The draft law is modelled on the fuel tax and would require operators of public fast-charging stations to collect this tax on behalf of the state as part of the charging price. The tax will not apply to all charging stations, however. As it stands, the levy will not apply to private wallboxes, AC charging points in company car parks, or public AC chargers. Tennessee has already introduced an annual fee for electric vehicles, hybrids, and plug-in hybrids since 2024. By 2027, the fee for electric vehicles will rise to $274 per year, as reported by the portal Tennessee Lookout.
