Florida EV drivers can earn $7.50 a month for off-peak charging as credits top $1.5 million

Florida EV owners can earn monthly bill credits by charging during designated off-peak hours, with Duke Energy Florida reporting more than $1.5 million paid since the program started. The Off-Peak Charging Credit program launched in 2022 and targets residential drivers statewide. Weekday off-peak windows run 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., while weekends and holidays qualify at any hour. Eligible customers using a Level 2 charger can receive a $7.50 monthly credit, up to $90 per year for one enrolled EV. With up to two vehicles per household account, savings could reach $180 annually. The utility says it helps spread electricity demand more evenly.
