Yes, it really is perfect. Now all we need is a DCFC in or near Hana to make all of Maui accessible by a Leaf or other BEV.

The Jump Smart Maui chargers are all DCFC, so based on the existing Jump Smart Maui installations I doubt a L2 would also be installed at the Kula Lodge.

The Kula Lodge DCFC is in the process of being installed right now, which will make Haleakala accessible. The Jump Smart Maui plan is to have a DCFC in Hana, a DCFC half way to Hana & several upcountry, with a total of 20 DCFC stations with 4 charge ports per station, which will make all of...

DCFC update: There are currently 6 DCFC on Maui, 4 of these locations have 4 charge ports, 1 has 3 charge ports (Kaanapali Beach Hotel) & the County Building. Another Jump Smart Maui DCFC station is being installed at the Kula Lodge. Here's a link to our google EV charge station map -...

Hitachi installed them so I assume they made them as well. They're very easy to use.

The first 5 Hitachi/JUMPSmartMaui DC fast charge stations are now available for use on Maui. A JUMPSmartMaui card is required to use these stations but it looks like they will be free to use for over a year for the first 200 volunteers. Each station has 4 charge ports, and another 15 of these...

Yes. If you're interested in renting the Leaf in July we have one available starting July 10. Shaun

We could do that for an extra $35. Shaun

The great news is that 20 DCFC stations are being installed on Maui this year, and each of the charge stations will have 4 individual charge ports for a total of at least 80 additional DCFC's. :shock: Four of these stations are being installed right now, including Queen Kaahumanu Center in...

There are Leaf rentals on Oahu, but I don't know about Big Island & Kauai. If you can't find a Leaf you might be able to rent a Prius. Shaun

I think most people who will use a DCQC at the park entrance will not charge to 100% anyway since it would take longer then they would be willing to wait, and there's no need for it. If you charge to 80%, then use 36% for the last 11 miles you would be at 44% at the top of Haleakala, and...

The last time we drove it up Haleakala (2 people in the car) we stopped at the park entrance and charged it overnight at the ranger station (~7000 feet elev.) on level I - this was part of a demonstration requested by one of the park personnel, and we donated our car for the test. The next day...

The last time I charged at the DCQC there was another Leaf charging, I noticed that the charger said he was only at 1.4 kw on his charge and when I went to ask how long he thought he might have left he said he was almost done since the charger showed that he was at 97%, so what he did was charge...

The plan is to install them in all the main areas of Maui - Lahaina, Kahului, Kihei, Makawao/Pukalani, Hana, Haleakala - which will make Maui 100% accessible by a 100% EV. We will add them to our EV charge station map as they become available -...

The local dealer has been bringing in lots of Leafs in the past several months and I wouldn't be surprised if there were close to 100 Leafs on Maui. The recent great lease rates are the big reason for that. Hopefully we'll see you in the fall. Shaun
