Florida is among the top five largest markets in the nation for EV charging, and more and more drivers are turning to electric transportation for lower ownership costs and cleaner energy choices. By 2030, it is predicted that 50% of all new car sales will be electric vehicles.
Florida has taken important steps toward an electrified transportation future. Under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the U.S. Department of Transportation will provide the Florida Department of Transportation with an estimated $198 million over five years to address EV charging needs for passenger vehicles and light–duty trucks. Funds may be used for the purchase and installation of EV charging infrastructure; operating expenses; purchase and installation of traffic control devices located in the right-of-way; on-premises signage; development activities; and mapping and analysis activities.
