Promoting Electric Vehicles in Hong Kong

Advantages of using EV (Electric Vehicles) in Hong Kong Improved air flavor Electric vehicles have zero emissions at the tailpipe. The wider use of EVs can greatly improve roadside air quality and reduce exhaust emission. Better causal agencyable to the urban environment saving up to 1800-1900 gear changes a day helps reduce driver fatigue, while reduced noise pollution is a take in to services delivered in residential areas Reduced noise Noise from traffic and transport is a major or fairly major problem.At amply speeds, most noise is down to wind and tyres so there is little difference between ICE and electric vehicles. However, electric vehicles are almost dumb whilst idling. Incentives Government would extend the waiver of the first registration tax on electric vehicles for five years from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2014. Low running costs EVs in like manner have higher fuel efficiency than conventional petrol/diesel vehicles. It costs most HK$2. 20 for a normal petrol sev en-seater to run for about one kilometre and HK$1 for better ones. However, it apparently only costs about 10 Hong Kong cents for EV.To fully charge up EV, all it takes is about HK$10. That is becoming for it to run about 100 kilometres. It is probably cheaper than riding on a bus. Cost savings not only in fuel (up to 10 propagation cheaper), but also in maintenance (less wear and tear, fewer services). There are also potential significant cost savings in the long-term. become distance of EV without recharging the battery In general, electric vehicles today can travel over 100km with a fully charged battery. The distance of 100km can suit most of the drivers in Hong Kong daily.
