SB 370 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

RELATING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEMS.

Summary

Removes the exemption that allowed owners of multiple parking facilities within the State to designate and electrify fewer parking spaces than required in one or more of the properties if the requirement for the total number of aggregate spaces on all of their owned properties was met. Authorizes the counties to adopt ordinances to regulate electric vehicle charging systems for places of public accommodation with fewer than one hundred parking spaces. Requires the Clean Ground Transportation Working Group to develop plans for public electric vehicle charging stations on each neighbor island and develop an expedited permitting process for electric vehicle charges and related supporting infrastructure. Requires a report to the Legislature and counties. (SD1)
