Located in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong's first petrol-cum-charging station (PCS) converted from a petrol filling station (PFS), Po Kong Village Road PCS opens today (February 10). The opening of this PCS is through the Government's incentive for PFS operators by adjusting land lease terms of PFSs to promote installing retrofitting electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities at existing PFSs.
      
     The PCS is located at 5 Fung Shing Street, Diamond Hill, and operates 24 hours a day. In addition to the existing auto-fuel and auto-liquefied petroleum gas filling services, it has added two new fast chargers of 120 kW output power for the use of EVs. To facilitate the charging of commercial vehicles, the two fast chargers are reserved for use by electric taxis (e-taxis) and electric public light buses (e-PLBs) from 3pm to 6pm daily, i.e. general shift-change period for taxis.
      
     Officiating at the PCS launch ceremony, the Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Miss Diane Wong, said that the transformation from conventional fuel-propelled vehicles to EVs has become a trend. To make the effective use of existing PFS sites to provide charging services for EVs, the Government is gradually converting some existing PFSs into charging stations or PCSs to support more diversified charging facilities and to meet the fast-charging needs of different types of EVs.
          ​
     To promote the green transformation of vehicles and to achieve zero vehicular emissions before 2050, the Government has announced ceasing new registrations of fuel-propelled private cars (including hybrid vehicles) in 2035 or earlier. To cope with charging demands from the continuous growth of EVs, the Government is taking a multipronged approach to enhancing the charging network, aiming to provide approximately 10 000 fast chargers by 2035. The Government will continue to make good use of the existing PFS sites in Hong Kong, and work with PFS operators, power companies and relevant stakeholders to facilitate and promote retrofitting charging facilities at existing PFSs.
      
     In order to encourage owners of taxis and public light buses to expedite the adoption of e-taxis and e-PLBs, and by reference to the current arrangement of dedicated liquefied petroleum gas filling stations, a charging ceiling price mechanism will be established for e-taxis and e-PLBs at designated PCSs. The operators cannot charge a price that is higher than the ceiling price to be announced by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) on a monthly basis. The charging price for other EVs will be determined by the market. For details about the calculation of charging ceiling prices for e-taxis and e-PLBs, please refer to the Environment and Ecology Bureau website (www.eeb.gov.hk/en/resources_publications/guidelines/index.html).
          
     Details of the charging ceiling price have been posted at PCSs and will be announced regularly on the EPD website (www.epd.gov.hk) to enable trade practitioners to monitor the changes in charging prices.
