Duke Energy Florida Launches New EV Incentive Programs for Homes & Businesses
Duke Energy Florida Introduces Three New Electric Vehicle Programs
Duke Energy Florida has unveiled three new initiatives—the Charger Prep Credit, Off-Peak Charging Credit, and Fleet Advisory programs—designed to give both residential and business customers more flexibility when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs).
"EVs not only help drivers save on fuel and maintenance expenses, but they also offer significant economic and environmental advantages," said Melissa Seixas, state president of Duke Energy Florida. "With these programs and their associated incentives, we aim to make EV adoption easier for our customers by addressing their unique needs while supporting the broader energy transition."
Charger Prep Credit Program (For Residential & Business Customers)
The Charger Prep Credit program provides a one-time credit to help cover the costs of installing EV charging infrastructure. This includes expenses for new electric plug-in outlets, electrical wiring upgrades, and other necessary improvements to support Level 2 or higher EV chargers. However, the credit does not apply to the cost of charging station hardware, software, or permit fees. Residential customers can find more details [here], while business customers can access information [here].
Off-Peak Charging Credit Program (For Residential Customers Only)
Residential EV owners can benefit from the Off-Peak Charging Credit program, which rewards them for charging their vehicles during periods of lower energy demand. Those using a Level 2 charger can receive a $7.50 monthly credit on their electricity bill by charging during designated off-peak hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weekdays, as well as anytime on weekends and holidays. Initially launched as a pilot program (with a cap of 3,000 participants and a substantial waitlist), this initiative is now available to all eligible customers without an enrollment limit. More details can be found [here].
Fleet Advisory Program (For Business Customers Only)
Businesses looking to transition to electric fleets can take advantage of the Fleet Advisory program, which provides up to $12,000 in funding to conduct a fleet electrification study. This study helps businesses assess how switching to EVs can reduce their carbon footprint while improving efficiency and cutting operational costs. To qualify, a company must have a fleet consisting of at least 20 light-duty vehicles, five or more medium/heavy-duty vehicles, or a combination of 10 or more across these categories.
