Are you visiting Hawaii or a neighboring island? Are you planning to purchase an EV but would like to see how it might fit into your lifestyle?

Renting an electric vehicle (or a low emission option) will offer you the opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint when you travel. Of course, you can also opt for mass transit, but this may not always be a feasible option. There is also the option of bikes, scooters. Additionally, shared mobility companies, e.g., Uber and Lyft, are now offering green rides.

Renting one might also help you decide on your next vehicle purchase. This may allow you to understand better the benefits of an EV and the driving and charging experiences. It will provide you with much more information than a brief test drive.
