Background of Item: Florida ranks second in the nation for EV adoption with more than 280,000 electric vehicle registrations in 2023. By 2027, one in three vehicles in the U.S. will be electric and in Florida, one in five vehicles will be electric. In response to the EV market's continued growth, in 2019, FPL launched its EVolution Program, which offers customers a holistic charging solution and includes public fast charging (DC Fast/Level 3) at more than 100 locations across its service area, including major highways and less traveled roads, as well as key evacuation routes. Through this program, FPL provides equipment, installation, and maintenance at no cost. There are no impacts on the site host's electricity costs and hosts are reinforcing their commitment to sustainability by providing 100 percent renewable energy. The Office of Resilience and Sustainability in coordination with the Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Capital Improvements, Department of Real Estate and Asset Management, Department of Resilience and Public Works, General Services Administration, and the Miami Parking Authority have worked together to propose locations for the electric vehicle chargers, recommending at least one (1) DC Fast Charger installation in each Commission District. The successful deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure will enhance the City's transportation network and support the City of Miami's greenhouse gas reduction goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% from its 2018 levels by 2035 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050, by providing the necessary infrastructure to support the transition to electric vehicles.
