"This sends a strong message to our community that Hong Kong is preparing to become an EV-friendly city by establishing the essential infrastructural support in anticipation of the growth of our EV fleet. Together with incentives from the Pilot Green Transport Fund to be set up in this month, the adoption of EVs is expected to take a leap forward in the coming year," said Tsang.
The event also features the debut of the "Nissan LEAF" EV, a 5- seat electric saloon car with a maximum speed of 145 km/h and a driving range of over 160 km per full charge.
