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 Tesla Model 3 on Home Charging
The Model 3 is the efficiency champion of this group at 4.61 mi/kWh — every kilowatt-hour takes you further, which matters most where electricity is expensive. Its 75 kWh battery adds about 53 miles of range per hour on a 48A Level 2 charger, so a typical day's driving (~37 miles) recharges in under an hour overnight. A full 0–100% home charge costs about $12.53 at 15.03¢/kWh. Cheap Florida power plus 4.61 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 Tesla Model 3 at home in Florida?
About $40.75 per month, or $489 per year, driving the U.S. average of 13,500 miles — roughly 3.6¢ 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 Tesla Model 3 cost in Florida?
About $12.53 for 0–100% (75 kWh battery, 90% charging efficiency) at 15.03¢/kWh. Most owners rarely charge from empty — a typical day’s ~37 miles costs about $1.34.
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.
How much would I save versus a gas car in Florida?
A comparable gas SUV at 28 mpg and $3.20/gal costs about $128.57/month ($1,543/year) for the same 13,500 miles. The Tesla Model 3 at 15.03¢/kWh costs about $40.75/month — saving roughly $87.82/month or $1,054/year.
