demand. You have a lot of companies now that are stepping up and producing the cars and the prices are coming down. Lastly, utility. So, it used to be just sedans and now you have EVs of all forms, all shapes and sizes and I predict that once the trucks land here like the Ford F 150 and the Rivian we're going to see a lot, lot more people getting behind the wheel of electric cars. A really important development is, and this is where I'm referring to as policy pressures that many governments across the globe have already started to declare that they're going to be phasing out gas cars in the future. You'll see that we have some states in here as well. So, what this is saying is that it's actually a message to manufacturers and consumers that at some point it's going to be very difficult to purchase a gas car and I think it highlights the importance of us to future proof Hawaii. This slide here just highlights all the different, it could have changed by now. The number of manufacturers that have responded with these commitments to phase out new gas cars in the future. So, as you can see a number of these are really familiar brands. At some point in the future, it's going to be very difficult, if not impossible to go to a dealer and ask for a gasoline powered car. So, again this just emphasizes the need for us to look forward and ensure that we're future proofing our infrastructure and ensuring that our communities, our people will be able to move forward. I'm going to now talk about public charging, and I think that this is one of the top enablers for the equitable adoption of EVs. This slide here just talks about the different types of charging. So, Level 1 is what you get at home. It's 110. You can plug your car in there and maybe you get about 40 miles overnight, and some people actually rely on Level 1 charging. My mother-in-law own some Nissan Leaf, and she just relies on this exclusively. Level 2 is 240, and this is what you typically would see in the public charging space. But you also have this at home if you have access to a 240 outlet or a dryer outlet for example and something like this will give you about 20-25 miles of range per hour that you're plugged in. The last one is the DC Fast Charger, and this was mentioned earlier, this is the quickest and most convenient and this one will top off or charge most of the battery in about 30 minutes or so. So, these are the different types of charging stations. Now, on note on home charging. Many of us who own EVs who have access to home charging relies almost exclusively on home chargers. If you have a 240 or even a 110 depending on how much you drive, you can actually just plug in when you get home and when you're ready to go again your car charged. It's very, very similar to your mobile phone, however, not everybody has this opportunity. As mentioned already we have many people who live in apartments and condos. They rent homes, where they can't actually modify the charging situation. In situations like that they're going to require access to public charging to be able to make the transition. If they don't have access to public charging, they're not confident with that then they're just going to have to continue to rely on their gas vehicles. So, it is a key to equitable transition for transportation. We have a quite a few EV chargers on the island already and you'll see here a number of these Level 2's and Level 3's you'll find them all over the place. Shopping centers, government 13 EXHIBIT C
