EV vs. Gas Cost in Florida (2026)
In Florida, gas averages about $3.83/gallon and home electricity about $0.16/kWh. Driving 13,000 miles a year, that's roughly $1,992 in gas versus about $612 to charge an EV at home — about $1,380/year before purchase price, maintenance, and resale.
The federal EV tax credit is now $0 (it ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025), so these numbers don't assume a $7,500 discount that no longer exists.
