The problem in Hong Kong is space. If you visit the city, you will soon realize that they optimized in every way possible the space available there, you can find malls inside subway stations, malls occupying 4-5 underground floors of residence buildings, restaurants inside of apartments, busy streets filled with a lot of people everywhere... The space is also very expensive there, its real estate is among the most expensive in the world!
The land area of Hong Kong is not small, and the public figure is 1,110 square kilometers. This area is large enough for 7 million people. However, a lot of land in Hong Kong has not been developed or is not allowed to be developed, because it will lead to a decline in house prices.
1:40 It is obvious that "Public Charging" will be more expensive than "charging at home." Similar to how Restaurant Food are more expensive than "eating at home." YET even at that rate, EVs run cheaper than ICE.
In the UK the difference between the cheapest home grid tariff at night and public DC charging at its highest price is 12x more expensive. But for TESLA drivers it is about 4.5 times more than the cheapest home charging.
There will never be a boom in private vehicles in Hong Kong - there is no space in the city. Only rich people drive cars. It's like saying is Venice ready for a boom in EVs. It is possible all buses will eventually be electric, as this is already the case in Shenzhen (which is more advanced than Hong Kong). As for taxis, I don't know - that will depend on range, and whether battery swap technology is available.
In case of taxis, only if battery swap is feasible and affordable. A lot of taxis are driven 24 hours a day by different drivers working different shifts, they fill up before handing it to the next driver, they don't have the time to charge up.
Hongkong is like New York,too crowd ,the space are too small to acomodate Public charging,also most People use Public transport since the region are very small

3:16 Installing Chargers in Gas stations (in HK) is not practical: gas stations do not have the space to for 5~10 vehicles taking up space that would be used for refueling ICE cars. Gas Station companies should offer to install and maintain charger facilities in Condominiums and Car Park buildings and offer "revenue sharing". Fees will be based on Duration of the Park, and Quantity of Charge/Electricity provided.
Here in Norway, private car sales are 95% BEV, not including hybrids, obviously. Gas stations are usually called "energy stations" now and they're happy to provide charging that they can earn money on - gas and diesel are not profitable, it's the junk food they sell that makes them money. Anyway, a place like Hong Kong with low speeds and short distances should be abundantly perfect for EVs. Especially local pollution should be reduced drastically by this shift. Lastly, your sound guy is still doing a very poor job. If the pointless and unnecessary background music is too loud to hear e.g. the professor talk at 3:50, it's a poorly done video.
HK infrastructure is in 80 90 era where there was no conceive on any EV. So it is hard to build up charger facilities on old infrastructure because they were not designed to be provided.
There are no nuclear power stations within the territory of HKSAR. The closest nuclear power station is in Daya Bay, on the east side of Shenzhen. What is HK's main source of electricity? A: Mainland China. Whatever is used to produce electricity there is whatever Hong Kong will use.
If HK is sourcing from China which they are, it would be from plants running on LNG or liquid natural gas, plus a bit of nuclear, solar, hydro and coal. In China, coal is only used in demand surge situation.
@@Fabulousprofound168 I am from Hong Kong, and the answer is yes. Hong Kong is a tiny territory with no resources. HK doesn't just get electricity from the Mainland - it gets an even larger percentage of its drinking water (some 70-80%) from the Mainland.
The EV paradigm will pass HK and Singapore by as most the population live in high rise apartments while the rest of the world moves on and benefits. Car parks in private buildings will have to resort to using commercial operators, who will add unnecessary cost, making electric charging unattractive. Apartment residents also have to vacate the spot once car is charged. In contrast, landed homes owners can invest in solar panels and a solar battery storage system which can not only be used for charging their car, but also for generating electricity for their homes.
In a heavily populated city with parking so few and price of parking space over the moon.. I'll settle for a full scale ebike with top speed of 60 mph (96 kph)
HK needs NIO power swap! 4 minute battery swap is perfect for apartment dwellers and the footprint of the power swap station is smaller than the space needed for many charging stalls to refill the same number of vehicles in an hour.
@Kennon959 BYD and local Hong Kong government tried to electrify but ultimately failed due to performance and lack of infrastructure. Otherwise there wouldn't be any LPG hybrids at all.
Have test-driven many EVs here in Xiamen in the last weeks. Despite the amazing software and all the other gimmicks, the ride is not convincing... And these new Chinese EVs, new brand or model every week like smartphones...lack long-term reviews! I'd give em 10 more years...
Only 5% of us indians own cars, while the remaining 95% cannot afford them. Even if these attractive EVs from BYD enter the Indian market, a vast majority of us indians will still find them unaffordable. I wish I had never been born in this poor country.
There is plenty of available land in Hong Kong, with a land utilization rate of only 4%. Development has been limited due to “environmental concerns.” However, I believe Hongkongers will eventually reach a consensus to develop the remaining 96% to improve quality of life.
But even the Chinese government knows Hong Kong is way too crowded for large-scale adoption of EV's. Money is better spent on improving the Mass Transit Railway and eventually electrifying all the double-decker buses and commercial passenger minivans.
China has the largest and most advanced battery recycling industry in the world. They use advanced low cost chemical processes to breakdown and separate lithium, cobalt and Nickel.
Chinese are leading the world in EV tech. Their cars have superior EV batteries and software, meanwhile the American and European EV cars are sold with outdated tech with higher price point.
mobile robot chargers are the future (subscription model) home stationary chargers for rich people will still exist too, public chargers for poor people will still exist but it'll be like NHS

The Zeeker 007 can charge 10-80% in 10.5 minutes. HK can simply require that all EVs can charge that fast. You wait in line to charge just like a gas station. Everyone gets a 10 minute charge.
