Hawaii Electric Light Co. opened two utility-owned-and-operated electric vehicle DC fast chargers on Hawaii island Wednesday.

One is at the utility’s main office at 1200 Kilauea Ave. in Hilo. The other is at HELCO’s Kona office at 74-5519 Kaiwi St.

The rates range from $7 to $8 per session. Drivers may pay by credit card or through a Greenlots subscription.
