    Apartment EV Charging in Florida

    Florida Chargers installs turnkey Tesla EV charging for apartment communities across Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Under the Share the Revenue program, the property pays little to nothing upfront and earns a recurring share of charging revenue. Financing is available for qualified properties to lease the electrical infrastructure and installation with no money down.

    Apartments are not condos, and that is an advantage. Florida Statute 718.113 governs condominium associations under Chapter 718 — it does not apply to rental apartment communities. The decision to install EV charging at an apartment community is the owner's alone, which is why apartment communities can move faster than condos on the same install.

    Why apartment EV charging pays off now

    Florida has 450,400 registered electric vehicles — second only to California's 1,843,100, out of 5,689,100 nationwide (U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center, 2025 data derived by the National Laboratory of the Rockies from Experian Information Solutions). Apartment residents already drive them, and more plan to.

    Meets real resident demand

    In a 2024 SWTCH Energy survey of 1,567 multifamily residents across Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami/Tampa, 62% said they plan to own or drive an EV within five years when charging is available at their property — versus 25% when it is not.

    A retention lever, not just an amenity

    In the same SWTCH Energy 2024 survey, 31% of residents who do not own an EV cited the lack of charging at their building as a barrier to getting one. A resident who charges at home is a resident with a reason to renew.

    Owner decision, not a board vote

    Florida Statute 718.113 governs condominium associations under Chapter 718. It does not apply to rental apartment communities. Apartment owners can move without an association vote, board approval, or membership meeting.

    Truly turnkey

    Florida Chargers handles design, permits, install, commissioning, billing, monitoring, driver support, and on-site maintenance. On-site staff never manages the equipment.

    What a turnkey apartment install includes

    One vendor, one contract, one local team — from first site walk to ongoing maintenance.

    • Tesla Universal Wall Connector — Level 2, NACS plus built-in J1772, charges every EV on the road
    • Listed on the Tesla app so nearby drivers are routed to the property
    • Site design, electrical load study, and parking layout
    • Permitting and utility coordination
    • Licensed electrical installation and commissioning (FL EC13009718)
    • Networked billing through the Tesla app at the rate the property sets
    • Ongoing monitoring, driver support, and on-site maintenance

    How it's structured

    One program: Share the Revenue. Florida Chargers confirms the exact economics for a property during the free site assessment.

    Share the revenue

    Little to nothing upfront, revenue from day one

    Florida Chargers co-invests and owns/operates the chargers. The apartment community pays little to nothing upfront and earns a share of every charging session. Florida Chargers handles everything from design through ongoing maintenance.

    • Little to no upfront cost
    • Recurring share of charging revenue
    • Zero operational burden on on-site staff

    Financing also available for qualified properties — lease the electrical infrastructure and installation with no money down.

    What it costs

    Typical installed cost for apartment EV charging in Florida runs $5,000–$8,000 per port before incentives. Where a community lands depends on trenching distance from the electrical panel, available panel capacity, pedestal vs. wall-mount, and total charger count. Networked Tesla Universal Wall Connectors load-share on existing circuits, which often avoids a service upgrade.

    Florida Chargers factors available utility programs and federal incentives into every proposal — including FPL and Duke Energy make-ready programs where eligible and the federal 30C tax credit where it applies — so the owner sees a real net number on day one.

    How it works

    From first call to energized chargers — on-site staff does not manage the details.

    1

    Free site assessment

    Florida Chargers walks the parking, checks electrical capacity, and sizes a first phase that matches resident demand — typically one Level 2 port per 20–30 units.

    2

    Design, permit, build

    Engineering, permits, utility coordination, trenching, install, and commissioning — typically 6–12 weeks from signed agreement to energized chargers.

    3

    Residents charge, you earn

    Residents and public drivers pay through the Tesla app at the rate the property sets. Florida Chargers handles billing, monitoring, and on-site maintenance.

    Apartment EV charging FAQ

    A common starting point for Florida apartment communities is roughly one Level 2 port per 20–30 units, with room to expand. The right first phase depends on the resident mix, parking layout, and the electrical capacity already available at the property. Florida Chargers sizes the first phase during the free site assessment so the install matches real demand rather than a guess.

    Typical installed cost for Florida apartment communities runs $5,000–$8,000 per port before incentives. Where a property lands depends on trenching distance from the electrical panel, available panel capacity, pedestal vs. wall-mount, and total charger count. Utility make-ready programs and the federal 30C tax credit reduce the net number where they apply.

    Usually no. Networked Tesla Universal Wall Connectors load-share on the circuits already available at the property, which often avoids a service upgrade. The load study during the free site assessment confirms exactly how many ports the existing service can carry before any panel work is needed.

    Drivers pay. Residents and any public users pay through the Tesla app at the per-kWh rate the property sets, and Florida Chargers reconciles the revenue automatically. Electricity is not a line item the apartment community absorbs.

    Residents pay through the Tesla app on a per-session, per-kWh basis at the rate the property sets — no separate meter, no submetering vendor, no reimbursement paperwork. The property receives a recurring share of every charging session under the Share the Revenue model.

    Yes. The Tesla Universal Wall Connector is a Level 2 AC charger with a native NACS connector and a built-in J1772 adapter, so every EV sold in North America can plug in. Non-Tesla drivers pay through the Tesla app the same way Tesla drivers do.

    Typically 6–12 weeks from signed agreement to energized chargers, depending on local permitting and utility timelines. Because rental apartment communities do not require an association vote or board approval process, the timeline is not extended by governance steps that apply to condominiums under Chapter 718.

    No. Florida Statute 718.113 governs condominium associations under Chapter 718 and does not apply to rental apartment communities. The decision to install EV charging at an apartment community is the owner's alone — no vote, no board approval, no membership meeting.

    Florida Chargers monitors every charger 24/7 over the network, dispatches on-site service when needed, and handles driver support directly through the Tesla app. Apartment staff does not open tickets, hold spare parts, or troubleshoot hardware.

    Yes. When the property allows public access, chargers appear on the Tesla app and route nearby drivers to the community, producing charging revenue from non-residents on top of resident use. The property sets whether access is resident-only, public, or gated by hours, and Florida Chargers configures the network to match.
