So, this isn’t in my area of the state, but hopefully somebody will take advantage. This is part of the VW settlement.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection announced a competitive grant funding opportunity for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Funds are available for Level 3 (DC fast) charging near the following Interstate highways: I-95, I-295, I-75, I-275, and I-4. The Department intends to fund approximately 27 charging station sites along these evacuation corridors. Each site will be eligible for up to $500,000 in grant funding, and cost-share requirements may apply. Applications are due to the Department’s Division of Air Resource Management by April 7, 2020, at 5:00 PM E.T. The Request for Applications (RFA), which includes information on project eligibility and instructions for how to apply, is available on the Department’s Volkswagen Settlement webpage at the following link: http://www.floridadep.gov/volkswagen. The RFA is also available through the Vendor Bid System at the following link:http://www.myflorida.com/apps/vbs/vbs_www.main_menu.
