Hawaii SB1089 aims to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure in state facilities and new constructions.

Hawaii SB1089 seeks to support the growing adoption of electric vehicles by enhancing charging infrastructure. The bill mandates that at least 25% of parking stalls in new state buildings be electric vehicle charger-ready, defined as having sufficient wiring and electrical capacity for Level 2 charging. It also requires the Hawaii state energy office to survey existing state facilities and identify high-priority ones for retrofitting with charging systems.
