New $3.2M EV Fast Charging Station Opens at Kapalua Airport

The Hawaii Department of Transportation has opened a new electric vehicle fast charging station at Kapalua Airport, as reported by multiple sources. The facility represents the third such installation statewide under a federal infrastructure program.

Four 150-kilowatt DC fast chargers are now operational 24/7 in the Kapalua Airport parking lot
Charging costs $0.44 per kWh during daytime hours (9am-5pm) and $0.57 per kWh during evening hours (5pm-9am)
Lower daytime rates reflect reduced electricity costs when solar power generation is higher
Installation funded through the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program
This is the third NEVI charging station in Hawaii, following locations at Kahului Park and Ride (February 2024) and Aloha Tower Marketplace on Oahu (November 2024) (Maui Now)
State plans to develop 11 NEVI charging stations across Hawaii to support growing EV adoption
