Level 2 EV Charger Installation in Knoxville, Tennessee

Last verified: May 2026

A Level 2 charger runs on 240V, the same voltage as your dryer, and delivers 20–30 miles of range per hour. Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full charge. With Knoxville's electricity rates running 38% below the national average, home EV charging in Knoxville is among the most affordable in the country.

If you're just getting started and not sure what's involved, our step-by-step installation guide walks you through the entire process from decision to first charge.

What's Included in a Level 2 Installation

  • Dedicated 240V circuit, run from your electrical panel to the charger location
  • 40–60 amp breaker, installed in your panel to feed the new circuit
  • Charger mounting and wiring, hardwired or NEMA 14-50 outlet
  • City of Knoxville permit, pulled by your electrician before work begins
  • City inspection, your electrician coordinates
  • Itemized receipt, required for KUB rebate submission

Knoxville-Specific Considerations

Historic neighborhoods and older homes

Knoxville has extensive older housing in neighborhoods like Fourth & Gill, Sequoyah Hills, Fountain City, and Old North Knox. Many of these homes have 100-amp electrical service, which cannot safely support a Level 2 charger without a panel upgrade. If your home was built before 1980, budget for the possibility of a panel upgrade. An electrician can assess in 15 minutes. How to check your panel →

West Knoxville, Farragut, and Hardin Valley

Newer construction in these areas typically has 200-amp service with available capacity, straightforward installs that usually take 2–4 hours and land in the $900–$1,400 range.

The KUB rebate, up to $400

KUB residential customers get up to $400 back on any new Level 2 charger. Submit the rebate form within 60 days of installation. Your electrician's itemized receipt is required for the rebate. Full KUB rebate guide →
