We will be located near the Dillard’s entrance, look for the feather flag. We usually try to get there early at 5:00am to reserve our row of parking. However, we advise anyone that wants to join us in our EV section to get there before 7:30 am as it becomes a mad house traffic jam at that time. You may not be let in to our area after 8am. We suggest you enter the Montvue rd entrance as its easiest to get to our location. Just enter the Mall parking and turn left and follow it around to the Dillard’s entrance that faces Kingston Pike. If you plan on attending, please email Knoxville.EV.Club@gmail.com so I can maintain a car count. They typically have free food and coffee. See you all there!
Where: 7600 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919
When: By 7:30am you need to be parked near us, show goes from 8am-11am.

90% of all EV charging is done at home
Every EV sold today comes with a 110 volt charger. We recommend people install a 240 volt charger in their garage since the latest EVs have larger battery packs this will minimize the time it takes to charge your EV. Most people already have access to 240v in their garage as this is the typical voltage for clothes dryers.
3 cents a mile
The typical efficiency of electric vehicles is 3 miles a KWH. The average cost of a KWH of electricity in Tennessee is about 10 cents. Simple math means you only pay 3.3 cents per mile. Even better news is that EV makers are pushing the efficiency to 4 miles or more per KWH thus making the cost even cheaper!
