Accelerating Hawaii’s transition to a sustainable transportation future.
EV Adoption in Hawaii - We’re over 38,000 passenger EVs!
As of July 2025, there were 38,086 registered EVs in Hawaii, an increase of 5,139 vehicles (16%) over July 2024. This represents 3.5% of the 1,078,070 registered passenger vehicles in the state.
Electric freight vehicles (now at 1,111) represent 1.4% of our 79,073 freight vehicle fleet.
Adoption is accelerating across the state, with very positive YoY growth. This is very positive, but more must be done to accelerate adoption. Hawaii consumes nearly 40 million gallons of gasoline and diesel each month, and gas and diesel vehicles represent approximately 93% of the registered passenger vehicles.
