Consumer Advocacy – Public Utilities (DCA)

National Drive Electric Week is a nationwide celebration to increase awareness of the availability of electric vehicles (EV). This year, it is celebrated between September 14-22. It highlights the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more.

Locally, a handful of events were held statewide on Oahu, Kauai, and Kamuela and Hilo on Hawaii Island. Consumers learned more about how EVs can improve their lifestyle. It was also an opportunity to meet other EV owners, learn about their ownership experience, and to see the latest EVs. Even electric bikes were available to view at some events.
