The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s (TDEC) Office of Energy Programs, as well as the Drive Electric Tennessee (DET), released an updated strategy guide to Tennessee’s electric transportation future by releasing the 2026 roadmap for electric vehicles in Tennessee.
According to TDEC, the roadmap is designed to “guide collaborative action” that supports electric vehicle growth.
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.
The goal updates the original DET target of 200,000 electric vehicles by 2028 to “reflect current market conditions.”
As of May 2026, Tennessee has approximately 68,000 registered electric vehicles.
