反觀香港，雖然我們早於1990年代已透過稅務措施吸引市民轉用電動車，亦在2008年的"香港應對氣候變化策略及行動綱領"中，加入2020年香港30%在用私家車屬電動車輛或混合動力車輛為目標，更在2014年的施政報告中提及政府會持續增購電動車，而特首及主要官員亦將會牽頭使用。
In the case of Hong Kong as early as the 1990s we encouraged people to switch to EVs through tax measures . In the Hong Kongs Climate Change Strategy and Action Agenda in 2008 we incorporated the target concerning 30 % of private cars in use being EVs or hybrid cars by 2020 . It was also mentioned in the 2014 Policy Address that the Government would continue to purchase more EVs while the Chief Executive and principle officials would take the lead in using them
然而，在這些目標和口號背後，政府有否盡力達標呢？
However behind these targets and slogans has the Government tried its best to achieve the targets?
答案可以說是否定的，甚至可以說令人極度失望。
We can say that the answer is in the negative and is also extremely disappointing
首先，新一份的《香港氣候行動藍圖2030+》刪除了三成在用私家車屬電動車輛或混合動力車輛的目標，而在提出增購電動車政策後，政府車隊中的電動車比例竟然是不升反跌，由2015年的4.8%下跌至2017年的2.1%；特首及主要官員中，只有一人使用電動車，實在難以令人相信當局有決心推動電動車普及化。
First of all in the new Hong Kongs Climate Action Plan 2030 report the target concerning 30 % of private cars in use being EVs or hybrid cars has been removed . After the announcement of the policy on the purchase of more EVs the proportion of EVs among government vehicles has surprisingly decreased instead of increased . It dropped from 4.8 % in 2015 to 2.1 % in 2017
其次，當局以稅務措施吸引市民轉用電動車的政策反覆。
Besides the authorities policy to attract people to switch to EVs by means of tax measures is rather erratic
首先是倒行逆施，並非鼓勵更多電動車供應，而是懲罰一些成功者，取消全數豁免電動車的首次登記稅，改為將稅務寬免的上限設為97,500元，購買電動車的數量應聲下滑。
Firstly the policy is regressive . The Administration does not encourage the supply of more EVs but punishes those who succeed in switching to EVs as it has abolished the full waiver of first registration tax for electric private cars and instead capped their first registration tax concession at 97,500 . As a result there is a sudden drop in the number of EVs purchased
而今年財政預算案推出的"一換一"計劃亦只適用於車齡不少於6年、車主擁有該車不少於3年的人士，又被批評為換車門檻過高和嚴苛，相信難以吸引車主棄用現有私家車，改為購買電動車。
The one - for - one replacement scheme introduced in the Budget this year only applies to vehicles not less than six years old which are possessed by the owners for not less than three years . This threshold is being criticized as too high and stringent . I believe that it can hardly attract vehicle owners to replace their existing private cars with EVs
事實上，要成功推動車主使用電動車，財政誘因是其次，建立良好的配套措施，特別是電動車的充電設施才是關鍵。
In fact in order to be successful in promoting the use of EVs by vehicle owners financial incentive is not the main factor . The key factor is the provision of good supporting facilities especially charging facilities for EVs
根據環境保護署的資料顯示，現時全港有1,862個充電站，相對於全港1萬多輛登記電動車，平均每輛車只有0.2個充電設施。
According to the information from the Environmental Protection Department there are currently 1 862 charging stations in the whole territory . As there are over 10 000 registered EVs in Hong Kong on average each EV can only make use of 0.2 charging station
而且這些充電站大部分分布在港島和九龍，新界區合共只有330個。
Besides these charging stations are mostly scattered over the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon while there are only 330 stations in the New Territories
另外兩個問題是，充電站當中，有部分是位於政府停車場，並非24小時開放給公眾使用，而且約只有三分之一的充電站能夠提供快速充電。
There are two other problems . Among the charging stations part of them are located in government car parks which are not open for public use round the clock . And only about one third of charging stations can provide fast charging service
在充電站難尋、充電費時的前提下，駕駛者使用電動車的誘因亦會大減。
Under the circumstances when it is difficult to locate the charging stations and also time consuming to charge the vehicles there is less incentive for drivers to use EVs
撇除公眾可租用的充電站，其實在私人停車場內，電動車充電站的發展亦只是在起步階段。
Excluding the charging stations rentable by the public in private car parks the development of charging stations for EVs is only at its initial stage
