Unfortunately, much of the Panhandle has subpar CCS charging. I tried petitioning FPL and Fort Waltons chamber of commerce to add CCS chargers to drive tourism to the bar district, but so far no dice. Charging at home is by far the best option around here.

Just saw this post.. a little inside info as I have contacts @ FPL... They have desperately tried to put chargers up in the FL panhandle but they can't get locations... seems th "public" in that region is a little anti EV (I know my brother lives up there).. they told me they haven't been able to find people willing to let them put Fast Chargers on their property... But some good news, they are getting at least a few up there as I was told "soon" ?

The finest beaches on the planet imo.

That's a bummer. There's an empty lot across from Boardroom and the Surf Shop that could easily fit some sharing spots. Or even the publix parking lot. Both would be in close proximity to the bars/food and the bridge to Okaloosa/Destin. Easy way to get folks to stop while on their way to hotels.

You are right that locals aren't always EV friendly, which is ironic, with all the military bases nearby there's actually a ton of EVs on the road here, many more than you'd expect.
