JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Northeast Tennessee's first non-Tesla fast charger for electric vehicles is on track to go in a downtown Johnson City parking lot just off of Interstate 26's Main Street exit (Exit 23). BrightRidge, which qualified last July for a $300,000 grant to install a 'Level 3' charger, has arranged a lease with Johnson City to put the charger at the northeast corner of the Cherry Street parking lot. The space is at the corner of North Roan Street and State of Franklin Road, and if approved Thursday by Johnson City Commissioners, BrightRidge's lease will be $1 a year.
