Implementation of fee-paying electric vehicle charging services at HA's hourly parking spaces
******************************************************************************************
The Commercial Properties Committee of the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) today (March 18) approved the arrangements for implementing fee-paying Electric Vehicle (EV) charging services in the HA's hourly parking spaces. Under these arrangements, EV charging fees will be applicable to medium chargers (MCs) installed at the HA's hourly parking spaces with effect from 10am on April 1, 2024, with an hourly charge of $20. For standard chargers installed at hourly parking spaces, provision of free charging will be continued.
"The HA implements fee-paying EV charging services for MCs installed at hourly parking spaces in the HA's carparks in complement with the Government's initiative to marketise EV charging services, so as to promote sustainable development of EV charging services in the long run. The hourly charge for MCs at the HA's hourly parking spaces are in line with market trends. The HA will review the hourly charge annually, and the approved charges will take effect from January 1 of the following year. The effective date of the first review will be on January 1, 2025," a spokesman for the HA said.
The HA will commence the implementation of fee-paying EV charging services for the existing MCs installed at hourly parking spaces in the following 26 carparks (about 100 MCs) on April 1, 2024:
- Cheung Lung Wai Estate

"The arrangements for implementing fee-paying EV charging services will also apply to new MCs to be installed at hourly parking spaces in other existing carparks and in the carparks of new public housing developments upon completion," he said.
As at the end of December 2023, the HA has provided EV chargers at about 600 hourly and 1 400 monthly private car parking spaces in about 90 carparks.
