Aside from from the existing charger and permit for Aiea and Kaneohe respectively, are you sure the other locations are not just referring to the addresses of service center / showroom?Planned superchargers leaked in find us list on Tesla site. So where is Kahala Resort location that’s under construction?View attachment 860663
I used my last two votes on both of them.VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! For more superchargers! Maui and Big Island on the list! Or suggest a location!
I'll vote for one in Kona which is useful if I ever rent a Tesla in Hawaii but Maui is just silly. You can circle the island from end to end twice without charging once. There should be sites in both Kona and Hilo so that no matter which side you start out on, you can charge at the halfway point if you're driving all the way around the island in one day.I used my last two votes on both of them.
Where would you put the third one? Volcano would be a good location, maybe near that Thai restaurant. Or at the Punalu‘u Bake Shop (but that one isn't as interesting as the Thai restuarant in Volcano because it closes at 5 pm).
Actually looking at the Plugshare map, there are already a couple DC fast chargers in the Hilo area, there's one at the Punalu‘u Bake Shop (I actually remember taking a look at this one when I stopped there). There's also one in Kailua-Kona. Although, both the Hilo and Kona locations appear to be kind of crappy, with not much around. They're in the parking lots of the utility company build because...I don't know, maybe people like to charge while paying their utility bills in person? I assume these can be used with the Tesla CCS or CHAdeMO adapters but the even bigger issue with these chargers is that they appear to be low power, 50 kW units. So yeah, superchargers, particularly of the V3 variety, are needed on Hawai‘i Island.
I voted for the one in Kona. Looks like I can't put a marker in Hilo or Punalu‘u though. It would have to be processed by Tesla and then added to the map and by then, the votes won't mean anything because Kona will have been on there longer than the others.
Now if only I could get a Tesla on Maui for a reasonable price. I never really asked what Avis/Budget wanted for them but I'm sure whatever I got would cost at least twice as much as the car I did rent and be inferior to what I have at home. The condo complex I stay at has a level 2 EVSE and several 120V outlets so I'd probably be able to never buy gasoline the entire time I was on there.
