如果是這樣，政府從的士政策方面，大力推動使用電動車的方案，又是否可行呢？
Under the circumstances is it feasible for the Government to actively promote the use of EVs under the taxi policy?
這是不設實際的。
This is not practical
這是一件好事，雖然我未有在修正案中提出，但既然我已站起來發言，我也想提出這項建議。
This proposal is desirable . Although it is not incorporated in my amendment I also want to bring it out since I am already standing here to speak
行動是最實際的，政府應該多聽取民間的意見，急民之所急，這才是最重要的。
Action speaks louder than words . The Government should listen more to public opinions and address the peoples pressing needs . This is the most important point
我謹此陳辭，多謝代理主席。
Thank you Deputy President
我跟政府爭拗了很長時間，車輛的數目由2003年大約40萬輛，增至今天的60萬輛，增加差不多50%，增幅十分誇張。
I have argued with the Government for a long time the number of vehicles rises from around 400 000 in 2003 to 600 000 nowadays it has raised by almost 50 % the rate of increase is quite exaggerated
政府不做任何工夫，然後用"龜速"的反應來應付今天眼前的問題。
The Government did nothing and then responded at a snails pace in tackling the imminent problems today
所以，我十分希望局長稍後回應時，能夠從宏觀角度考慮這件事，而不是集中說今天的充電設備已經足夠應付今天的需要。
Therefore I hope that the Secretary would consider the issue from a broader perspective when he responded later rather than focusing on the point that the charging facilities today are adequate to cope with the current demand
對不起，今天電動車的需求受到限制，是因為價格非常龐大，甚至免稅後，二手電動車仍然十分昂貴。
Sorry that the demand for EVs today is being restricted due to very exorbitant prices the second - hand ones are still very expensive even after tax deduction
主席，燃油車排放是空氣污染的主要源頭，所以推動電動車普及是大勢所趨，是全球化趨勢，我們沒有理由反對。
President emissions from fuel - engined vehicles are the major source of air pollution . Therefore promoting the popularization of electric vehicles EVs is a major trend worldwide and we have no reason to raise objection
易志明議員這次提出議案辯論，讓大家集思廣益，提出一些建議。
This time around Mr Frankie YICK proposes a motion debate for Members to put their heads together and raise some suggestions
老實說，就這問題，我還仍然無法想得通，所以我今天想請教各位高明。
Frankly speaking I am still unable to sort out one question . So today I wish to seek Members enlightenment
我經常覺得，在採取各項措施後，究竟對於減排有多少幫助呢？
I always wonder how effectively we can help to reduce emissions after taking so many measures
讓我先談政府提供的財政誘因，使用公帑補貼電動車車主，鼓勵駕駛汽油車或柴油車的人改用電動車。
Let me first talk about the Governments financial incentive of providing subsidies to EV owners with public money as a means of encouraging owners of petrol or diesel vehicles to switch to EVs
政府近日便提出了很多車價上的財政誘因，包括提高首次登記稅寬減。
Recently the Government rolled out many financial incentives concerning EVs prices including an increase of the first registration tax FRT concession
其實，我也同意政府所指，車輛排放的原兇是商用車。
Actually I also agree with the Governments assertion that the culprit of vehicular emissions is commercial vehicles
雖然商用車比私家車少，但商用車每天長時間在道路上行走。
While private cars outnumber commercial vehicles commercial vehicles travel on roads for long hours every day
在今天眾多修正案中，大家或許猜不到我最同意的是哪項修正案。
Perhaps Members are unable to tell which of the various amendments today is the most agreeable to me
容海恩議員建議"加快推動公共交通車輛及商用車輛轉用電動車"，我認為這才是最大目標。
Ms YUNG Hoi - yan proposes to expedite the promotion of the switch of public transport and commercial vehicles to EVs . I think this should rather be the major objective
我想到一種方法，既可以增加電動車，亦可以解決政府的難言之忍：一方面要控制私家車的整體數目，以免造成交通擠塞及令路邊空氣污染惡化，但同時亦要鼓勵車主選擇電動車。
I can think of a way to increase the number of EVs and resolve the difficulty faced by the Government While it must contain the overall number of private cars to avoid the deterioration of traffic congestion and roadside air quality it must also encourage car owners to choose EVs
如果共享乘車服務提供者在燃料費方面用電力比柴油便宜，他當然會改用電動車。
If a carpooling service provider finds that the fuel cost of using electricity is lower than that of using diesel he will certainly switch to EVs
舉例而言，就易志明議員的議案第二點，我亦希望他澄清。
For example I also hope that Mr Frankie YICK can clarify point 2 in his motion
他建議"修改《建築物條例》的相關條文，以強制所有新建之商住樓宇內的車位，必須提供充電設施，供電動車充電之用"。
He proposes to amend the relevant provisions of the Buildings Ordinance to mandate the provision of charging facilities for charging EVs at all parking spaces in newly constructed commercial and residential buildings
