Hong Kong is an ideal place for Electric Vehicles (EV) – 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.
This technical seminar will provide an opportunity to introduce members the insights into the pilot
plan and the challenges for an Electric Vehicle Charging network both currently and in the future.
