The new 2026 Roadmap for Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Tennessee has been released, building on progress since the initial strategy was implemented in 2019. The updated guide incorporates recent industry data and lessons learned in project implementation to clarify priorities and guide action across Tennessee over the next 10 years. The plan is a statewide collaboration between the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s (TDEC) Office of Energy Programs (OEP), with partners in the Drive Electric Tennessee (DET). The Roadmap includes new and expanded goals for transportation electrification, including a goal to support the deployment of 750,000 light-duty EVs in Tennessee by 2035.
