Chattanooga Could Land Electric Car Plug-in Site
Governor Phil Bredesen marked Earth Day 2009 by highlighting the combined potential of solar and electric vehicle technologies in Tennessee.
After test driving an all-electric vehicle that Nissan shipped from Japan, he encouraged Nissan, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and TVA to work together on future projects. One of those would be the development of solar-powered charging stations in Chattanooga, Nashville, and Knoxville.
Nissan is expected to introduce electric vehicles for U.S. commercial and government fleets in late 2010 and for mass market globally by 2012. The Japanese automaker has a plant in Smyrna, Tennessee which is near Murfreesboro.
