Tennessee statutes regulate electric vehicle charging infrastructure, parking enforcement at charging stalls, and IFTA-equivalent fees, with consistent statewide treatment of public charging access.
Tenn. Code Ann. Section 55-8-160 and Title 65 provisions govern public EV charging. State law allows parking enforcement against non-EVs occupying charging-only stalls when properly signed. Tennessee imposes an annual electric vehicle registration fee under Tenn. Code 55-4-116 to offset lost gas tax revenue. The Tennessee Valley Authority and state agencies coordinate charging deployment along designated corridors. Municipal governments may install meters and set time limits but must conform to state signage standards for any preferential parking enforcement.
Improperly parking a non-EV in a marked charging stall may result in citations or towing where signage meets state standards.
