Frequently asked questions
Straightforward answers to what people usually ask before installing an EV charger or hiring an installer in Hawaii.
Yes. Hawaiian Electric says residential customers charging an EV at home may remain on their current residential rate or may qualify for a time-of-use rate. The time-of-use option can create savings when energy is used during periods when solar power is most abundant. Hawaiian Electric’s EV rates and enrollment page applies to the company’s service territories on Oʻahu, Maui County, and Hawaiʻi Island; it does not apply to Kauaʻi, which is served by Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative. Customers should compare the current rate details and eligibility before enrolling, because savings depend on household usage and charging time.
Generally, yes. A Hawaii multifamily-housing or townhouse owner may install an EV charger on or near a parking stall if the charger complies with applicable rules and specifications. The owner must register the charger with the private entity within 30 days of installation and obtain consent if it will be placed in a common area. A homeowners, community, condominium, or cooperative association may adopt rules that restrict—but may not prevent—the charger’s placement or use, and may not charge a placement fee. The charger owner remains responsible for damage related to installation, maintenance, repair, removal, or replacement.
No. Hawaii Energy’s state EV charging-station rebate program does not cover a charger that serves a single person, including a reserved parking stall or a single-family residence. The program supports eligible shared charging projects: it lists reimbursement caps of up to $2,000 for a new one-port Level 2 charger, $4,500 for a new two-port Level 2 charger, and $35,000 for new DC fast charging, subject to project-cost limits and available state funds. Rebates are first-come, first-served. Affordable-housing projects may qualify for additional amounts under separate requirements.
No. Hawaii law prohibits parking a non-EV in a designated EV space. It also prohibits parking any vehicle in an EV charging space unless the vehicle is actively charging. Violations can bring a $50 to $100 fine, court costs, and an additional $50 state reserved-parking-space enforcement fine. Counties may adopt enforcement ordinances, including requirements that charging systems in places of public accommodation be kept in working order. Posted site rules and charging-network terms may impose additional limits.
An EV owner may elect to pay Hawaii’s mileage-based road-usage charge instead of the additional registration fee. The charge is 0.8 cents per mile, capped at $50 per year. Beginning June 30, 2028, the additional registration fee expires and all EV owners must pay the state mileage-based road-usage charge, subject to the program’s other conditions. This is a statewide vehicle-registration policy; it is separate from electricity rates, charging-network pricing, and any county parking rules.
