COVER STORY
Does Knoxville Dream of Electric Cars?
With production of the Nissan Leaf gearing up in Tennessee, the age of the fully electric car appears to finally be upon us. Knoxville is one of a few select markets in the country in which the Leaf and an accompanying infrastructure of electric charging stations are being rolled out. But is there really a future for electric cars in East Tennessee? Will drivers swap their SUVs for expensive economy cars that plug in? Cari Wade Gervin takes the idea for a spin. Plus: Test-driving a Leaf.
