Florida is EV‑friendly, with fast‑charging corridors along major routes. With the right plan, an Orlando‑to‑Miami (and onward to the Upper Keys) drive is smooth and scenic. Start by choosing an Orlando car rental with the range and trunk space you need for luggage and charging accessories.
Route snapshots
- Orlando → Miami: The Turnpike and I‑95 corridors offer frequent service areas and urban charging options.
- Miami → Upper Keys: Expect more spacing between stations—top up in Miami before heading south on US‑1.
Charging strategy
- Plan legs around fast chargers near major interchanges and shopping areas; charge while you grab meals.
- Top up at your hotel overnight whenever available, then depart with a cushion.
- Carry your network apps, a backup RFID card, and your vehicle’s included adapters.
Parking & time savers
- Choose shopping‑center chargers for easy restrooms and food options.
- In dense areas, set a 90% cap to speed up sessions and move on.
- Watch for time‑of‑day pricing at some urban stations.
