Public charging stations maxed at 80%. Normal?

That's not correct. Just as an example, the Yulee charger shows as 33 cents. Lake City and Daytona Speedway shows as 38 cents.

This has come up before, so to clear it up:

Ford doesn't charge a premium for charging.
Depending on the network, Ford MAY, or MAY NOT, including taxes in the posted price.

EA, and Ford, show the pre-tax pricing for EA chargers.
Tesla, and Ford, show the post-tax pricing for Tesla Superchargers.
FPL shows the pre-tax pricing. Ford shows the post-tax FPL pricing.

Taxes, and sometimes "franchise fees", are location-dependent, ranging from a few pennies to a 27% increase from 30 cents to 38 cents (I found this across from Daytona Speedway).

I stand corrected. I diddn’t know that there were differences in the added fees/taxes. AFAIK, the base price is $0.30/kw at all of the FP&L’s if using their app. I did know that Ford’s price as shown includes the extra tax and fees while FP&L doesn’t, just didn’t know those taxes/fees are not all the same throughout FL.

Yeah, they vary widely, as do the taxes and fees across the country. You can charge at an EA, drive 100 miles, and charge at EA, still in the same state, and the cost is significantly different.

Some may argue that 5 cents isn't significant. Let's assume you charge from 10 to 80%, or 70%, of a 91kWh battery. 63.7kWh (let's call it 64) x 5 cents = $3.20. Let's assume you're on a 2 day trip, with 3 stops per day. 6 charges, $19.20. Return trip, same. That's $38.40. That's dinner for two, without beers. On my Lightning, let's add 40% for the battery size. $53.76. Now that includes 2 beers...
