Hawaii regulators approve new electric vehicle charging rates – Pacific Business News (Honolulu)

Great idea if enough charging stations are built. The new rate structure may encourage drivers to buy EV vehicles.  These cars would be usable in an urban setting where extensive driving isn’t required.  For those of us who must commute long distances to work or medical appointments, EVs would be less satisfactory.  The range of these vehicles is still limited and there are few charging stations available to rural residents.  Aloha, Russ.
