Accelerating Hawaii’s transition to a sustainable transportation future.
EV Adoption in Hawaii - We’re over 35,000 passenger EVs!
As of January 2025, there were 35,887 registered EVs in Hawaii, an increase of 6,106 vehicles (20.5%) over January 2024). This represents 3.3% of the 1,079,029 registered passenger vehicles in the state.
Electric freight vehicles (777) represent 1% of our 78,109 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 96% of registered passenger vehicles.

Watt’s up with Hawaii’s NEVI Chargers?
Did you know Hawaii is installing a 44 DC Fast Charger network?
That’s forty-four 150kW Fast Chargers in eleven charging hubs. Two hubs have already been deployed and work is in progress for the others.
The program is led by Robin Shishido, Deputy Director for Highways at the Hawaii Department of Transportation. He joined Hawaii EV to share information about the program and address questions regarding the schedule, equipment, and the NEVI initiative. Here’s the recording.
