State guide
Florida
FL5 / 10AdoptionFlorida 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.

Net metering and solar export
Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.
- 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.
- 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.

Utility coverage for Florida is being expanded. Major utility pages will appear here as they ship.
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.
