Florida

FL5 / 10Adoption

Florida ranks among the top five states by total EV volume but has limited state-level incentives. Utility programs from FPL and Duke Energy Florida are the primary residential drivers, while NEVI corridor funding through FDOT is the backbone of public DC fast buildout. Senate Bill 1084 (2024) preempted local EV charging regulation to the state.

Summary
Florida Power & Light, the state's largest IOU, offers the FPL EVolution Home program with time-of-use energy charges launching in summer 2026, plus an existing voluntary residential TOU rate. Duke Energy Florida and Tampa Electric offer voluntary residential TOU plans. Municipal utilities such as JEA and OUC publish their own schedules; EV-specific overnight pricing is not universal.

Net metering and solar export

Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.

Net metering / solar + EVfull retail
Status
full retail
Summary
Florida's investor-owned utilities (FPL, Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric, Florida Public Utilities) credit residential net metering exports at the full retail rate. Governor DeSantis vetoed House Bill 741 in April 2022, which would have phased out net metering by 2029; the existing 1:1 retail-rate structure remains in place. Monthly credits roll forward and are paid out annually at the avoided cost rate.

Right to charge

Whether an HOA or landlord can block a home charger install.

Statutory protectionStatute on the books
Statute
Fla. Stat. § 718.113(8)
Applies to
condo
What it does
Florida's Condominium Act bars condo associations from enforcing any declaration or restrictive covenant that prohibits a unit owner from installing an EV charging station within the unit's limited common element or exclusively designated parking area. The owner pays installation, maintenance, and electricity costs, must separately meter the station, carry liability insurance, and comply with applicable codes. The protection does not extend to single-family HOAs or rentals.

Florida has no EV-specific registration surcharge. SB 28 (2024) and CS/CS/HB 107 would have imposed a $200 annual EV fee but died in committee; SB 804, refiled for the 2026 session, died in the Senate Transportation Committee on March 13, 2026.

Context

Regulatory environment

Florida has not adopted California's Advanced Clean Cars II standards and has no statewide ZEV sales mandate. Senate Bill 1084 (2024), signed in May 2024 and effective July 1, 2024, preempted regulation of EV charging stations to the state, blocking local governments from enacting or enforcing EV charging ordinances. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) issued final implementing rules effective May 1, 2025, with a registration deadline of December 1, 2025. FDOT has proposed redirecting most of Florida's NEVI apportionment away from car charging toward an "Aerial Highway Network" of eVTOL aircraft landing and charging pads; the plan is pending FHWA approval as of July 2026.

Florida EV Charger Rebates: Duke vs. FPL

Florida has no statewide home-charger rebate, and the federal 30C credit ended June 30, 2026. What is left are two utility programs built on opposite ideas: Duke Energy Florida reimburses up to $819 of the electrical work for a charger you buy and own, while FPL's EVolution Home supplies the charger, installation and maintenance for $27 or $36 a month on a 10-year agreement, with metered energy billed on top. Which one fits depends on whether you want to own the hardware, how long you will stay in the house, and which utility serves your address.
