We’re excited to offer a new state-of-the-art community benefit that aligns with our organization’s sustainability goals: free electric vehicle (EV) charging. 

 

We have teamed up with Florida Power & Light on a research initiative called FPL EVolution. The goal is to help accelerate the growth of electric vehicles in our community. 

 

You can find the FREE charging stations at the following locations:

City Hall - 5800 Melaleuca Ln. (4 Charging Ports)

Community Center - 501 Swain Blvd. (4 Charging Ports)

 

Here’s how to start using the FPL EVolution charging stations in four easy steps: 

1. Download the ChargePoint app available from the Apple Store or Google Play, the ChargePoint app will let you access the FPL EVolution charging points at our location where you can charge for free. The app will also give you the ability to charge at other ChargePoint stations away from work. Some of these charging stations could require you to pay. (If you already have the ChargePoint app, skip down to step 3.)

2. Create a ChargePoint account. It’s free and easy to create an account. You will need to add a payment method to pay for charging at some locations away from work. 

3. First time users MUST Text “EV” to MYFPL (69375) to receive a link to the FPL EVolution connection.

4. Connect to FPL EVolution. This step enables you to participate in the research program, which includes free charging at this location. You will only need to connect to FPL EVolution once. As soon as the connection is established, you can hold your mobile phone near the reader to begin charging.
