Hawaiian Electric, serving 95 percent of the state’s residents, recently partnered with AMPLY Power, a company providing fully managed charging service to the public sector and commercial businesses, on a pilot program to manage electric-vehicle-charging infrastructure for four of the utility’s vehicles.
The pilot program will use the Open Automated Demand Response industry to optimize vehicles charging on the system.
Hawaiian Electric’s four passenger electric vehicles will be charged using AMPLY’s Charging-as-a-Service.
The company will use data from the program to inform its electrification efforts. It has set the goal of having a fully electric by 2035.
“Transportation accounts for nearly two-thirds of imported petroleum and discharges over half of our greenhouse gas emissions,” Aki Marceau, Hawaiian Electric director of Electrification of Transportation, said. “That makes this pilot an integral part of our effort to transition our own passenger vehicle fleet to electric by 2035 and bring carbon neutrality to our islands by 2045. We look forward to working with AMPLY and using the data collected to encourage other commercial fleets in the state to transition to electric as well.”
Elemental Excelerator, a commercialization catalyst for growth-stage climate technology companies, contributed to the funding and facilitated the pilot program.
