Las Vegas\u2019 Harry Reid International Airport is making it easier for those with electric cars. Starting this month, 24 electric vehicle chargers are now available at the airport.<\/p>\n

They are equally divided between parking garages at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. The project reportedly cost $250,000 to acquire and install the devices.<\/p>\n

The installation was completed at the end of last month,\u201d<\/strong> Joe Rajchel, an airport spokesperson, told Casino.org<\/em>. \u201cThey are available to anyone utilizing the valet parking at no additional cost.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That means airport passengers can get a fully charged battery upon their return flight. Those driving Tesla electric vehicles need to have their adapters to charge a car at the airport, Rajchel further told the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, the airport may add more electric vehicle chargers, Rajchel confirmed. They could be located in the long-term parking area.<\/p>\n

Over 11,000 Electric Vehicles in Nevada<\/h2>\n

Interest in electric vehicles is growing, supporters report. There were 11,040 electric vehicles in Nevada as of last June.\u00a0 That is according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.<\/p>\n

\n

A few weeks ago, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak, D, pledged that at least 30% of all new trucks and buses sold in the state will be zero-emission by 2030. By 2050, 100% will be zero-emission. The pledge is part of a multi-state agreement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Supporters say the move to 100% will lead to $7.5 billion in public health benefits, citing data from the American Lung Association. The move will also prevent an estimated 676 premature deaths, supporters add.<\/p>\n

But skeptics argue that the cost of electric vehicles remains too high to be in the reach of lower- and middle-income Americans. In January, the average price for an electric vehicle in the US was $62,876.<\/p>\n

That amount is over 93% of the median US household income reported in 2020, Jalopnik<\/em>, an online publication covering the auto sector, reported.<\/p>\n

Gas Price Impact<\/h2>\n

But advocates of electric vehicles say their popularity has increased with increasing gasoline prices. The cost of a gallon of gasoline<\/a> in the Las Vegas Valley is around $5 at many gas stations in the region, the Review-Journal<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas airport was renamed in December to honor former US Sen. Harry Reid<\/a>. He represented Nevada in the Senate between 1987 and 2017. Reid was also the Majority Leader of the Senate. He passed away later in December at the age of 82.<\/p>\n

It formerly was named McCarran International Airport. That was to honor former US Senator Pat McCarran. He represented Nevada between 1933 and 1954. But officials chose to rename the airport after complaints were made that McCarran was prejudiced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
