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 KUB offers one of the most generous utility EV charger rebates in Tennessee — up to $400 back on a new Level 2 installation. 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 rebate up to $400 — one of the largest utility EV charger rebates in Tennessee. Unlike most programs, KUB doesn't require ENERGY STAR certification — any new Level 2 charger qualifies. Submit within 60 days of installation. 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.
