What’s New?

Effective July 1, 2020, the following new guidelines have been added to this offer:

  • Limit on number of rebate-eligible stations (until 12/31/20): Hawaii Energy will award up to six (6) Level 2 EVCS rebates per site or up to two (2) DC Fast-Charger rebates per customer (N.B.: one (1) DC Fast-Charger per site) from now until December 31, 2020. Applications must be received by December 31, 2020 and be approved by Hawaii Energy. Sites exceeding these quantities for stations may be eligible for rebates on additional stations, subject to review starting January 1, 2021.
  • Any project coordinator seeking rebate funding after December 31, 2020 will have up to 12 months from the date that their qualifying charging station was installed, activated, and available for use (“effective date”) to submit their application to Hawaii Energy. Effective date of station must be between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021 to qualify.
  • Rebates Can Now Be Reserved: Rebate funds may be reserved for pre-approved applications for up to four (4) months from approval. If your installation is not completed within those four months, your funding will be released back into the general pool of rebate funding and the application will be moved to the end of the queue of approved applications.
  • For a full list of eligibility requirements, review our Program Requirements.

Thanks to the generous support of Ulupono Initiative, affordable housing development incentive Applicants on Kaua`i are also eligible for bonus incentives, as funds are available, along with limited additional funding available to help offset the cost of maintenance and network connectivity.

Funding for this special rebate offer was appropriated by the Hawaii State Legislature in 2019 and is administered on behalf of the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission by Hawaii Energy. This rebate is therefore subject to different terms and conditions than other Hawaii Energy rebates, and we encourage you to read through the eligibility requirements and application thoroughly before applying.
