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 Ford F-150 Lightning on Home Charging
The F-150 Lightning is the thirstiest vehicle here at 2.44 mi/kWh — but it carries a huge 131 kWh battery (320 miles of range) and can power your house during an outage. On a 48A charger it adds only ~28 miles per hour, so an 8-hour overnight session restores about 224 miles — plenty for daily use. A full 0–100% home charge costs about $21.88 at 15.03¢/kWh. Cheap Florida power keeps even this 131 kWh truck affordable to run.
