The fact that Nevada hosts the only operating lithium mine in the United States probably played into Tesla Motors’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) decision to located its lithium ion batter gigafactory there, according to an article from Marketwatch.
As quoted in the publication:

Lithium is the not-so-secret sauce in the countless rechargeable batteries used in a variety of products, including the battery packs that power Teslas.
