Accelerating EV Innovations for a Sustainable Hong Kong

Day 2 : 10:45 – 11:35

The pivotal role of electric vehicle (EV) innovations drive Hong Kong’s transition toward a sustainable and low-carbon future. As one of the most densely populated cities in the world, Hong Kong faces unique challenges in reducing emissions from transportation, a major contributor to its carbon footprint. The discussion will explore the latest advancements in EV technology, including battery efficiency, charging infrastructure, and smart mobility solutions, and how these innovations can be tailored to meet the city’s specific needs.

Panellists will also address the barriers to widespread EV adoption, such as high costs, limited charging networks, and public awareness, while highlighting successful case studies and collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors. By fostering dialogue among industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators, this session aims to identify actionable strategies to accelerate EV adoption and position Hong Kong as a leader in sustainable urban mobility.
