Hawaii’s first National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program EV charging station just came online on Maui. The Aloha State follows Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania in opening its NEVI-funded DC fast charging station to the public.
The NEVI program requires EV charging stations to be available every 50 miles and within one travel mile of the Alternative Fuel Corridor. (Maui has a land area of 735 square miles, is 48 miles long and 26 miles wide, because I know you were just wondering.)
They must have 24-hour public accessibility and provide restrooms, food and beverage, and shelter nearby. The Hawaii DOT chose the Kahului Park & Ride as the first site because it’s accessible 24/7 and adjacent to the Maui Alternative Fuel Corridors. Charging is free until March 10.
