When you think of Las Vegas, the automotive industry is not necessarily the first thing that comes to mind. Nevada's harsh climate and the city's reputation for entertainment and leisure seem worlds apart from the world of automobiles. Yet, Sin City has nurtured an automotive ecosystem that’s been working towards innovations in mobility. In fact, some high-profile companies call the city and Nevada their home. One such player is Johnson Electric, a global leader in motion products, control systems and flexible interconnects. Their impact extends far beyond the desert as they serve diverse industries, from automotive to aerospace, medical devices to power tools. Established in 1959, Johnson Electric's products are shipped to over 30 countries, finding applications in hundreds of different products. They've created innovation and product design centers across the globe, from Hong Kong to the United States. Kaptyn, a smaller but ambitious company, hails from Nevada with a focus on transforming the Las Vegas ride service experience. With just 120 employees and an annual revenue of $8.5 million, they're making big waves by building a platform that emphasizes sustainability and professional drivers. Considering the high temperatures in Las Vegas, the service is sorely needed. But perhaps the crown jewel of Nevada’s automotive landscape is Tesla. Founded in 2003 by a group of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Tesla's vision reaches far beyond traditional vehicles. They've set their sights on electric cars, clean energy solutions and cutting-edge automotive technology. Tesla's product lineup includes popular electric cars like the Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y, as well as innovations such as solar panels, solar roofs and Powerwall home batteries. Under the leadership of CEO James Charles, Tesla has grown into a prominent player in the electric vehicle market with a market capitalization of $34.32 billion.
