Are electric cars legal in Nashville?

I live in Nashville, Tennessee, and I want to buy an electric car, but I don’t see many of them around. Are EVs even legal in here?

Fear not! Not only are
electric cars
legal in Nashville, but there are actually ongoing initiatives driven by the Tennessee State government, private businesses, and advocacy groups to increase the number of electric vehicles on the roads of your city and state. Sure, Tennessee hasn’t jumped in the electric revolution with as much gusto as, say,
California
. But the state’s charging network continues to grow, with over 300 charging stations already set up around Nashville alone. You might not notice electric cars on the roads, but they’re definitely there. A few models, like the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro look very similar to regular cars, so it might be hard to spot them. Plus, electric cars are very quiet machines, making them even less conspicuous on city streets. If you have any more questions about electric cars or
