The Roadmap represents a straightforward guide, based on input from stakeholders, transportation and technical experts, policymakers, non-government organizations and perhaps most importantly, customers, for turning the Companies' transportation transformation plans into actions. The Roadmap describes a number of steps to accelerate the EoT, including: (1) increasing electric vehicle ("EV") adoption by helping to lower costs and educating customers; (2) accelerating the buildout of EV charging infrastructure; (3) supporting the electrification of buses and other heavy equipment; (4) incentivizing EV charging to align with grid needs and save drivers and utility customers money; and (5) coordinating with ongoing grid modernization and planning efforts to help maximize the use of renewable resources. With these and other actions described in the Roadmap, the State can enhance its energy security and accelerate its transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources, both for the production of electricity and for ground transportation, while at the same time helping to facilitate more renewable resources online and helping to lower energy costs for customers. If you have any questions on this matter, please call Brennon Morioka, General Manager, Electrification of Transportation at 543-7570. Sincerely, Drull~ Manager, Regulatory Non-Rate Proceedings Attachment c: Division of Consumer Advocacy Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism 1 See Ordering Paragraph l .Eat 68 ("The Companies shall file their 'Electrification of Transportation' strategy by or before March 31, 2018."). 2 The "Hawaiian Electric Companies" or "Companies" are Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., Hawai 'i Electric Light Company, Inc. and Maui Electric Company, Limited.
