CLP Power Introduces Fee-Paying EV Charging Services in 2025

CLP Power Hong Kong Limited, a key player in Hong Kong EV infrastructure, announced on March 18, 2025, that it will transition from free to fee-paying EV charging services later this year. This shift, ending 16 years of complimentary charging, aligns with the growing market demand for electric vehicle chargers and the need for sustainable operations (CLP Power, 2025). With 119,000 EVs on Hong Kong’s roads and 11,188 public chargers as of March 2025, CLP aims to optimize its network of fast charging and medium-speed chargers.

To support green mobility, CLP also launched the Electric Vehicle Residential Time of Use Tariff on May 16, 2025. This tariff encourages smart charging by offering flexible pricing for residential EV users, promoting off-peak charging to ease grid pressure (CLP Power, 2025). Details of the fee structure will be shared via notices at parking lots, ensuring transparency for EV drivers.

This development reflects the rapid growth of electric vehicle adoption in Hong Kong, where EVs account for 13.1% of vehicles. As the city targets 7,000 fast chargers by mid-2027, CLP’s initiatives will enhance accessibility and efficiency in the EV charging ecosystem. Stay powered with CLP’s innovative solutions for sustainable transport!
