An amendment to FL Senate Bill 864 filed by FL Senator Darren Soto, D-Orlando on 2/12/15 would exempt electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles from the FL sales tax effective July 1, 2015. I don't have a clue if it has a snowball's chance in H of being enacted, nor do I know if there's a companion FL House of Representatives bill. Here's the applicable language:
Electric and hydrogen vehicles.—The sale of an electric vehicle or a hydrogen vehicle is exempt from the tax imposed by this chapter. As used in this paragraph, the term “electric vehicle” means a motor vehicle that is powered solely by electricity produced by rechargeable storage batteries, and the term “hydrogen vehicle” means a motor vehicle that is powered solely by hydrogen used in a fuel cell or an internal combustion engine. This paragraph expires June 30, 2020.
Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2015
