Knoxville Electric Vehicle Association

We are Knoxville’s leading non-profit dedicated to educating the public on the benefits of driving electric. Functioning as a regional chapter of the Electric Vehicle Association since 2010. Our monthly meetings and events are great places to come talk to daily EV drivers and have your questions answered as well as a community for EV enthusiasts. If you have never driven an EV we would love the opportunity to put you in the drivers seat at any of our meetings or various EVents.

We typically have a monthly meeting on the 2nd Saturday of every month at 11am.  We currently don’t have a perfect meeting place so be sure to check the upcoming events calendar below to see where we are planning on meeting next.

Upcoming EVents

Here’s a quick snapshot of what we have going on in the next few months.

December Holiday Party
at Shultz Brau Brewing

December 9th, 2023, at 11am

Hey everyone, 

  The results of the holiday party poll that was sent out on the discussion list, is that 64% of you all wanted to meet at our regular date and time of December 9th, at 11am and a big majority 82% wanted to meet at Shultz Brau brewing.  Shultz Brau has some long group tables that we can gather at in the main building. They open right at 11am so we shouldn’t have any trouble getting those tables. We will be taking advantage of their kitchen offerings, they offer traditional German food and also have some vegan/vegetarian options as well. See the menu here, https://www.schulzbraubrewing.com/schulzes-schnitzel-food/ Their Christmas market will also be going on at the same time so you might find something interesting while there. Check that out here https://knoxvillechristmasmarket.com/   There is also a huge outdoor area, so depending on weather we may want to hang around outside as well, they also have some really nice fire pits. There will probably be some live music while we are there. Bring your whole family, kids really enjoy the place. Invite your friends too!

 

We will just be socializing with each other and talking about electric vehicles and random other stuff. I might go over a few of the events to look forward to in the new year but no structured meeting. New people are welcome to come out and join us and talk to us. Bring your EV questions. I will be wearing my EVA hat and jacket so our group should be easy to find.

 

Come on out and have some food and drinks and a good time!

 

When: Saturday December 9th, 11am to whenever
Where: Shultz Brau Brewery, 126 Bernard Ave, Knoxville, TN 37917
Parking: Directly across from the brewery is parking, and the medical center next to that parking is available as overflow parking. Avoid parking in the Axel Logistics lot that is on Tyson st. 

 

Cheers,
Eric Cardwell
President Knoxville Electric Vehicle Association

January Monthly Meeting

January 13th, 2023, 11am

We are working on the meeting details, check back on the what when and where.

85% of all EV charging is done at home

Most EV sold today comes with a 110 volt charger. Some EVs come with a 240 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!
