Fully Supports the Government in Advancing Hong Kong’s Green Transport Transformation

12 February 2026

HK Electric welcomes the Updated Version of the Hong Kong Roadmap on Popularisation of Electric Vehicles (the Updated Roadmap), announced today (12 February) by the Environment and Ecology Bureau. The Updated Roadmap sets out clearer and more comprehensive policy directions for the development of electric vehicles (EVs) in Hong Kong. HK Electric will continue to fully support and cooperate with the Government in promoting the widespread adoption of EVs in the city.

Since 2009, HK Electric has been actively supporting the Government's policy by setting up free public EV charging stations across Hong Kong Island, and assisting customers in installing EV charging facilities. The Company has also gradually increased the proportion of EVs in its operating fleet, with more than half the fleet now being electric.

With the development of the market, HK Electric has, since 2020, transitioned from operating free EV charging stations to providing technical support to customers through its "Smart Power EV Charging Solution", assisting customers to plan, install and manage charging facilities.

Since the Government launched the EV-charging at Home Subsidy Scheme (EHSS), HK Electric has already provided power supply capacity, load assessment and reserved capacity information to 470 residential carparks. These assessments help users plan and install charging infrastructure, covering over 50,000 parking spaces across Hong Kong Island.

To support the Government's Fast Charger Incentive Scheme, HK Electric has earlier provided relevant data to assist in the preparation of the Power Availability Map for Hong Kong Island, helping operators identify suitable locations for installing fast chargers. Currently, around 50 fast chargers have received Acknowledgement Notices from the Government.

In recent years, HK Electric has also provided customised power supply solutions for a number of EV charging infrastructure projects, including supporting the conversion of petrol filing stations into petrol-cum-charging stations and assisting with the installation of the first batch of 600 kW ultra-fast charging systems on Hong Kong Island. The Company is also supporting electrification of public transport on both land and sea.

In addition, HK Electric is preparing to introduce a new Time-of-Use tariff arrangement for residential EV charging within this year. The initiative encourages EV users to charge their vehicles during off-peak hours with lower electricity demand, providing customers with more flexible charging options. This aligns with the policy direction of the Updated Roadmap and further promotes a low-carbon lifestyle and sustainable development.
