Can Hong Kong Become an All-Electric Transport City?
Event Registration | AustCham
The third event for 2015 in the InterCham Innovation Series will explore the merits of supercharging the adoption of electric vehicles in Hong Kong in order for our city to become the leading electric transportation city in Asia.
We have gathered an expert group of speakers with both global and specific local expertise on electric vehicles and transport, to discuss and debate both the commercial and environmental benefits of proactively driving this bold vision for Hong Kong.
Our think tank session will review all elements of the ecosystem for both private and public transportation and the necessary conditions that would need to co-exist in order for EVs to be HK’s predominant form of transportation in the next 5-10 years.
