Event Report
This was the second of 2 webinars that Hawaii EV and Drive Electric
Week Hawaii (led by Blue Planet Foundation) hosted in celebration of
Drive Electric Week. This session was focused on the EV-curious - we focused on the basics of EVs, buying, and charging.
Our webinar agenda and presenters:
- EV 101, virtual test drives, myth-busting - Kianiwai Jones (Director, Blue Planet Foundation)
- Hawaii EV Expert program - Steven Ingledue (Cutter Volvo Honolulu)
- Buying a used EV (video)
- EV Charging 101 - Nanette Vinton (Treasurer- Hawaii EV and President Tesla Hawaii Club)
- Charging in Hawaii - Tandy Tabata (Sr. Program Manager, Hawaiian Electric)
- EV Owners Panel - Owners from across the state with different EV charging situations.
- Q&A
We concluded the event with a Q&A from our Zoom audience and a raffle drawing. We gave away four 1-day EV rentals to participants from 4 islands. This was a means to get people behind the wheel of an EV and to raise visibility to the availability of EV rentals across the state.

Thanks
to our co-host, Kianiwai Jones of Blue Planet Foundation, our speakers, owners who joined our panel, and the EV rental companies that provided the generous 1-day rentals (Mission Zero, Weedrivetesla, Aiona Cars, and ECO Car Rental). Special thanks to national sponsors for the continued
spotlight on electric vehicles and clean transportation.
