Hawaii HB1980 aims to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure in state facilities.

Hawaii HB1980 establishes a goal for the state to retrofit state facilities to be electric vehicle charger-ready. It requires that at least 25% of parking stalls in new state building construction be electric vehicle charger-ready starting July 1, 2027. The Hawaii state energy office must survey existing state facilities with parking and identify high-priority facilities for retrofitting. The bill also appropriates funds for the cost assessments and installations of electric vehicle charging systems at these high-priority facilities.
