Monteagle is about 55 miles on I-24 from Chattanooga and up Monteagle Mountain. If there were another charger between Chattanooga and there, I'd venture up. But that 8 mile hill on I-24 gives me range anxiety!

The town of Monteagle is celebrating National Plug In Day on Monday, at 10 a.m. CDT with a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new BLINK electric car charging station received through the national EV (Electric Vehicle) Project.
The new BLINK charging station will be located in front of Hannah Pickett Park behind Monteagle City Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend the ribbon cutting and hear about the new environmentally friendly addition to Monteagle’s infrastructure.
The federally-funded EV Project, which officially launched Oct. 1, 2009, will be the largest deployment of electric vehicles and charge infrastructure in history. ECOtality, project manager for the EV Project, is deploying approximately 14,000 BLINK chargers in 18 major cities and metropolitan areas located in six states and the District of Columbia: California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. Chevrolet and Nissan North America are partners in The EV Project.
Monteagle was strategically chosen to compliment the charging infrastructure triangle between Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga. Monteagle will have three local charging stations.
