In Hawaii, individuals cannot be stopped by any type of covenant, legal, or contractual agreement from installing an EV charger on or near the parking stall at a multi-family residential building or townhouse they own.
- Hawaii extends its right-to-charge protections beyond “limited common-element parking” to “common-element parking,” which is available for use by all owners on a first-come, first-served basis.
- This legislation prohibits associations from assessing or charging a tenant any fee for the placement of an electric vehicle charging system. The policy does not prevent an association from requiring reimbursement for the actual cost of electricity used for charging.
