Florida Electricity Rates
Florida's residential rate of about 15.03¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026) sits roughly 18% below the 18.31¢ national average. Most Floridians buy power from FPL, Duke Energy Florida or TECO, and FPL's EVolution Home program pairs a professionally installed Level 2 charger with discounted off-peak charging (about 7¢/kWh overnight as of Oct 2026). Mild winters mean your EV holds close to its rated efficiency year-round, so low rates plus no cold-weather range penalty make Florida one of the cheapest states to run an EV.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV on Home Charging
The Equinox EV's big 85 kWh battery delivers 307 miles of range at a respectable 3.61 mi/kWh. A 48A home charger adds about 41 miles per hour, so overnight charging comfortably covers even heavy daily use — the large battery means each full charge costs more, but you will do it less often. A full 0–100% home charge costs about $14.20 at 15.03¢/kWh. Cheap Florida power plus 3.61 mi/kWh efficiency makes this one of the cheapest combinations in the country to run.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to charge a Chevrolet Equinox EV at home in Florida?
About $52.04 per month, or $625 per year, driving the U.S. average of 13,500 miles — roughly 4.6¢ per mile. That assumes 100% home charging, 90% charging efficiency, and Florida’s 15.03¢/kWh residential rate (EIA, July 2026).
How much does a full charge of the Chevrolet Equinox EV cost in Florida?
About $14.20 for 0–100% (85 kWh battery, 90% charging efficiency) at 15.03¢/kWh. Most owners rarely charge from empty — a typical day’s ~37 miles costs about $1.71.
Does Florida's heat affect charging costs?
Heat is kinder than cold: you will get close to rated efficiency year-round, unlike northern states where winter cuts range 20–30%. The bigger Florida factor is hurricane season — consider a whole-home surge protector on the charger circuit, since lightning-induced surges are common here.