雖然《香港規劃標準與準則》建議新樓宇內30%的私家車泊位應提供充電設施，但對於現有樓宇，政府實際上並沒有任何針對私人停車場，例如商廈、商場或私人屋苑增建充電站的政策。
Although it is suggested in the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines that in new housing developments 30 % of private car parking spaces should be equipped with charging facilities to the existing buildings the Government actually does not have any policy to require installation of additional charging stations in private car parks of for example commercial buildings shopping malls or private housing estates
商場和商廈的業主為了吸引人流及租客，相對願意自資增加充電配套，但私人屋苑則沒有這類誘因。
In order to attract more people and tenants the owners of shopping malls and commercial buildings are more willing to install more charging facilities with their own money . But there is no such incentive for private housing estates
過去亦有不少報道指出，業主立案法團和管理公司以影響屋苑電力負荷、帶來火災風險，甚至不帶原因，拒絕業主要求安裝充電器的訴求。
In the past it has been reported at times that some owners corporations and management companies declined owners request to install chargers for reasons of fire risk derived from overloading of electricity in housing estates or even without any reasons
要支持電動車普及化，當局便不應迴避應有的責任。
In supporting the popularization of EVs the Government should not shy away from its responsibility
首先要做的是，對發展電動車提出具體、全面和持續的政策，例如要改變思維，不應堅持公共充電設施只屬輔助性質，反而要持續增加公共充電設施的數量，例如停車收費錶改建為充電裝置，亦要設法鼓勵逐步提升現有充電站的充電速度，提升效率。
First of all it has to put forward a specific holistic and sustainable policy on the development of EVs . For instance it has to change its mindset that public charging facilities are only supportive in nature . On the contrary it has to keep on increasing the amount of public charging facilities like installing charging devices to parking meters
同時，可以推出針對性的措施，例如提供津貼，鼓勵和協助私人停車場，特別是私人屋苑增加充電配套，並考慮將《香港規劃標準與準則》中，新樓宇內30%的私家車泊位應提供充電設施的建議改為強制性措施。
It should also find ways to encourage gradual enhancement of the charging speed of the existing charging stations so as to enhance efficiency . At the same time it can launch some targeted measures such as providing allowances to encourage and assist private car parks especially in private housing estates in installing more charging facilities . It can also consider turning the proposal concerning 30 % of private car parking spaces in new housing developments being equipped with charging facilities into a mandatory measure
另外，也不能忽視其他研究及開拓相關科技的工作，例如研究及推廣使用移動充電的設備，減少充電設施所佔用的空間和成本，牽頭開發手機應用程式，分享全港可供租用充電設施的位置、數量和使用情況的實時資訊，增加透明度，方便車主。
In addition the Government cannot neglect such work as studying and exploring the technology concerned . It should for example study and promote the use of mobile charging devices reduce the space occupied by charging facilities and their cost and take the lead in launching mobile application to share the real - time information on the location number and availability of rentable charging - equipped parking spaces across the territory in order to enhance transparency and facilitate EV owners
代理主席，推廣潔淨能源車輛，減少污染是世界的趨勢，希望政府當局在力推智慧城市政策的同時加快步伐，完善相關政策，不要令香港在20年後落後成為少數仍然有購買傳統燃油汽車的城市，甚至淪落為活動的燃油汽車博物館。
Deputy President it is a global trend to promote using clean energy vehicles and reduce pollution . I hope that when the Administration is vigorously promoting the smart city policy it can quicken its pace in improving the policies concerned so that 20 years later Hong Kong will not become one of the few backward cities which still purchase traditional fuel - engined vehicles or even degenerate into a museum of running fuel - engined vehicles
當全世界都在採取果斷和堅決的措施時，局長剛才表示特區政府仍然採取鼓勵政策，這種思維上的落後，才真正令我極度失望。
While the whole world is adopting decisive and determined measures the Secretary just said that the SAR Government is still adopting incentive measures . This kind of backward thinking is really highly disappointing to me
我謹此陳辭，支持今天的議案及所有修正案。
With these remarks I support the motion and all the amendments today
