Florida Electric Vehicle Roadmap

In May 2019, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Office of Energy began working on an Electric Vehicle (EV) Roadmap for the state of Florida. The goals of this roadmap are to:

• Identify EV charging infrastructure impacts on the electric grid.
• Identify solutions for any negative impacts.
• Locate areas that lack EV charging infrastructure.
• Identify best practices for siting EV charging stations.
• Identify technical or regulatory barriers to expansion of EV charging infrastructure. 

Final Report

The Florida EV Roadmap is the first comprehensive investigation into the status and needs of EV charging infrastructure in Florida. Also included in the report is a map with recommended sites for charging infrastructure to meet the growing needs of our state. There are also planning recommendations that address various topics such as permitting, emergency evacuation needs, and education.

Interim and Supplemental Reports

Three interim reports and two supplemental reports were published prior to the release of the final Florida EV Roadmap. The purpose of these reports was to provide transparency in our work process as well as provide stakeholders and the public additional opportunities for input. The reports included:

• Future EV Infrastructure and Infrastructure Models Interim Report [ 866 kB ] : This report provides a preliminary high-level technical and operational review of the current and future EVC infrastructure as well as available models used for planning.
• Emergency Evacuation of Florida Electric Vehicles Interim Report [ 1 MB ] : This report explores the opportunities and obligations our state has in supporting the evacuation and safety of a rapidly growing population of EV owners.  
• Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Recommendations Interim Report [ 1 MB ] : Based on information contained in this and previous interim reports as well as feedback from stakeholders, the following recommendations are offered for consideration. 
• Argonne National Laboratory Supplemental Analysis [ 590 kB ] : This supplemental report contains Florida-specific information and an analysis on plug-in electric vehicles in Florida.
• Electric Vehicle Owner Survey Analysis [ 308 kB ] : This supplemental report addresses the survey responses of Florida EV owners as well as outlines the methodology, results, and conclusions from the survey

Workshops and Webinars

Stakeholder engagement was the basis for the Florida EV Roadmap. It is also critical to elevating the visibility of EV infrastructure within the state and enhancing discussion on how to prepare for increased EV use.
