The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) selected the first two sites for electric vehicle charging stations through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) funding.

By the end of 2023, eight 150kW chargers will be installed on Aloha Tower Drive fronting Pier 7 on Oʻahu and the Kahului Park & Ride on Kuihelani Highway in the vicinity of Puʻunēnē Avenue.

Additional statewide sites will be selected for charging station installations using the next two years of NEVI funding. HDOT plans to have the remainder of the 10 planned sites installed by the end of 2024.

A table showing required stations for NEVI certification follows. Note: HDOT is seeking exceptions for areas where grid capacity would not support a NEVI charger. In these areas, HDOT is planning to install Level 2 chargers.

HDOT is seeking comments on potential sites that meet the NEVI requirements and other features of the charging stations through an online survey. The survey and more information on NEVI can be found at https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/hawaii-nevi-state-plan/

The Department will use survey responses received by August 17 to build out business features of the charging locations including fee structure (i.e., flat rate or Time of Use charging).
