EV Charger Installation in Knoxville, Tennessee

Knoxville is one of the best cities in the country for home EV charging. KUB's electricity rates run about 38% below the national average, and their Time of Use rate lowers the cost of overnight charging even further. If you drive an EV in Knoxville and don't have a home charger yet, the economics are hard to ignore.

What Makes Knoxville Different

Two things stand out for Knoxville EV owners:

• KUB's Time of Use rate, a lower per-kWh price for charging overnight during off-peak hours. Contact KUB at kub.org/ev or (865) 524-2911 to enroll. Full guide →
• Low electricity rates . KUB's rate is about 12 cents per kWh versus the national average of 16+ cents. Combined with the TOU overnight rate, home charging costs less than $1 per equivalent gallon for most Knoxville drivers.
