Subject: Please support Bill 120
Aloha,
I am Co-Founder of the Hawaii chapter of 350.or�, the largest international organization dedicated to fighting climate
change. 350Hawaii strongly supports Bill 120 which will help enforcement of the state law that calls for EV chargers to
be installed on large parking structures, for the stations to be maintained, and for enforcement of rules related to parking
in the designated stalls. When passed, Bill 120 will increase the number of reliable charging stations around Hawaii island.
This will allow for more equitable access to clean transportation and accelerate our transition to EVs.
It is critical in our fight against the climate crisis that Hawaii transitions to electric vehicles. To do so, there needs to be
readily available and reliable public EV chargers. This bill will enable all segments of our community to enjoy the
economic, environmental and health benefits of driving EVs,while supporting Hawaii's decarbonization efforts. To
achieve Hawaii's sustainable transportation and climate goals,we must decarbonize ground transportation as soon as
possible. This bill supports those efforts.
Mahalo for this opportunity to testify in support of this important measure!
