KUTV-TV reported that a bill introduced Monday would encourage up to $50 million of investmen
Officials say a stretch of Interstate 15 crossing southern Nevada has become the first route in the U.S. West to be designated as an electric vehicle corridor with charging stations available at least every 50 miles.
Sales of electric vehicles, including hybrids, grew by nearly a quarter last year. And demand is expected to grow even more as state governments incentivize electric vehicles.
