Florida Power & Light Unlimited EV Charging

[White Lightning]

This seems like a good option for high kWh users. Unlimited EV charging for $38/month if FPL installs the 240V circuit, $31/month if you do it yourself or already have one. >15 off-peak hours/day. It does appear you may have to use their charger, which could be a deal-breaker if you want to use the Charge Station Pro.

• From November through March, off-peak hours are Monday through Friday 10:00 pm to 6:00 am and 10:00 am to 6:00 pm; all weekends; and the holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.

• From April through October, off-peak hours are 9:00 pm to 12:00 pm; all weekends; and the holidays of Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day.

• Customers can charge during on-peak hours but will be billed at a rate of 22.87¢ /kWh in addition to the monthly service payment.

• Consistent with the charging equipment’s expected useful life, the program term is 10 years.

• Customers will be able to terminate the subscription before the end of the term but will be subject to an early termination fee, approximately $768.48, to cover the costs of uninstalling and removing the equipment, and redeployment costs.

• At the end of the program term, ownership of the Level 2 charging equipment transfers to the program participant at no cost.

I wish Duke was doing something like this. They do have a waitlist for a discount for only charging at night but it is only for like $20 off a month..

Duke in North Carolina is currently running a trial where they get the charging info from Ford. You don’t need a specific EVSE. Maybe if that is successful they will roll it out to their other markets. It’s a fixed cost of either $20 or $25 a month (depending on location) for up to 800 kWh. I started a thread on it and if I get time today I plan to add info from the first billing cycle.

The only issue with the FPL plan is there is a 10 year commitment. Early termination fees are around $800.

If you are young enough and expect to live in your house for the 10 years it's a great deal. I don't meet either of these expectations.

According to the Social Security Actuarial chart my life expectancy is 9.32 years.

Resurrecting this as I'm considering this program. Unlimited off-peak charging is quite attractive. The 10-year commitment is a concern, but there is this detail in the FAQs.

• After five years of participation, you can also choose to purchase the equipment at a cost equivalent to the remaining net book value.

I will call tomorrow to verify what this means. I'm hoping that the remaining net value of the charging equipment would be reasonable after 5 years.

If I drive about 12,000 miles per year and pay ~$0.15/kWh, this program should save about $560 in annual electrical cost, with the charger and installation thrown in for free.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone else has done this since? I have a neighbor with a Tesla that is on it, but I haven't been able to connect up with him yet to get his thoughts. My wife's coworker opted NOT to do it for his Tesla. He has solar and didn't feel like it was worth it for the cost/term commitment.
