FTU calls for govt to roll out more fast EV chargers

The Federation of Trade Unions (FTU) on Monday called on the government to increase the number of fast chargers, to encourage motorists to switch to electric vehicles.

The federation said it surveyed over 300 electric vehicle users in July and found that about 75 percent relied on public chargers, of which there are around 5,000 in the city.

FTU lawmaker Michael Luk said the majority of government-run chargers have a slow or medium speed and require at least a few hours to fully charge a vehicle.

“It’s more appropriate to set up fast chargers at government-run venues. Normally, they are for the public to use, such as when people are going to sports grounds, sports centres or town halls,” he said.

“They may only stay there for about one to two hours. If there are fast chargers, their vehicle will be fully recharged.”

Luk added that the government should provide incentives for petrol stations to set up superchargers.
