1) There are no instructions.

2) There is a data station beside the charger. Put your parking ticket stub into the slot. There are a bunch of ways that it can go in the slot, and the last one you try will work… It will reprogram your parking ticket, setting the parking fee to zero and adding in the $7 flat charging fee.

3) Go to the charge station itself and press the arrow and select buttons until the charge port lights up. The  panel display are almost impossible to see. Keep pushing buttons…

4) Plug in.

5) Turn off charge timer in your car. (Important!)

6) Charge it! Brings a whole new meaning to “charge card”.

Then when you leave the parking ticket will come up with just the $7 charge charge. It is illegal to resell electricity in Hawaii, so the charge is a “port charge”, a connection fee. With free parking (which is more than $7 per day) it is a bargain!
