Nearly $7 Million Heading To Hawai‘i To Improve Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Across The State

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded Hawai‘i with a $6.9 million grant to improve charging infrastructure across the state.

“This new federal funding will make EV charging more reliable and accessible for Hawai‘i families, and help the State of Hawai‘i achieve its ambitious goals for building a clean economy,” said Senator Schatz, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.

The funding from the Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator Program will be used to repair or replace broken or non-operational electric EV chargers to improve the reliability of existing charging infrastructure.