代理主席，今天的議題是"推動電動車普及化"，我先申報我是電動車車主。
Deputy President todays motion is Promoting the popularization of electric vehicles . First I declare that I am an electric vehicle EV owner
不過，即使我不是電動車車主，我仍然會發言，支持易志明議員提出的議案。
Even though I am not an EV owner I will still speak to support the motion moved by Mr Frankie YICK
雖然今次的議案有8項修正案，但各項修正案也同意原議案的大原則，認為政府必須推動電動車普及化，只是各位議員有更多具體的建議。
Although eight Members have moved amendments to the motion all of them agree on the major principle of the motion namely that the Government must promote the popularization of EVs with more concrete proposals put forward
所以，我同時支持所有修正案。
Therefore I support all the amendments
代理主席，我相信政府某程度上同意今次的議案，否則，財政預算案也不會出現電動車"一換一"的稅務寬減措施。
Deputy President I believe that the Government agrees with the motion to a certain extent . Otherwise the Budget would not have announced a one - for - one replacement scheme for EV buyers to enjoy tax concessions
但是，推動電動車普及化是否只從金錢方面入手就可以做到？
However is money the only incentive to promote the popularization of EVs?
在今年2月7日的大會上，我和莫乃光議員分別提出了書面及口頭質詢，關注多功能智慧燈柱會否加裝充電裝備，而過去亦有議員就電動車的充電安排質詢政府。
At the Council meeting held on 7 February Mr Charles Peter MOK and I raised oral and written questions respectively asking whether charging facilities would be incorporated in multi - functional smart lampposts for EVs . In the past there were also Members raising questions to the Government about the charging arrangements for EVs
今天的原議案及修正案均對充電設施表達了不少意見，可見有足夠而可靠的充電設施，是推動電動車普及化的重要元素。
Todays motion and amendments have voiced quite a lot of opinions regarding charging facilities which show that sufficient and reliable charging facilities are crucial for promoting the popularization of EVs
但是，很可惜，現時全港的公共充電設施非常不足，在數字上，雖然全港有1,846個公共充電設施，但當中915個是標準充電器，充電1小時只能夠行駛10多公里，效率非常低。
Unfortunately the public charging facilities for EVs in Hong Kong are seriously inadequate . On the face of it there are 1 846 public charging facilities but 915 of them are standard charging stations which can only add a dozen kilometres of range in an hour of charging . Such efficiency is far from satisfactory
而每當議員質詢政府，何時會加裝或將標準充電器升級，政府就會說"公共充電設施只屬輔助性質，不可以作為日常充電設施"，又說"車主應該充分考慮其日常充電安排，而不應依賴公共充電設施。
When Member asked the Government when it will install or upgrade the standard chargers it said public charging facilities are merely supplementary in nature They do not serve as daily charging facilities and Potential buyers of e - PCs [electric private cars] should fully consider the daily charging arrangements required and should not rely on public charging facilities for daily charging of their e - PCs
政府沒有充分理據投入大量公帑，為電動私家車車主提供日常充電設施"。換句話說，即要求電動車車主自行解決問題。
The Government also sees insufficient justifications for spending large amount of public money to provide e - PC owners with public charging facilities In other words EV owners have to solve the problem on their own
但是，現實是並非所有人的工作地方也有充電裝備，即使有，數目亦有限，一般"打工仔"沒可能時刻留意何時有充電位。
However in reality not everyone can access charging facilities at their workplaces . Even if charging facilities are available their number is limited . It is impossible for ordinary wage earners to closely monitor the availability of charging facilities
在車位短缺的情況下，很多臨時停車場的車位也供不應求，這類停車場隨時連閉路電視也沒有，何況是電動車的充電設施呢？
With insufficient parking spaces there is a shortage of parking spaces in many temporary car parks which even do not have CCTV installed let alone charging facilities for EVs
即使自己擁有車位，但屋苑的電網屬於業主立案法團，自行申請安裝私人充電設施亦不容易。
Some EV owners have their own parking space but the electric networks in their housing estates belong to the owners corporations . It is therefore not easy at all for them to apply for installation of private EV charging facilities
除了私家車市場，政府有否考慮貨車等商用車的處境？
Apart from the private car market has the Government considered the situation of commercial vehicles such as goods vehicles?
