I would urge you to support Bill 120. We cannot allow scofflaws to pointlessly use parking spaces designated for electric vehicle charging. Horribly, even some EV drivers will park in these spots without charging. This behavior is devastating to people with shorter range vehicles, especially on our Big Island. Honestly, getting any enforcement will take additional public pressure, but without this bill, there are no penalties for blocking a charging space. i The bill also addresses the installation of public EV chargers in parking lots, and hopefully will lead to increased compliance with laws already on the books. The only people I've met who don't want an EV are literally these petty parkers lacking Aloha and common decency, or diesel truck owners with "Big Island Coal Rollers" stickers on their vehicles. Thank you for your attention, I hope I can count on your support. Richard Schulherr CIO _ I Comma PAO. ftv�. Taa , Baa Pft' 1
