To qualify for Level 2 EV charger rebates in Florida, requirements vary by utility provider but generally include the following key conditions:
1. Licensed Installation
Chargers must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor and comply with state/local codes.
2. Residential vs. Non-Residential Programs
Residential
- Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) offers $100 per household, limited to one rebate.
- Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) provides up to $300 for pre-wiring but does not explicitly cover the charger itself.
- Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) offers EV purchase rebates but no direct charger rebates in the provided data.
Non-Residential
- Brickell Energy’s aFLoat Program covers hardware, network services, and warranties for commercial properties, contingent on hosts covering installation costs.
- FLO provides 50% rebates (up to specified limits) on equipment, installation, and warranties for businesses/nonprofits.
3. Application Timing
Some programs (e.g., OUC’s EV purchase rebates) require applications within six months of purchase/lease, though this may not apply directly to charger rebates.
4. Charger Specifications
No specific charger models are mentioned, but all rebates apply exclusively to Level 2 chargers. Providers like FPL’s EVolution Home program include maintenance and off-peak charging defaults.
Action Required
Confirm eligibility with your local utility provider, as offerings vary. For example, FPL’s program requires enrollment in a flat-fee plan with potential termination fees.
