EV charging infrastructure in rural Nevada is broken and that affects tourism and our economy
From "Welcome to The Nevada Forum!"

🚗 I tried planning an EV trip across Nevada recently and honestly… it’s still pretty tough on many key routes through rural Nevada.
More chargers would mean more travelers stopping in small towns for food, hotels, etc.
🗳️ Tesla’s doing one of their public votes right now for new fast charger locations, and five Nevada sites are on the list: Carson City, Austin, and Baker on US-50, plus Alamo and Jackpot on US-93.
🔗 You don’t need a Tesla to vote, and the stations would be open to all EVs anyway.
If you want to vote you can do that here ( https://www.tesla.com/supercharger-voting ).

To help repair and maintain Nevada's rural EV charging infrastructure, NDOT, NV Energy, and rural energy co-ops should encourage partnerships with rural fuel stations/convenience stores and charging service providers to cut red tape, incentivize the repair or replacement of broken chargers, and provide long-term service plans.
Also, a portion of revenue from a proposed pay-per-mile EV road-use fee can be earmarked to help fund long-term service.
