Accelerating Hawaii’s transition to a sustainable transportation future.

EV Adoption in Hawaii - We’re over 37,000 passenger EVs!

As of May 2025, there were 37,554 registered EVs in Hawaii, an increase of 5,367 vehicles (16.7%) over May 2024. This represents 3.5% of the 1,078,712 registered passenger vehicles in the state.

Electric freight vehicles (now at 1028) represent 1.3% of our 78,885 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 40,000,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel each month, and gas and diesel vehicles represent about 93% of registered passenger vehicles.
