Duke Energy Florida has introduced three new programs aimed at expanding electric vehicle (EV) options for both residential and business customers. The initiatives, named the Charger Prep Credit, Off-Peak Charging Credit, and Fleet Advisory programs, are designed to enhance accessibility to EVs and promote their economic and environmental benefits.
Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president, emphasized the broader advantages of EVs: “Not only do EVs help save on fuel and maintenance costs for drivers, but they have significant economic and environmental benefits as well. Our goal with these programs and the various incentives they offer is to make EVs more accessible for all of our customers, helping meet their individual needs while contributing to the ongoing energy transition.”
The Charger Prep Credit program offers a one-time credit to both residential and business customers to offset costs associated with installing necessary infrastructure for Level 2 or higher EV chargers. This includes electrical upgrades but excludes charging station hardware, software, and permit fees.
For residential customers only, the Off-Peak Charging Credit program provides financial incentives for charging EVs during low-demand periods. Customers using a Level 2 charger can earn a $7.50 monthly credit by charging between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., or anytime on weekends and holidays.
Business customers can benefit from the Fleet Advisory program by receiving up to $12,000 towards conducting fleet electrification studies. These studies aim to evaluate how transitioning fleet vehicles to EVs can reduce carbon footprints while improving cost efficiency.
Duke Energy Florida serves approximately two million customers across its service area in Florida with an energy capacity of 12,300 megawatts. As part of Duke Energy's broader strategy, these programs align with efforts toward a cleaner energy future through investments in grid upgrades and renewable resources.
More information about these programs is available on Duke Energy's website.
