It's commendable that Tesla did the right thing in that case. But it really demonstrates how behind the times we are in Hawaii regarding EV infrastructure IMHO. I imagine there are other communities that are also behind in updating their infrastructure, but considering we're in the middle of the Pacific with no access to the charging networks being built on the mainland, I'm surprised that some entrepreneurial types out there haven't invested in more paid charging options.
That being said, just across the parking lot from the Tesla chargers at Ala Moana, there are a couple more EV charging stalls that have recently been installed, so the situation is improving. Now, if we could just overcome the ICEing problem at the limited number of chargers we have!
