Good question! Electric cars need to have valid tags to drive in Florida. However, they are eligible for some other exemptions.
Even though Florida is one of the states that
buys the most electric cars
, they still need to have tags. The good news for electric vehicles in Florida is that they can save some money.
Although they still need to have registration, electric cars are eligible for a HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) decal that lets them drive in a carpool lane. This can save you a lot of time. It also gets you into the express lanes on the 1-95 for free.
Florida has some awesome tax
incentives
, including a $7,500 tax credit from the federal government if you buy an electric vehicle under 14,000 pounds. Orlando and Jacksonville also have bonus incentives you might be able to qualify for with an electric car.
Whether your car runs on gasoline or electric power you always need insurance.
