Power up on the cheap, while you sleep.
A whopping 80% of EV charging happens at home.* It’s convenient and cost-effective thanks to TVA’s low electricity rates. All EVs come with a Level 1 charging cable that you can plug into an ordinary power outlet. Most EV owners recommend having a professional install a dedicated Level 2 charger.

Know your EV charging levels.
Just like you choose your octane at the gas pump, you choose your juice at the plug! There are three ways to charge your EV: Level 1 (120-volt), Level 2 (240-volt) and DC fast charging.
Level 1: These chargers plug into a regular 120-volt home outlet, just like the one you use to charge your phone or power your TV.
Level 2: Professionally installed 240-volt chargers can fully charge an empty battery-only EV (BEV) at home or on the road in 4-10 hours.
Fast Charging: Direct current (DC) public chargers are intended for quick stops on long road trips and can fill up an empty battery in 20-60 minutes.

Going on a road trip?
Meet the Fast Charge Network. We’re collaborating with state agencies, local power companies and third-party charging developers to place fast charging stations at least every 50 miles along major travel corridors in the seven-state region.
