We're looking for your EV stories!

There are over 12,000 registered EVs in Tennessee! Many electric vehicle drivers in our state are passionate about their vehicles and are keen to share their stories. We want to hear your story, too! We’ve come up with a relatively easy list of questions for you to answer, about you, your EV, and your thoughts on EVs as the future of transportation in the United States. Once you’ve submitted your answers, we’ll look over them and get in touch with you. If your story is selected, you’ll be featured in an article on our TN EV Stories page!

Please don’t feel obligated to answer every question! If we can get 10-15 amazing answers per submission, we’ll be really happy. Additionally, if you would prefer to email us a short narrative about your EV story, we would be happy to have that as well! Thanks so much for sharing your story with us.
