Duke Energy Florida recently completed its Park & Plug pilot program, installing 627 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in public spaces and on thoroughfares in Florida.
Duke Energy Florida launched the Park & Plug pilot program in 2018 to expand access to EV charging stations as part of an agreement with the Florida Public Service Commission.
“Our Florida customers deserve a cleaner and smarter energy future. Advancing the use of electric vehicles is a priority for Duke Energy that will benefit our communities and state for generations to come,” Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president, said. “This week, we are proud to note this significant milestone as we further expand EV charging and reduce carbon emissions in Florida.”
Since the launch, roughly 627 EV chargers have been installed in easily accessible locations across Florida, including 182 public level 2 chargers at local businesses, 52 DC Fast Chargers in public locations, 220 level 2 chargers in multi-unit dwellings, and 173 level 2 chargers in workplaces.
Among the locations, the fast EV chargers are installed along the U.S. 19/98 Corridor at Apalachicola, Dunedin, Crystal River, Wakulla, and Perry. They are also along U.S. 98 in Chiefland; U.S. 27 Corridor in Sebring, Avon Park, and Cagan’s Crossing; the I-4 Corridor at Deltona, Sea World, Champions Gate, and the U.S. 27 Exit; and along the Florida Turnpike at the Wildwood Exit, Turkey Lake Turnpike Service Plaza, and Canoe Creek Turnpike Service Plaza.
Duke Energy Florida exceeded the goal set by the commission of installing at least 53 in low-income areas, installing 83 in these areas.
