EV Charging Installation for Longboat Key & Manatee County Condos

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 eligibility. Every install is eligible for listing in the Tesla app once commissioned by a Tesla Certified Installer with reliable connectivity (Tesla makes the final listing decision), so it can route 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.

Sarasota-Bradenton commercial properties: multifamily and hotels

Beyond Longboat Key condos, Florida Chargers serves commercial properties across the Sarasota-Bradenton market. Multifamily communities along the US-41 and I-75 corridors, Lakewood Ranch, and east Bradenton decide on charging at the owner level, because Fla. Stat. 718.113 governs condominiums rather than rental apartments. A common starting ratio is roughly one Level 2 port per 20 to 30 units, sized to existing panel capacity.

Hotels on Siesta Key, Lido Key, Anna Maria Island, and downtown Sarasota serve drive-market guests arriving from Tampa, Orlando, and the Midwest. Chargers eligible for Tesla app listing (Tesla makes the final listing decision) can put the property in front of drivers already planning a charging stop, and overnight dwell time suits Level 2. Most of Sarasota and Manatee is FPL territory, where the EVolution Make-Ready Credit provides up to $1,200 per Level 2 port, first-come until the program budget is depleted; Florida Chargers confirms the utility at the meter. See apartment EV charging and hotel EV charging.

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 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 condominium EV charger law.
