    EV Charging Installation for Longboat Key & Manatee County Condos

    Short answer: Florida Chargers is a Tesla-certified installer serving Longboat Key, Sarasota, Bradenton, and Manatee County condos, HOAs, and resorts with full-service commercial EV charging — designed, permitted, installed, and managed end-to-end.

    Why coastal Manatee County properties choose us

    • Built for the coast. Salt air is unforgiving. We spec corrosion-resistant, weather-rated equipment and choose mounting, conduit, and enclosure details that survive Gulf-side conditions long-term.
    • FPL territory experience. Longboat Key and most of Manatee County sit in FPL service area. We've coordinated commercial make-ready work with FPL and know how to move a project through their process without surprises.
    • Tesla app visibility. Every install lists your property on the Tesla app, routing nearby EV drivers — locals and visiting guests — directly to your parking lot.
    • End-to-end scope. Design, permits, utility coordination, install, commissioning, billing, driver support, and on-site maintenance. One vendor, one number to call.

    What it costs

    Typical installed cost runs $5,000–$8,000 per port before incentives. Coastal sites can sit higher in the range when trenching crosses landscaped grounds or when panel capacity is tight. We confirm a real number after a free on-site assessment — and we factor any available utility and federal incentive programs into the proposal.

    The law is on your side

    Florida Statute §718.113(9) lets a condo association install common-area EV charging without the unit-owner vote normally required for material alterations. For Longboat Key associations weighing whether to add charging, that's a meaningful procedural simplification. See our full guide to Florida HOA EV charging law.

    Ways to pay

    • Share the revenue. Florida Chargers co-invests and operates the system; the property earns a share of charging revenue with less upfront cost.
    • Financing. Available for qualified properties to lease the electrical infrastructure and installation with no money down.

    Generally, yes. Florida Statute §718.113(9) specifies that the association's installation of EV charging on common elements is not a material alteration, so the unit-owner vote normally required for material alterations is not required. Boards should still have their attorney review the specific declaration.

    Typical installed cost runs $5,000–$8,000 per port before incentives. The exact number depends on trenching distance, panel capacity, pedestal vs. wall mount, total chargers, and surface type. Utility and federal incentive programs are factored into each proposal.
