Kaka‘ako is now home to Arcimoto, the first electric vehicle rental provider in the neighborhood.

In its first Experience Center in Hawaii, located at 805 Pohukaina St., Arcimoto offers fun-sized electric vehicles for rent to ride across Oahu. Arcimoto is on a mission to shift the U.S. transportation industry to smaller, more efficient EVs, which have significantly reduced carbon emissions—over 520,000 lbs. of CO2e to date.

“We love Our Kaka‘ako because it’s centrally located, which allows us to provide excellent service to our kama‘āina as well as our visitors,” said site manager Paula Johansson.

Our Kaka‘ako is a vibrant neighborhood with a thriving business community that continues to grow. Check out the extensive lineup of tenants in the business directory at ourkakaako.com/directory.
