The C2 device will help the Tennessee Valley Authority, Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation and Nashville Electric Service see hotspots for electric vehicle charging. This information is critical in understanding how electric vehicles will affect the entire charging network. The device plugs right into your EV unlocking powerful information about your vehicle’s charger and battery use, which you’ll be able to see, too.
We’re asking EV owners in Nashville to help pave the way for a more reliable charging network. Will you join us?
Participants will receive $50 for keeping the device installed until the end of the program on 30th September 2021. The C2 device is discrete and goes unnoticed by most drivers. So the only catch, keeping the C2 plugged in, shouldn’t be a problem.

SmartCharge Rewards is a connected car EV platform that allows organizations and individuals to gather useful data insights from electric vehicles while also rewarding EV drivers for participation in utility EV programs using SmartCharge Rewards.
Participants will install a small device in their vehicle that automatically collects and transmits vehicle information via a cellular connection.
You are eligible for this program if you are a customer of either Nashville Electric Service or Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Cooperative, and own or lease a plug-in electric vehicle – either a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or battery electric vehicle.
A conventional hybrid operates only on gasoline. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle can be connected to an external electric source to charge its battery. If your vehicle can be plugged in, you may be eligible to join the SmartCharge Nashville program.

The C2 is a connected car device that was developed to give electric vehicle drivers access to a wealth of information about their cars like driving efficiency, battery health, and more. It makes EV data access easy, comparable, and shareable.
The C2 gathers data directly from your vehicle’s internal systems, processes it, and makes it available to you via a mobile-friendly dashboard called SmartCharge Rewards.
The device is very easy to install, simply plugging into your vehicle’s on-board diagnostics (OBD-II) port or Tesla diagnostics connector. The OBD-II port is typically located below the steering wheel and is the same port mechanics plug into for diagnostic checks.
