EV charging in Orlando, Florida

Orlando's charging network is anchored by Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) and private operators, with Florida's NEVI plan supporting corridor fast charging. OUC operates public ReCharge Mobility Hubs and maintains a large Level 2 footprint across the region, while FDOT's 2024 NEVI update advances interstate coverage and reliability standards.

Coverage is concentrated downtown, along the I-4 and International Drive tourist corridor, Lake Nona's medical campus, and neighborhood centers. Networks include OUC, ChargePoint, Tesla, Electrify America, and EVgo across garages, retail centers, workplaces, and hotels. Two high-profile hubs - the Robinson ReCharge hub downtown and the Orange County Convention Center site - serve rapid top-ups.

PlugMapper aggregates live status and access info from reliable sources, helping drivers pick the right connector and speed. Data emphasizes public availability, pricing transparency, and 24/7 access where offered.
