Promoting Electric Vehicles in Hong Kong

Advantages of using EV (Electric Vehicles) in Hong Kong Improved lineage quality Electric vehicles corroborate zero emissions at the tailpipe. The wider use of EVs lavatory greatly improve roadside air quality and reduce fag out emission. Better suited to the urban environment saving up to 1800-1900 gear wheel changes a day helps reduce driver fatigue, while reduced folie pollution is a benefit to services delivered in residential areas cut back noise Noise from traffic and transport is a major or fairly major problem.At high speeds, most noise is start to wind and tyres so there is little difference between chicken feed and electric vehicles. However, electric vehicles are almost silent whilst idling. Incentives Government would try the waiver of the first registration tax on electric vehicles for 5 years from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2014. Low running hail EVs also have higher kindle efficiency than conventional petrol/diesel vehicles. It cost or so HK$2. 20 for a n ormal petrol seven-seater to run for near one kilometre and HK$1 for better ones. However, it apparently only costs about 10 Hong Kong cents for EV.To amply charge up EV, all it takes is about HK$10. That is enough 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 times cheaper), but also in maintenance (less comport and tear, fewer services). There are also potential significant cost savings in the long-term. Travel 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.
