Multifamily Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Deployment Assessment

The Hawaii State Energy Office must convene a working group to evaluate opportunities and barriers for installing EV chargers in multifamily housing. The working group must:

• Assess barriers to EV chargers at multifamily housing;
• Consider changes to state statutes and administrative code to support EV charger deployment at multifamily housing;
• Identify best practices for EV charger installations at multifamily housing;
• Create guidelines for EV chargers in multifamily housing;
• Develop solutions for EV charging cost recovery and electrical capacity management; and,
• Develop recommendations for installing shared-use EV chargers at multifamily housing.

The working group must prepare a report of its findings, recommendations, and proposed legislation and submit it to the Hawaii Legislature 20 days prior to the 2023 legislative session.
