EV vs gas car — annual fuel cost
The Ford E-Transit (Cargo) at home rates compared against a typical 28-mpg gas car and a 40-mpg hybrid at the Florida fuel price ($3.20/gal).
| Annual mileage | Ford E-Transit (Cargo) (home) | 28-mpg gas | 40-mpg hybrid | EV savings vs gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6,000 mi | $476 | $686 | $480 | $210 |
| 10,000 mi | $793 | $1143 | $800 | $350 |
| 12,000 mi | $951 | $1371 | $960 | $420 |

Home vs public DC fast charging
Home charging is the default cost optimization. Public DC fast charging in Florida runs about 2.8× the home rate. For 12,000 miles/yr entirely on DC fast, annual fuel cost would be $2671 vs $951 at home — a $1720 penalty. Apartment dwellers and road-trippers should price this in; daily commuters with home Level 2 can usually ignore public chargers.
DC fast rate is a network average (Electrify America + EVgo + Tesla Supercharger + ChargePoint). Real prices vary by location, time of day, and membership tier.
EV incentives in Florida
Florida does not currently run a state-level EV purchase rebate. Federal Section 30D credit of $7,500 still applies for qualifying vehicles (US-assembled with sourced battery components, MSRP cap, household income cap). Check the EV tax credit eligibility list for your vehicle. Some utilities offer charger installation rebates — check with your local utility.

- Does winter weather affect charging cost in Florida?
- Yes — cold weather can reduce EV efficiency by 15-30% (battery + heater draw). The numbers above use EPA combined ratings; budget +20% for sustained sub-freezing temps. Hot-state drivers see less impact, but AC use in extreme heat also reduces range.
