The City of Knoxville offers 43 level 2 EV charging ports at 15 locations across the city. These chargers are free for public use, allowing drivers to charge their vehicles while visiting parks, shopping or dining, or attending events.

As the use of EVs grows, it’s important that we all share the charge. If your vehicle is fully charged or no longer actively charging, please move it so others can plug in.
