The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Nevada Department of Administration to construct an electric vehicle (EV) charging station. The proposed project is part of the Nevada Electric Highway Project, and Nevada Energy is the sub-recipient and would be responsible for the installation of the charging station. The charging station would be comprised of one to three pedestal type chargers and would be installed in an existing parking lot. The charger would include one DC Fast Charger, and either one dual-port Level 2 Charger or two single-port Level 2 Chargers. The EV charging station would be approximately 1’-4’ by 2'-4’ wide by 5' - 6' tall.
The charging station would be located in the existing parking lot of the Lady Bird Park, a State of Nevada Rest Area on the northwest corner of 10th and U.S. 95 in Hawthorne, Nevada. Necessary project activities would include, the construction of two or three concrete pads and the placement of EV charging equipment (pedestals), installation of electrical conduit, trenching and repair of existing concrete curbing and asphalt parking surface, electric panel upgrades and additional electrical enhancements to accommodate the fast charger higher voltage requirements, and necessary lighting and parking striping.
