The bill amends section 125.0103 of the Florida Statutes to require counties to establish maximum rates for the removal and storage of electric vehicles from accident scenes. Specifically, these rates may be set at up to three times the rates charged by wrecker operators for gasoline or diesel vehicles, applicable in situations where the electric vehicle owner is incapacitated, unavailable, or does not consent to the vehicle's removal. Additionally, the bill allows wrecker operators to charge actual costs plus 15 percent for the cleanup of accident scenes involving electric vehicles, including any hazardous materials or debris.

This legislation aims to address the unique challenges associated with the removal and storage of electric vehicles, ensuring that appropriate pricing structures are in place while also providing wrecker operators with the ability to cover the costs of cleanup. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
