Electric Vehicles and Electric Vehicles Charging Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Summary

Hong Kong is an ideal place for Electric Vehicles - high fuel prices and short driving distances make electric cars a viable alternative to conventional gasoline vehicles. EVs are also an integral part of facilitating a “Greener Hong Kong” by reducing roadside emissions and increasing the overall efficiency of transport.

However, a reliable EV charging network is vital to alleviate "range anxiety" that many users associate with electric vehicles. CLP Power has recently launched a pilot plan to build the first EV charging network in Hong Kong. Its emergence will encourage drivers to consider electric vehicles and hopefully lead to its widespread use.

The talk intends to provide insights into the pilot plan and the challenges for an Electric Vehicle Charging network both currently and in the future.
