To make the transition to an electric lifestyle as easy as possible, we’ve created this guide with everything Florida residents need to know about driving an electric vehicle (EV), including available EV incentives, rebates, tax credits, and time-of-use electricity rates. Qmerit is your electrification partner in Florida.

Florida EV Incentives, Rebates and Tax Credits

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.
