EV Charging in Florida

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.

Policy details

EV time-of-use rates

some utilities

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 / solar+EV

full retail

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

Statute on books

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.

EV registration fees

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 0804 was filed again for the 2026 session.

Public charging network

Tesla Supercharger, Electrify America, ChargePoint, and EVgo are all active in Florida. NEVI funding is targeted at corridor buildout along I-95, I-75, I-10, I-4, and the Florida Turnpike, with a 50-mile spacing standard. Miami, Orlando, and Tampa metros have the highest charger density.

Station-network counts for Florida will appear here once the next AFDC ingest runs.

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. NEVI Program funds are flowing through FDOT for highway corridor charging, though Florida has been slow to obligate awarded funds.