現時大部分商用車也停泊在路邊或一些臨時停車場，即使日後貨車可以用電力驅動，但在泊位持續短缺的情況下，相信日後依然沒有機會停泊在有充電設備的停車場；而且我亦不認為臨時停車場會裝設充電設施，協助政府推動電動車普及化。
At present most commercial vehicles are parked at the roadside or in some temporary car parks . Even if goods vehicles can be propelled solely by electric power in the future they probably do not have the opportunity to park in car parks with charging facilities . And I also do not believe that those temporary car parks would install charging facilities to help the Government promote the popularization of EVs
代理主席，基於商用車沒有機會停泊在有充電設施的停車場，以及現時有95%的空氣污染物是來自商用車，所以很大程度上，公共充電設施不是為私家車而設，反而是為日後商用車電動化做準備，同時為電動車全面普及化提供有利環境和誘因。
Deputy President since commercial vehicles do not have the opportunity to park in car parks with charging facilities and that 95 % of air pollutants come from commercial vehicles public charging facilities are to a large extent not for electric private cars but for paving the way for electrification of commercial vehicles as well as creating a favourable environment and an incentive for the popularization of EVs
然而，現實情況幾乎沒有足夠誘因，令到普羅的燃油車車主改用電動車，更遑論推動電動車普及化。
However the current situation hardly provides adequate incentives for ordinary fuel vehicles owners to switch to EVs not to mention to promote the adoption of EVs
雖然今天電動車的發展受到電池及充電技術的限制，但電動車確實是一種大趨勢。
Although the development of EVs is restricted by battery and charging technologies EVs are indeed a dominant trend
科技日新月異，我們無法估計電池及充電技術在何年何月何日會有突破性的發展。
With the advancement of technology there is no telling that when there will be a breakthrough in battery and charging technologies
可能在數年或數月後，電動車已經發展到只需要充電5至10分鐘就可以行駛數十公里，令到電動私家車及商用車能夠廣泛為人所用。
Perhaps in just a few years or months a 5 to 10 minutes charge time can enable EVs travel dozens of kilometres thus popularizing the use of electric private cars and commercial vehicles
不過，如果電動車的政策一直維持現狀，充電設施依然不足，政府又繼續把電動車的發展完全交給市場主導，袖手旁觀，電動車在香港也不會普及，因為一部無法充電的電動車與一堆廢鐵沒有分別。
However if the policies on EVs maintain the status quo―charging facilities remain inadequate and the Government keeps holding a market - driven principle for the development of EVs and standing aside with folded arms―EVs will never be popular in Hong Kong . It is because an EV that cannot be charged is no different from a heap of scrap iron
陳克勤議員，由於梁繼昌議員、莫乃光議員、盧偉國議員及容海恩議員的修正案已獲得通過，請動議你經修改的修正案。
Since the question was agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present he therefore declared that the amendment was passed . Mr CHAN Hak - kan as the amendments of Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr Charles Peter MOK Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Ms YUNG Hoi - yan have been passed you may move your revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經梁繼昌議員、莫乃光議員、盧偉國議員及容海恩議員 修正的易志明議員議案。
President I move that Mr Frankie YICKs motion as amended by Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr Charles Peter MOK Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Ms YUNG Hoi - yan be further amended by my revised amendment
