An electric vehicle (EV) is a car propelled by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in one or more rechargeable batteries.
In Florida, electric vehicles (EVs) are subject to several regulations and incentives designed to promote their use and address the environmental concerns associated with traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Florida law defines electric vehicles and regulates their operation on public roads. EV owners in Florida may benefit from various state incentives, such as rebates or tax credits for purchasing electric vehicles or installing EV charging stations, access to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes regardless of the number of passengers, and reduced rates on toll roads. Additionally, Florida has adopted regulations for the installation and operation of EV charging stations, and some local governments may have their own additional regulations or incentives. It's important to note that federal law also provides incentives for electric vehicle ownership, such as a federal income tax credit for qualified EV purchases.
