The chargers will be deployed for the state-of the-art Daniel Kahikina Akaka Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Kalaeloa. With this partnership, Xeal will introduce its EV chargers to Hawai'i for the first time.

"Hunt is committed to being part of a more resilient and environmentally conscious Hawai'i. Our 19 EV chargers will serve as a valuable resource for our veterans, their families, doctors, staff, and the West O'ahu community," said Thomas Lee, senior VP, Hunt Companies Development Division, Hawai'i.

Xeal's cost-efficient charging technology uses a self-reliant communication architecture — a secure and dependable option that eliminates the need for costly network infrastructure upgrades. Its user-friendly platform can be managed through an app using encrypted, token-based connectivity that circumvents unreliable Wi-Fi or cellular.

The new chargers will be installed this summer. The public can use the EV charging stations after the Daniel K. Akaka VA Clinic opens in early 2024.
