Hawaiian Electric adds another public access EV Fast Charger to network in central Honolulu

HONOLULU, April 7, 2016 – Hawaiian Electric Company has opened a DC Fast Charger for electric vehicles accessible to the public at its Ward Avenue facility. It is the fifth utility-owned and operated public charging station on Oahu.

The fast charger will help eliminate “range anxiety” for residents and visitors driving EVs to and from Honolulu.  Additionally, the fast charger will serve EV owners residing in multi-unit dwellings in the Honolulu area who may not have access to EV charging in their buildings. Using a fast charging station, a near-depleted battery can be recharged to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes, less for smaller recharges. Drivers will be able to safely operate the charger and pay by credit card or by a Greenlots smartphone app.
