The request was partially successful.

Dear Environmental Protection Department,

I am a PhD student from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Our research team is recently doing a project on optimising electric vehicle (EV) charging network in Hong Kong.

I would like to apply for data on the EV charging facilities (including the charging stations and the respective car parks, if applicable).

Ideally, we want the data about the spatial distribution of EV charging facilities at each Tertiary Planning Units (TPUs) and Street Blocks (SBs) or Village Clusters (VCs). To be specific, the number of EV chargers and the number of car parks with EV chargers at each TPUSB/VC.

If the aggregate data cannot be provide, a list of EV chargers and car parks with EV chargers should be fine.

In addition, we want to apply for more detailed spatial data on all private charging facilities (e.g. charging facilities at residential and commercial premises; quick and semi-quick charging facilities;
car parks of private residential buildings and estates subsidied by thr EV-charging at Home Subsidy Scheme (EHSS), and the receptive number of EV chargers.

We do not have information of private EV chargers installed at residential
or commercial premises.

Regarding your request for the spatial data of EV chargers in private
residential buildings subsidised by the EV-charging at Home Subsidy Scheme
("EHSS"), please be advised that the EHSS is to subsidise the installation
of EV charging-enabling infrastructure ("EVCEI") only at existing private
residential buildings, and the subsidies would not include the
installation of EV chargers which shall be installed by the parking space
owners according to their need in the future. Therefore, we do not have
the data on number of chargers installed under the EHSS. As regards the
spatial data of the EVCEI installed or to be installed under the EHSS,
please refer to the List of Successful Applications
[2][https://www.evhomecharging.gov.hk/downlo...
and in the List of Pending Applications :-
[3][https://www.evhomecharging.gov.hk/downlo...

Dear Environmental Protection Department,

Thank you for your reply.
I would like to post a follow-up question.
Does EPD or or other government department regulate the installation of private EV chargers? As I know, the installation of EV chargers must be inspected by professionals or consultants and be carried out by qualified contractors. Should they submit the inspection and installation report to any government department? Would EPD has the approval records to indicate the installation of EV chargers at private premises, such as residential units?

Yours faithfully,

Xinying TAN
