What EV Incentives Are Available in Hawaii?
Despite being an ideal location for EVs with short-distance travel and warm weather, unfortunately Hawaii offers no incentives for electric vehicles at this time.
However, we update this post regularly, so check back to see if that changes.
Incentives for Purchasing an EV in Hawaii
Hawaii does not offer incentives for the purchase of a new electric vehicle but there may be post-purchase incentives available from utilities or consumer organizations. Read on to learn about any initiatives that are in place.
Other EV Incentives Offered in Hawaii
There may be post-purchase EV incentives available in Hawaii, depending on available funds. The relevant initiatives include:
- Hawaii Energy offers thousands of dollars in rebates to businesses installing networked EV charging hardware. While this program has a primarily commercial focus, individuals are included among the list of potential applicants to be considered.
- Customers can also review Hawaiian Electric residential rates for preferential time-of-use (TOU) electricity pricing, which can make charging an EV cheaper during periods of reduced power demand.
