National EV Association Names Rep. Nicole Lowen 2026 Legislative Ambassador of the Year
Hawaiʻi's electric vehicle charging rebate program pays up to $4,500 for a new Level 2 charger and up to $35,000 for a new DC fast charger. Representative Nicole Lowen (D-7, Kailua-Kona) wrote the 2019 bill that created it. Today, the national Electric Vehicle Association (EVA) named Lowen its 2026 Legislative Ambassador of the Year at its annual meeting in Denver, Colorado.
The award recognizes a public official who has successfully championed EV-friendly policy at the local, state, or federal level. It honors work completed in 2025, a year of federal rollbacks on EV tax credits and HOV access.
