Home to North America’s largest active lithium deposit, Nevada is the only lithium producer in the U.S. and is becoming a hot spot for EV and battery manufacturing. Significant investment from automakers, battery suppliers, miners, energy companies, and government funding is driving economic output in the state.
As of August 2024, $11.88 billion in private investments has been poured into the Nevada EV manufacturing industry, spurred by approximately $90 million in federal funding. These investments have resulted in the creation of more than 11,00o jobs for Nevadans. Prominent locations of these jobs are shown on the map below.

These investments, along with recent changes in tax policy, are bolstering American manufacturing and supply chains, which is critical at a time when China has a head start in the global transition to electric transportation. Read more about how electric vehicles can benefit Nevada.
Nevada has already taken important steps toward an electrified transportation future, with actions by the state government, local governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, including utilities and EV-related businesses.
Learn more about the policies, strategies, and partners can help Nevada accelerate electrification in our Nevada state policy factsheet below. This document reflects input from a wide range of on-the-ground stakeholders and builds upon the insights of previous roadmaps and guidance documents, including those developed by the EC. It reviews transportation’s current impacts on public health, safety, and the economy, and it identifies a set of high-impact areas of engagement.
The United States is the world’s largest consumer of petroleum, accounting for one-fifth of global daily supply.
Oil accounts for over 90% of energy use in the U.S. transportation sector. This overwhelming dependence on
oil threatens public health, energy security, our economy, and our climate.

We brought together close to 100 EV policymakers, industry experts, and advocates in December 2020 for a day-long session on policies that will accelerate EV adoption in Nevada. See a full list of speakers, slides, and a recording of the event.