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：陳克勤議員就經梁繼昌議員、莫乃光議員、盧偉國議員及容海恩議員修正的易志明議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That Mr CHAN Hak - kans amendment to Mr Frankie YICKs motion as amended by Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr Charles Peter MOK Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Ms YUNG Hoi - yan be passed
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：陳淑莊議員就經梁繼昌議員、莫乃光議員、盧偉國議員、容海恩議員及陳克勤議員修正的易志明議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That Ms Tanya CHANs amendment to Mr Frankie YICKs motion as amended by Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr Charles Peter MOK Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok Ms YUNG Hoi - yan and Mr CHAN Hak - kan be passed
主席，我首先多謝易志明議員和其他8位議員就電動車政策提出議案和修正案，令易志明議員提出的原議案更加豐富和充實。
President first I thank Mr Frankie YICK for moving a motion about the policy on electric vehicles EVs . I also thank the eight Members for moving various amendments that enrich and add more substance to the original motion
我在這裏申報，我是電動車的使用者和支持者。
I want to disclose here that I am a user and a supporter of EVs
為何說我是電動車的支持者而不是電動車政策的支持者呢？
Why do I say that I am a supporter of EVs but not a supporter of the policy on EVs?
因為香港特區政府的電動車政策真的非常落後。
This is because the SAR Governments policy on EVs is really very backward
主席，為何要使用電動車？
President what is the reason for using EVs?
很簡單，就是為了改善路邊空氣質素，減少依賴化石燃料，這也是世界的大趨勢。
The reason is very simple . We want to improve roadside air quality and reduce reliance on fossil fuels and the latter is already a world trend
一項政策是否成功，我認為要從3方面作出衡量：第一，政策目標是甚麼；第二，政策內容是甚麼；第三，實際上在社會的落實情況。
In my opinion we can tell the success or otherwise of a policy by looking at three things . First the policy objective . Second the policy content
剛才多位議員已曾提到，全世界很多地方均有訂定電動車政策目標，以及禁售汽油車的時間表。
And third its actual implementation in society . A number of Members have already mentioned that many places in the world have formulated their policy objectives on using EVs and timetables for banning the sale of fuel - engined vehicles
我這裏有一個較清晰的圖表，大家可以看 到荷蘭將於2025年禁售汽油車，印度是2030年，英國和法國則是2040年。
I have a clear table here . We can see that the Netherlands will ban the sale of fuel - engined vehicles starting from 2025 . India will do so from 2030 onwards
因為特區政府的電動車政策根本不入流。
This is because the SAR Governments policy on EVs is simply not worth any mentioning at all
我們現時仍然說到了2020年，才有三成汽車屬混能車，所以在政策目標方面，政府是完全不敢制訂。
Even now we are still talking about having 30 % of all our vehicle being hybrid vehicles by 2020 . That is why the Government simply does not dare to formulate any policy objectives at all
除了因為要達到剛才所說的政策目標外，還因為有政策上的支持，鼓勵國民使用電動車。
The need for attaining the above mentioned target aside another reason was in fact the policy support provided for encouraging the use of EVs by Mainland people
內地對新能源汽車有何扶持政策？
What policy support has been given by the Mainland authorities to users of new energy vehicles?
