How many EVs are cruising Hawaii?
Adoption is accelerating across Hawaii, 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 vehicles still represent about 94% of registered vehicles.

Good news for VW fans!
This just in: The VW ID.4 qualifies for the $ 7,500 federal tax credit! Thanks to domestic manufacturing (in Tennessee) and their utilization of SK On batteries (manufactured in Georgia), the ID.4 is now on the list of EVs that qualify for the full credit.

The devices were installed 10 feet up several power poles around the city. To access the service, users utilized a mobile app offered by AmpUp, a California-based software company and network provider.
