It has been increased to 1 electric vehicle for every 4 units.
The source said that the government has so far received more than 560 applications for residential buildings and housing estates, involving a budget of more than 2 billion yuan, of which more than 240 have entered the consulting stage. It is expected that about 100 car parks will be completed in March next year, but there are still some With a space of 100 million yuan to accept other applicants in the market, it is estimated that 700 building parking spaces can be completed in the next 4 to 5 years.
Regarding the slow approval of applications, the source pointed out that the plan is unique in Hong Kong and even in the world, and solves the problems of owners' corporation management, money, power supply, etc. He believes that when the first batch of projects is completed, it will help to speed up subsequent applications, and reminds the submission of documents and information Deficiencies will also delay the application.

180 petrol and gas stations can be converted into charging stations
Government sources pointed out that through the transformation of the existing 180 gas stations and gas stations into charging stations, it is expected that the first batch of small charging stations will be launched in 2-3 years. The size, location and operation mode of different gas stations are being reviewed. It does not require government investment, such as through bidding, but it is ideal for citizens to charge at places they frequent, rather than relying on external charging stations to supply constant electricity.
As for the "multiple use of one land" model, sources pointed out that dungeons or low-rise buildings can be considered for charging, and other land can be used for government and residential purposes.
The source said that when the gas station and gas station are gradually transformed, the charging time for the owner of the material can be similar to that of entering the oil, and the battery may be improved or shortened.

Government charging stations to start charging as soon as 2025
Government sources pointed out that there are currently about 4,700 electric vehicle charging spaces in multi-storey car parks, and the ratio between the government and the private sector is about 46. In addition to providing gross floor area concessions, the government encourages developers to equip private car parks in new buildings with electric vehicle charging devices. For basic facilities, government charging stations will also be charged from 2025, which is believed to help activate the level and quantity of private participation.
As for the charging level in the future, reference will be made to the charging level of the private market, the acceptance of the public and electricity charges.
In the past, it was discovered that after the parking lot of a development project owned by a developer had obtained a larger area, although the parking space was equipped with a charging socket, there was no connection to the power supply.
The source pointed out that the situation is not common in the market, but the measures will be reviewed, and it is also possible to consider increasing the penalty, but it is not a good arrangement, and the most hope is that users can enjoy the charging service.

In addition, the Budget announced that it plans to set aside funds in the next five years to carry out improvement works and management measures for 26 low-lying or vulnerable residential areas with high risks; it will also carry out a strategic study on coastal management, from planning and land use guidelines and formulate long-term strategies and defensive measures.
In addition, this year, an appropriation of about $8.4 billion is being applied for to carry out improvement works for the multi-district stormwater drainage system to enhance the flood control capacity.
The government has also injected an additional $200 million into the "Low-Carbon Green Research Fund", which will fund about 40 additional projects, focusing on supporting net-zero power generation, energy-saving green buildings, green transportation and national waste reduction.
Greenpeace believes that the government can provide citizens with "green relief subsidies" with incentives to save electricity, that is, electricity bill subsidies should be linked to energy-saving performance. It also means that the government has not implemented emission reduction measures for commercial vehicles, and it is difficult to control the overall road GHG emissions. It is advisable to speed up the formulation of a roadmap for electric commercial vehicles.
