HDOT Teams with Sustainability Partners to Add 20 New Electric Vehicle Chargers at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport

Charger installation marks Sustainability Partners' 36th project with the Hawai'i Department of Transportation

HONOLULU, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sustainability Partners, a Public Benefit Company and a leader in sustainable infrastructure funding, deployment and ongoing maintenance, has completed its 36th project in collaboration with the Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT). At Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, 20 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations have been installed, providing a boost to travelers and supporting Hawai'i's goal to achieve a carbon-neutral economy by 2045.

"This project showcases the powerful impact of Infrastructure as a Service on advancing needed EV infrastructure," said Arnold Albiar, managing partner at Sustainability Partners in Hawai'i. "We are proud to support HDOT's mission, ensuring Hawai'i is equipped to lead the way in clean transportation. These new chargers are an important step toward a healthier, zero-emission future for our communities."

HDOT's commitment to growing the state's EV network is supported by Sustainability Partners, which holds the state contract for fleet electrification and associated charging initiatives and is actively working with HDOT to develop over 35 additional public-facing chargers across the state.

"Adding 20 new EV charging stations at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport demonstrates our commitment to build a sustainable transportation network and expand the EV infrastructure, making clean mobility more accessible to this well-traveled airport," said Oahu Airport Director Malcom Smith.

Located in the airport's international parking structure , the EV chargers are available 24 hours a day on a first-come, first-served, pay-per-use basis. The chargers are equipped with OpConnect Level 2 chargers that use standard J1772 connectors, also known as a J plug or Type 1 connector. Charging rates vary from $0.44 per kWh from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and $0.57 per kWh from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. Payments are made through the OpConnect mobile app by scanning a QR code at the station. Vehicles using the designated EV stalls must be plugged in while parked, and standard airport parking rates apply.

Sustainability Partners is steadfast in its commitment to working with public entities to support innovative projects that drive sustainability and benefit communities throughout the state.
