plan was delayed by the early-2025 federal funding freeze; under the August 2025 interim guidance the state retained about $25.3 million of its original $38 million allocation and plans Q1 2026 solicitations focused on US-95, I-80, and I-11. In a 2026 ruling, the Nevada Public Utilities Commission required NV Energy to track and report grid-interconnection timelines for large EV charging projects beginning January 2026, the first such mandate in the country.
