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 Y on Home Charging
The Model Y pairs crossover practicality with strong 4.36 mi/kWh efficiency. Its 75 kWh pack adds roughly 50 miles of range per hour on a 48A Level 2 setup, covering a typical day's ~37 miles in about 45 minutes of overnight charging. A full 0–100% home charge costs about $12.53 at 15.03¢/kWh. Cheap Florida power plus 4.36 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 Y at home in Florida?
About $43.09 per month, or $517 per year, driving the U.S. average of 13,500 miles — roughly 3.8¢ 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 Y 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 $1.42.
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.