購買新車有補貼；駕駛新能源汽車的車主可享有兩小時免費泊車優惠；所有新建樓宇需要預留一成地方供電動車安裝充電設備；新能源汽車不受單、雙號車牌限制。
Subsidy is granted to purchasers of new EVs; owners of new energy vehicles can enjoy free parking for two hours; 10 % of the total area has to be reserved in all new buildings for the installation of charging facilities for EVs; new energy vehicles will not be subject to the odd - even licence plate restriction on driving in the city
再者，公務物流車輛可獲優先發牌，而且電動物流車入城配送不受限制。
Furthermore priority will be given to issuing licences to government logistics vehicles and no restrictions will be imposed on electric logistics vehicles delivering goods in cities
因此，內地在所有政策上均鼓勵更多使用公共和私人電動車，盡量給予方便。
Therefore policies are in place in the Mainland to encourage and facilitate more extensive use of public and private EVs as far as possible
特區政府在2011年設立了3億元的綠色運輸試驗基金，財政司司長轄下也設立了一個推動使用電動車輛督導委員會，但一年有否召開一兩次會議？
We cannot deny that the SAR Government has set up the 300 million Pilot Green Transport Fund PGTF in 2011 and the Steering Committee on the Promotion of Electric Vehicles has also been established under the chairmanship of the Financial Secretary but have one or two regular meetings been convened every year?
特區政府對於安裝充電站的新建築物會批出樓面面積豁免，但卻被佔了便宜，原來安裝充電站後可以不接駁電源。
The SAR Government has granted floor area concessions to developers for the installation of charging facilities in new buildings but its generosity has been exploited and there is actually no electricity supply in the charging facilities installed
然而，一旦取消電動車稅務優惠，2017年同期即4月至9月的電動車增長幅度卻下跌至只有0.2%，但其他車輛是否完全沒有增加呢？
However upon the abolition of the tax concession measure for EVs the growth rate of electric cars in the corresponding period in 2017 has dropped to 0.2 % only but does it mean that the quantities of other vehicles have shown utterly no increase?
如果局長說要遏止電動車的增長，為何他對其他汽車的增長卻視若無睹？
If it is the Secretarys objective to curb the growth of EVs why does he choose to turn a blind eye to the growth of other types of vehicles?
主席，我不禁要思考這個問題。
President I cannot help but wonder
不過，我認為就此批評環境局局長，其實也有欠公道，因為他也想推廣電動車政策，但主導權不在他手上。
However I do consider it unfair for us to criticize the Secretary for the Environment for such policy failures because he also wishes to promote the use of EVs but he is not at liberty to decide
我明白政府不想市民濫用這個機制，但從支持環保的角度看來，如果能藉"一換一"減少舊車，那怕是在市場購入一輛舊車再以之更換一輛電動車，也能令市面上老舊的汽油車或柴油車減少一輛，這是環境局應做的事，為何要把門檻訂得這麼高呢？
I understand that the Government is trying to prevent abuse of the scheme but from the perspective of supporting environmental protection if the launching of the one - for - one replacement scheme can really help to phase out more old vehicles even though an applicant has chosen to purchase an old vehicle in the market and then replace it with an EV under the scheme this can still serve the purpose of reducing the number of old vehicles running on the road by one fuel - engined or diesel vehicle . This is what the Environment Bureau should do and what is the point of adopting a very high threshold for the scheme?
