Construction has started on a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station at the Princeville Library, according to an announcement from the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT). The project is funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program and will be located in the library’s parking lot.
During construction, the Princeville Library will stay open. HDOT stated that safe access to the library entrance will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.
The upcoming charging station will support both CSS and CHAdeMO connectors. When finished, it will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Users can check payment options and charger availability through the EV Connect App at evconnect.com/. Credit card payments are also accepted directly at the charger, and QR codes will be posted for those preferring to use the mobile app. Pricing policy and idle fees will be displayed on the station screen.
This installation is part of HDOT’s plan to build 11 NEVI-funded charging stations across Hawaii.
“HDOT NEVI chargers support CSS and Charge de Move (CHAdeMO) connectors. Once completed, the chargers will be accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Payment and charger availability can be checked through the EV Connect App at evconnect.com/
Payment by credit card is also accepted at the charger and QR codes will be displayed at the chargers for customers wanting to start a charging session with the mobile app. The station display will show the pricing policy as well as the idle fee.”
