description: "Hong Kong is promoting the popularization of electric vehicles but faces issues such as insufficient charging facilities. The Innovation and Technology Commission stated that it is providing technical support for alternative solutions such as building battery swapping stations. Additionally, some car dealers are actively participating in the construction of oil-electric stations. The government recently updated the \"Electric Vehicle Popularization Roadmap\" and will no longer extend the \"one-for-one\" tax reduction for private cars, shifting the policy focus to charging infrastructure and promoting the popularization of electric commercial vehicles. The Chief Innovation Officer of the Innovation and Technology Commission, Du Yonghai, stated that due to the difficulties in installing charging facilities in older districts, Hong Kong can explore different alternative solutions beyond just increasing charging piles. Du Yonghai said, \"Instead of looking for charging piles, which require a long time to complete charging, I can think differently and quickly swap the battery at a battery swapping station.\" He also mentioned that the Advanced Energy and Smart Transportation Center under the Innovation and Technology Commission is assisting companies in building battery swapping stations in Hong Kong, providing localized technical support for introducing mainland brands of battery-swappable taxis. The first battery swapping station is located in Fanling and is expected to be put into service in the first half of this year. The center is also developing technologies for fast charging of electric minibuses. Furthermore, in response to the government's push for the popularization of electric vehicles, including convenient charging for taxis and other commercial vehicles, a car dealer has recently collaborated with an oil company to establish Hong Kong's first joint oil-electric station in Diamond Hill. Liu Qicheng, Managing Director of Yingzhijie Greater China, said, \"Parking lots have already matured as charging stations, and there are many different voices, so we will no longer expand in the field of building charging stations in parking lots. Instead, we will focus our efforts on gas stations, as they are ultimately very convenient places and do not require parking fees.\" The company's goal is to add three more oil-electric stations in Hong Kong within the year, with potential locations including Tsing Yi. Liu Qicheng pointed out that commercial vehicles currently account for 40% of the company's business, mainly taxis, and the lack of popularity of electric trucks is primarily due to mileage limitations. He is also concerned about the government's push to introduce hydrogen energy policies for new energy trucks with long range and fast refueling times. Liu Qicheng said, \"If hydrogen energy is so expensive, will the government provide some additional subsidies to help the development of this energy? We are in close communication with the government.\" The Innovation and Technology Commission also believes that hydrogen energy is an important direction for the development of green transportation. Du Yonghai said, \"Hong Kong has a city gas pipeline that has been safely operated for over 160 years, half of which is already hydrogen. This is an incomparable advantage for Hong Kong.\" He stated that utilizing the existing gas pipeline to extract hydrogen can significantly save infrastructure costs and believes that hydrogen energy has great development potential in Hong Kong"

# [Hong Kong EV Development "Taking a New Path"] "Charging Exchange" and "Oil-Electric Stations" Accelerate the Popularization of Electric Vehicles

【Now 新聞台】本港推動電動車普及面對充電設施不足等問題，生產力局表示，正為興建換電站等替代方案提供技術支援。此外，有汽車代理積極參與建設油電站。

政府近期更新《電動車普及化路線圖》，亦不再延續私家車「一換一」稅務寬減，政策重心轉向充電配套，以及推動電動商用車普及。

生產力局首席創新總監都永海表示，面對舊區難以安裝充電設施等掣肘，本港在增設充電樁以外，可探索不同替代方案。

都永海說:「與其我去找充電樁，需要停在那裡比較長的時間完成充電，我可以換一個思路，我去一個換電站很快、很短的時間把電池換掉。」

他又稱，生產力局旗下先進能源及智慧交通中心，正協助企業在港興建換電站，為引入內地品牌可換電的士提供本地化技術支援，首個換電站設於粉嶺，估計今年上半年投入服務，中心亦有研發電動小巴快速充電等技術。

此外，有汽車代理為響應政府推動電動車普及，包括方便的士等商用車充電，近期跟油公司合作，在鑽石山設立本地首個聯營油電站。

英之傑大中華地區董事總經理劉啟成說:「停車場做充電站已經好成熟，亦都有好多唔同聲音，所以我哋唔會再喺停車場建充電站呢個領域裡面做擴張，反而我哋會集中火力喺油站，因為始終油站係一個好方便嘅地方，又唔需要畀停車場費。」

公司目標是年內在港再增設 3 個油電站，選址包括青衣，劉啟成指出，現時商用車佔公司業務 40%，當中主要是的士，電動貨車未普及主要因為里程限制，他又關注政府推動引入氫能等續航里程長、加注時間快的新能源貨車政策。

劉啟成說:「如果氫能價格咁貴的話，政府係咪會有一啲額外補貼？去幫助呢個能源嘅發展，我哋都同與政府有密切嘅溝通。」

生產力局亦認為，氫能是綠色運輸發展的重要方向。

都永海說:「香港有一個已安全運營了 160 多年的城市煤氣管道，當中一半已經是氫氣，對於香港來講是一個別人不可比擬的優勢。」

他表示，利用現有煤氣管道提取氫氣，可大幅節省基建成本，又認為氫能在香港有巨大發展潛力。
