Tritium DCFC Limited announced that the company will provide all fast chargers for the State of Hawai'i's first round of National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program funding. The company believes Tritium is now the first manufacturer to secure a fast charger order through NEVI program funding. To commemorate this milestone, executives from Tritium, along with project partners Sustainability Partners and National Car Charging, will join officials from the White House, Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, and Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT) for a virtual discussion about the future of e-mobility nationwide and how partnerships like theirs are paving the way for a more sustainable future.

In September 2022, the Federal Highway Administration approved Hawai'i's Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan, granting the state access to $2.6 million of NEVI funding in fiscal 2022. As part of their NEVI deployment plan, HDOT is utilizing its existing contract with Sustainability Partners, a public benefit company mandated to form reliable and enduring partnerships with public institutions for the advancement of their critical infrastructure. HDOT is using the initial round of NEVI funding to procure eight Tritium NEVI systems, totaling 32 PKM150 (150kW) chargers and 16 power units.

The chargers were procured for HDOT by Sustainability Partners from Aloha Charge, a National Car Charging company, and will be equipped with software developed by EV Connect, an EV charging management solutions provider. These fast chargers are expected to be among the first funded and installed under the NEVI program. Established through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, NEVI will provide $5 billion over five years to support the development of EV charging infrastructure across the nation's highways, including almost 1000 miles of road in Hawai'i. It's estimated that the state will receive a total of $17.6 million in funding throughout the duration of the NEVI Formula Program.

In March, Tritium announced that its NEVI-compliant charging system is available for purchase. Each charger on the company’s system provides 150kW of power to an EV through a reliable and modular fast-charging system.
