Background

"The Chief Executive's 2024 Policy Address" announced that the Government would earmark $300 million for the Fast Charger Incentive Scheme (the Scheme), with the target of providing 3 000 fast chargers to support 160 000 more electric vehicles (EVs). It is expected that all fast chargers will be put into service gradually by the end of 2028.

The two power companies have published Power Availability Maps for all districts in Hong Kong, covering potential locations for installing over 12 000 of FCs. Applicants can refer to the Power Availability Maps to identify suitable locations for installing FCs.

The Scheme was launched on 25 July 2025. In light of the rapid development of the EV charging market and to further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Scheme, the Environment and Ecology Bureau has refined the framework of the Scheme, and arranged a briefing to the trade on 23 September 2026 to explain the details and arrangements. The refined framework took effect on 1 October 2026.
