I'm wondering what the annual Vehicle License fee is for the Model S in HK. According to the Transport Department, the fee for "Electrically Powered Passenger Vehicle not exceeding one tonne unladen weight" is $440. Is this the fee we pay for a pure electric private car?
Also, what are the costs for charging the Model S at home/residential parking lot, i.e. electricity by CLP/HK Electric? According to CLP's website:
Effective 1 Jan 2014, the Average Basic Tariff is 88.4 cents/unit and the Fuel Clause Charge is 22.4 cents/unit, so the Average Total Tariff is 110.8 cents/unit.
Since 1 unit = 1kWh, does it mean that to fully charge up the the 85kWh Model S from empty, it'd cost me $1.108 x 85 = $94.18?
From what I understood, it is mostly free to charge at public charging stations operated by CLP/HK Electric as they are subsidised by the government at the moment. I guess we really should make use of them whenever we can then?
