Public housing car parks are becoming a key part of Hong Kong’s charging network. In a Legislative Council reply on October 7, 2026, the government said the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) has provided EV chargers for about 6,000 private car parking spaces in more than 170 car parks as of June 2026, about 80% of its car parks.
Key Takeaways
- About 6,000 HA parking spaces have EV chargers in over 170 car parks.
- Most are medium chargers (about 4,310).
- A pilot will let private operators run charging at over 500 spaces.
- More than 3,500 chargers are planned in new estates over three years.
Key Figures
- Parking spaces with chargers: about 6,000 in over 170 car parks.
- Charger mix: about 1,680 standard chargers (13A sockets), about 4,310 medium chargers and 13 fast chargers.
- Coverage: including charging-enabling infrastructure, more than 30% of HA private car spaces are ready for charging.
- Pipeline: more than 3,500 chargers planned in new public housing car parks over the next three years.
What Changes
The HA invited tenders in June 2026 for a pilot scheme in which private operators will provide and run charging services in existing car parks. The government expects to award the pilot contract this year, covering more than 500 parking spaces, and plans to extend tendering to other HA car parks next year based on the results. New car parks with 100 or more spaces also include fast chargers at hourly parking spaces.
What It Means
The shift to operator-run charging in public housing creates demand for durable, networked medium-power AC equipment with reliable metering and back-end connectivity. Operators bidding for these contracts should look for OCPP support, RFID or app access and outdoor-grade enclosures.
