HONG KONG – Seventy Electric Vehicle (EV) enthusiasts, along with their 30 EVs, celebrated on Sunday, 25 January 2015 the establishment of Charged Hong Kong, an association dedicated to supporting and accelerating the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in Hong Kong. “Electric vehicles are critical to improving air quality in Hong Kong because they are much more efficient and have minimal to zero emissions, as compared to conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines,” says Mark Webb-Johnson, newly-elected Chairman of Charged Hong Kong. “Charged Hong Kong will play an instrumental role in making it easier to operate and own an EV in Hong Kong,” added Mr. Webb-Johnson. Charged Hong Kong will bring together EV owners and enthusiasts in Hong Kong to discuss and exchange ideas on promoting the use of EVs to replace conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines. The association serves to represent the collective views of EV owners to manufacturers, charging networks, the press, and the Hong Kong SAR Government. “A mere five years ago, there were only seven private EVs in Hong Kong. As of the end of November 2014, there were 831, and new EVs are registered every day. That represents massive interest in this technology, but there are still significant barriers to owning an EV in Hong Kong, such as insufficient charging infrastructure.” For more details on how to get involved, become a member, and learn more about Charged Hong Kong, please visit charged.hk About Charged Hong Kong Charged Hong Kong is dedicated to supporting and accelerating the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in Hong Kong.
