A Comprehensive Guide To Florida EV Incentives, Tax Credits & Rebates

As the state with the second-most EV registrations, Florida is quickly becoming an electrification leader. While there aren’t any state-level tax credits, rebates, or incentives for EVs in Florida, you can still benefit from incentives offered by utility providers for EV purchases/leases and EV charger installations.

For example, Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) provides rebates of $200 to residential customers who purchase or lease an eligible new or preowned EV. Applicants must apply within six months of the purchase or lease of the EV. OUC customers may also receive a $50 gift card when they test drive an EV at a participating dealership. For more information, see the OUC Electric Vehicles website.

Be sure to check with your local utility to see what programs or offerings are available in your area.

High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane Access

EV drivers can apply for a High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) tag to save time and access added convenience while driving. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles allows Inherently Low Emission Vehicles (ILEV) and Hybrid vehicles to drive in a HOV lane at any time regardless of passenger occupancy.

The vehicle must display a Florida Division of Motor Vehicles issued decal, which must be renewed annually. Special fees may apply. For more information, see the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles HOV Decal website.

Are There Free Public EV Charging Stations in Florida?

Yes, you can typically find free charging ports on Florida college campuses and in parking lots for public buildings, airports, convention centers, and more.

The Southeast region and the Panhandle also have many EV charging options in the coastal areas.

However, Florida is actively developing its EV charging infrastructure with diverse projects, including a toll road that would charge EVs while they drive in Central Florida.

Tesla has built a Supercharger network of fast charging stations throughout the state, with locations approximately 150 miles apart along I-75 and I-95.

Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Map of EV Charging Station Locations in Florida, which can be sorted and filtered based on public access, charger type (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast), and connector type (NACS, J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO).

Florida is offering home energy rebates funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, making $173 million for home efficiency rebates and $172 million for home electrification available for things like appliance rebates, insulation and air sealing, heat pumps for space and water heating, and upgrades to smart electrical panels necessary to enable those retrofits.

Combining EV ownership with other electrification projects, such as upgrading your home with solar panels & battery storage, or investing in a heat pump, will help you save even more while reducing your environmental impact.

In Florida, you may qualify for home electrification incentives through your electricity provider. Scroll down to read rebate and incentive details for specific home electrification technologies.

Heat Pumps & Heat Pump Water Heaters

Orlando Utilities Commission customers can receive rebates up to $1,150 for new heat pump installs with SEER2 rating of 22.0.
