ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Given the Sunshine State has the second-highest electric vehicle (EV) registrations in the nation, Duke Energy Florida is reminding EV-driving customers about the range of programs the company offers to help them save money. For instance, since the Off-Peak Charging Credit program launched in 2022, enrolled customers have received a collective $1.5 million – in the form of bill credits – for changing their charging behavior.
How it works:
Duke Energy Florida's Off-Peak Charging Credit program allows customers to get paid for charging their EVs during times when demand for energy is typically lower. Eligible customers using a Level 2 charger can earn a $7.50 credit on their monthly electric bills for charging their EVs during these off-peak hours – 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday and anytime on weekends and holidays.
Our view:
"We're always looking for ways to help our customers save money," said Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president. "For EV drivers, participating in the Off-Peak Charging Credit program is a simple, almost effortless way to lower their monthly bills, so we encourage all eligible customers to sign up and start taking advantage of it today."
Learn more:
The Off-Peak Charging Credit program is available to all Duke Energy Florida residential customers, and up to two EVs can be enrolled per account. For more information and to apply for the program, please visit duke-energy.com/OffPeak.