當局推出新政策後，全港只有11宗申請，不論是高價還是低價的電動車，似乎也無人和應。
The Government has received only 11 applications since the announcement of the scheme and it seems that the scheme has failed to attract potential buyers of both high - priced and lower - priced EVs
主席，民建聯會支持所有修正案，亦會支持易志明議員的原議案。
President the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong supports all the amendments and we also support the original motion moved by Mr Frankie YICK
主席，首先，我感謝易志明議員提出今天這項議案辯論，讓我們可以在此集中精神，為推動香港電動車普及化出謀獻策。
President first of all I thank Mr Frankie YICK for proposing this motion debate today so that we can gather here and focus on finding a strategy for promoting the popularization of electric vehicles EVs in Hong Kong
香港作為先進城市，也希望可以為減排節能、減慢全球暖化出一分力。
As an advanced city Hong Kong also wishes to play a part in emission reduction and energy conservation so as to slow down global warming
所以，政府早在20年前便開始提出政策推動電動車，但20年過去，我們卻看不到有甚麼重大發展。
Hence as early as 20 years ago the Government started to launch policies to promote EVs . However 20 years have gone and we do not see any major progress in this regard
我們明白目標未必可以完全達到，但如果連目標和計劃也欠缺，便會不知方向，原地踏步。
We understand that we may not be able to fully achieve our target but if we do not even set a target or lay down a plan we will lose our direction and make no progress
香港很多市民，包括我身邊的朋友，也很希望可以轉用電動車代替燃油車，但他們面對兩大問題：第一，價錢昂貴；及第二，充電設施不足。
Many people in Hong Kong including friends around me want to switch to EVs and replace their fuel - engined vehicles . But they have two issues first EVs are too expensive; and second charging facilities are inadequate
所以，政府若能解決上述兩個問題，相信很多人也願意放棄使用燃油車，轉用電動車。
So if the Government can address these two issues I believe many people are willing to give up their fuel - engined vehicles and switch to EVs
所以，如果能夠解決這兩個問題，相信香港便可以踏前一大步。
Hence if the Government can solve these two issues I believe Hong Kong can make a big step forward
因此，政府在今次財政預算案提到會再次提供經濟誘因，我們當然歡迎，因為經濟誘因是有吸引力的，雖然不是相當足夠，但我希望政府可以增加經濟誘因。
Hence the Government has announced in this Budget to provide economic incentives again . We certainly welcome the proposal because economic incentives are appealing despite not very adequate and I hope the Government can provide more economic incentives
所以，政府應該思考如何簡化政策、提高誘因，但當中最大的問題仍然是充電設施。
Hence the Government should think about how to simplify the policy and provide more incentives . But the biggest problem remains the charging facilities
主席，剛才很多議員也提到，現時想在街道上找到充電設施相當困難，政府的公共停車場亦欠缺足夠的充電車位。
President just now many Members mentioned that it is very difficult to find charging facilities on the street . Public car parks also lack adequate parking spaces with charging facilities
有議員質疑屋苑究竟可以提供多少個充電車位，這仍然是一個大問題。
Some Members question the number of parking spaces with charging facilities can be provided in a housing estate . This is a big problem
因此，如果政府真的想推動電動車發展，必須要有完整政策，為現時及未來做好準備，例如如何協助屋苑提供足夠充電車位，如何資助及支援本地車輛研發工作，如何提供潔淨能力予電動車充電，以及如何處理廢舊電池回收等。
Hence if the Government truly wishes to promote the development of EVs it must have a comprehensive policy to properly prepare for the present and the future such as finding ways to assist housing estates in providing adequate parking spaces with charging facilities to fund and assist the research and development of local vehicles to providing clean energy for charging EVs to handle the recycling of retired batteries etc
所以，政府千萬不要再說一套，做一套，希望今天聽到我們的意見後，會真正支持電動車發展。
So the Government should match its words with its deeds . I hope that after listening to our views today it will truly support the development of EVs
所以，我在此呼籲，如果他們想做真真正正關心民生的議員，請回來開會。
Hence let me appeal to those Members if they really want to be Members who care about peoples livelihood they should come back and attend the meeting
我亦要回應陳淑莊議員剛才的發言，她說政府誤導市民，但有關高鐵問題方面，她所說的未必是事實。
I would like to respond to Ms Tanya CHANs comments just now . She said that the Government misled the people but as far as the XRL issue was concerned what she said might not be true
事實上，我們看到社會上有不少人正在誤導市民，例如在高鐵站附近會被人拘捕云云、甚麼"強力部門"、"釘書機"案等，均在誤導市民。
In fact there are many people around us trying to deceive others and rumours such as people in the vicinity of XRL stations would be arrested the so - called powerful agencies and the stapler incident and so on are all misleading
