Charging in Florida compared with other states
Florida’s residential rate is the 15th cheapest of 51 states and DC, 3.2¢ below the US average of 18.3¢ (−18%). Florida’s rate is down 0.3¢ from June 2025 (15.4¢, −1.6%).
Ways to spend less
- Ask your utility about a time-of-use or EV rate and schedule charging for off-peak hours; the car or charger can do it automatically.
- Precondition the cabin while the car is still plugged in, so heating or cooling comes from the grid instead of the battery.
- Keep tires at the pressure on the door-jamb sticker; underinflated tires raise consumption.
- Drive 100 fewer miles a month: saves $3.49 at 15.1¢ per kWh.
