How the Pilot Works

The infrastructure associated with EV charging typically represents a sizable investment. Under the Pilot, Hawaiian Electric will pay for, install and maintain all the electrical infrastructure up to the charging equipment, thereby reducing the cost and complexity of the installation for the participant.

The Pilot will provide infrastructure for a minimum of four and maximum of six Level 2 charging ports. Learn more about the different charger levels.
