During this week's opening ceremony of the first two charging stations at The Link’s Lung Cheung Plaza Car Park and Wilson Parking’s Fu Shing Building Car Park, CLP outlined the distribution of the remaining 19 charging stations in car parks of The Link, Wilson Parking and several new partners in its supply area. These stations will be gradually put in place before the end of this year as the first phase of CLP’s EV charging network installation plan. CLP looks to continuously expand the network to meet users’ need, complementing government’s initiative to promote widespread adoption of EV in Hong Kong.
“CLP shares Government’s vision of a cleaner, greener Hong Kong. Use of EVs can effectively reduce Hong Kong’s carbon footprint and improve roadside air quality. The 21 charging stations not only bring a new experience for our customers but also underpin CLP’s contribution to a climate friendly environment.” said Mr. Richard Lancaster, Acting Managing Director of CLP.
In sync with the kick-start of charging point installations at public car parks, CLP is also launching a brand new charging station signage and an EV website to demonstrate to the driving community the ease and simplicity of EV charging. Charging stations and parking areas therein will be decorated with unique EV signage, making it easy to spot.
As part of its efforts to promote the adoption of EV, CLP is offering free EV charging from now until the end of 2010, while The Link and Wilson Parking will be providing free parking for EVs during the same period.
“CLP is committed to playing a leading role in the development of infrastructure to promote the use of EVs in the city and will continue to collaborate with interested parties to that end.” said Mr. Lancaster.
