(E) Green and Low-carbon Living Environment

Develop Hong Kong into a Demonstration Base for Green Technology

235. We will promote the commercialisation of green I&T outcomes. Relevant measures include supporting the market development of technologies for battery-swapping EVs and automated battery-swapping stations, encouraging the construction of district cooling systems by non-government entities, and driving the market to accelerate carbon reduction in existing buildings.

Enhance Charging Networks for Electric Vehicles

236. We have launched a $300 million Fast Charger Incentive Scheme, with an additional 3 000 fast chargers to be provided by the end of 2028. The Government also plans to roll out six sites for the provision of fast charging stations, while bus operators will open up their charging facilities for use by other vehicles.
