Florida state law preempts local regulation of EV chargers and prohibits condominiums and HOAs from banning installation. Fort Lauderdale offers monthly EV charging permits at city-owned stations for $50/month with a 4-hour maximum per session.
Florida law governs EV charging regulation statewide, preempting local government ordinances relating to EV chargers. Condominium associations and HOAs may not prohibit or restrict installation of EV chargers in a homeowner's designated parking space, though they may impose reasonable restrictions that do not significantly increase costs. Homeowners may be required to comply with safety codes, use a licensed installer, provide insurance certificates, and reimburse any increased insurance premiums. Fort Lauderdale offers public EV charging at city-owned stations with monthly permits ($50/month) or hourly rates ($5/hour via ParkMobile app) with a 4-hour maximum per session. The city has expanded its EV charging infrastructure as part of its sustainability initiatives.
Exceeding the 4-hour maximum at city-owned charging stations may result in parking citations. HOAs that illegally prohibit EV charger installation may face legal action under Florida law.
