DANIELE: Thank you. KIMBALL: — in the HRS which allows the owner multiple parking lots across the State to satisfy their requirement in one location, rather than distributing or a fewer number of locations than distributing across all of their lots. And so, the example that Christian gave was right on. University of Hawaii can put all their charges in at Manoa and then, when they go to develop a new parking lot at UH Hilo, they don't have a requirement because they're using this aggregation provision. I will say that I think the aggregation provision is fundamentally flawed from the standpoint that it is those larger organizations that can actually take advantage of it. and what we see already is that they're putting all of that charging infrastructure in Honolulu and they're leaving out the neighbor islands. So, I'm hoping over time that this the State, may reconsider making that aggregation provision, maybe County-wide rather than being Statewide just because it puts our neighbor islands at a pretty significant disadvantage. DANIELE: Thank you that's all that I have right now. AU: Thank you, Commissioner Daniele. Commissioner Balog do you have a question or a few questions? BALOG: I actually got a question pertaining to what percentage of vehicles we have are currently electric vehicles, and what that growth looks like and maybe that pertains to that whole aggregation thing as well. KIMBALL: Yeah, Noel, do you have that slide around? MORIN: I'm looking for it. KIMBALL: Okay, if you'll give us a second, I believe Noel has the slide with the current level of adoption and the rate we've seen and increased adoption over the last few years here. There has been a market uptick in the level of adoption. I'm sure you see it on the streets, and you see more of those vehicles around. Do you have another question while we wait for Noel? MORIN: I can respond. So, I have a data slide here it was from the last count from January 2022. So, Hawaii island we have 1,272, a thousand two-hundred seventy-two EVs as of earlier this year end of January. We have about 180 to 185,000 or so vehicles here so it's less than a percent. Statewide we're close to 19,000 electric cars and we have over a million cars in the State so it's less than 2% for the State. The growth what we're seeing is the last I looked it was like 30% year-over-year and so it's climbing, it's accelerating, and if I may share one of the slides that I have here, I can show you that trend. Hang on let me just do this really quick. So, this here, this is again from January, as a period ending January and it transit from January 2006 all the way to earlier this year. You can see the trajectory of growth. I don't have a track for Hawaii island, but we see something very similar. When I started with the EVs here, we had like I don't know less than about 30 or so back in 2011. So, I hope this addresses the question that you have. 20 EXHIBIT C
