All new cars in Hong Kong could be electric by 2030, five years ahead of schedule, environment official says

All new cars in Hong Kong could be electric by as early as 2030 – five years ahead of the government’s target - given their accelerating penetration globally, according to a senior environment official.

The government is stepping up policy support to lift the take-up of emission-free vehicles, including subsidies for electric car purchases and private charging infrastructure, said Owin Fung Ho-yin, deputy director of the Environment Protection Department.
