Tennessee EV Incentives & Savings
Electric vehicles with the proper decal gain access to High Occupancy Vehicle lanes statewide, regardless of the number of occupants. An additional annual registration fee is levied on electric vehicles to help fund transportation infrastructure.
Tennessee EV incentive programs
Tennessee currently has no state-level EV incentive programs for consumers. The federal Clean Vehicle Tax Credit (Section 30D, up to $7,500) expired September 30, 2025 and is no longer available for new purchases. The federal 30C residential charging credit (30% up to $1,000) remains available through June 30, 2026.
