EV Charging Cost in Florida
Updated September 2026 · average residential rates
The short answer: Florida's average residential electricity rate is 15.1¢/kWh — 11% below the U.S. average, ranking #25 cheapest of 51. A Tesla Model Y costs about $12.58 to fully charge at home here (4.3¢ per mile), and home charging saves roughly $55.42/month versus a comparable gas car at 1,000 miles.
What EV owners in Florida should know
Florida pairs slightly-below-average rates with the gentlest climate penalty in the country — no real winter range loss, modest AC load — so real-world costs track this page's estimates unusually closely. FPL's off-peak EV rate sweetens overnight charging further.