容海恩議員則建議"增加誘因以鼓勵發展商"進行此事。
And Ms YUNG Hoi - yan instead proposes to introduce additional incentives to encourage developers to do so
易志明議員的議案第三點並沒有建議強制政府物業及公營房屋停車場提供充電設施。
Point 3 of Mr Frankie YICKs motion is devoid of any proposal on the mandatory provision of charging facilities in the car parks of government properties and public housing
這才是移風易俗的大舉措，重大的政策改變。
This is rather a drastic move and a major policy change
由於議題獲得兩部分在席議員分別以過半數贊成，他於是宣布修正案獲得通過。
THE PRESIDENT announced that among the Members returned by functional constituencies 26 were present and 25 were in favour of the amendment; while among the Members returned by geographical constituencies through direct elections 21 were present 14 were in favour of the amendment 2 against it and 5 abstained
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：莫乃光議員就經梁繼昌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 Charles Peter MOKs amendment to Mr Frankie YICKs motion as amended by Mr Kenneth LEUNG be passed
即使是中國內地亦已開始研究禁售燃 油汽車時間表，現時在中港台澳中，雖然我不清楚澳門的情況，但香港很可能便是最落後的地方。
Even Mainland China has already begun studying the timetable for the prohibition of sale of fuel - engined vehicles . Among China Hong Kong Taiwan and Macao although I am not very clear about the situation of Macao it is very likely that Hong Kong is falling the farthest behind
在2017年2月，財務司司長陳茂波首次宣布取消電動車的全數稅務寬免安排。
In February 2017 the Financial Secretary Mr Paul CHAN announced the abolition of all tax concessions for EVs
政府在去年4月取消電動車豁免首次登記稅的措施，並以97,500元作為上限。
In April last year the Government abolished the full waiver of first registration tax for EVs and instead capped their first registration tax concession at 97,500
根據運輸署在2017年的數據，電動車首次登記數字亦因而大跌，相較2016年4月至12月的2,078輛，2017年同期便下跌至只有雙位數字的99輛；相反，燃油汽車的首次登記數字卻明顯上升。
According to the figures of the Transport Department in 2017 for the first registration of EVs the number dropped substantially
代理主席，電動車已經成為全球汽車產業的發展大趨勢，全世界很多國家，包括德國和英國均已宣布開始禁售燃油汽車，可以預見電動車將來會逐步取代汽油車和柴油車。
Deputy President electric vehicles EVs have become a major development trend of the automobile industry worldwide . Many countries in the world including Germany and the United Kingdom have announced the start of banning the sale of fuel - engined vehicles . It is foreseeable that EVs will gradually replace petrol - fuelled vehicles and diesel - fuelled vehicles
當然，推動電動車普及化並非一朝一夕可以做到的事情。
Of course promoting the popularization of EVs cannot be done within nights
正如易志明議員所說，我們需要階段性的目標，而這些目標需要政府一系列長遠及可持續的政策配合，絕對不應是朝令夕改、"午時花六時變"的政策和措施。
As Mr Frankie YICK says we need phased targets and these targets need to be coupled with a series of long - term and sustainable policies from the Government and these policies or measures definitely should not change frequently and capriciously
事實上，電動車是沒有尾氣排放的交通工具，對於紓緩路面空氣污染有正面幫助。
In fact EVs are a kind of transport that does not have tailpipe emissions . It can positively help relieve street - level air pollution
根據中央政策組於2015年針對推廣電動車的研究報告，純電動車由電池推動摩打，無須燃燒汽油，所以幾乎不會產生路邊排放，相當適合於人口密度高的城市推廣使用，特別是香港。
According to a study report on the promotion of EVs conducted by the former Central Policy Unit in 2015 battery EVs are propelled by batteries and do not require petrol combustion . So they almost have no roadside emission and are very suitable for use in densely - populated cities especially Hong Kong
代理主席，要推動電動車發展，政府一定要提供多些誘因，令消費者選購電動車；政府與業界亦必須加強合作，做好研發和培訓工作，使電動車技術可以越來越成熟。
Deputy President the Government must provide more incentives to promote the development of EVs so as to encourage consumers to choose EVs . The Government and the industry must also step up cooperation properly take forward research and development RD and training so that EV technologies can become increasingly matured
首先，政府應該盡快訂下明確目標，包括電動車在登記車輛中的比例、淘汰燃油車的目標年份，以急起直追，貼緊世界趨勢。
First of all the Government should expeditiously set a specific target including the proportion of EVs in registered vehicles and a target year for phasing out fuel - engined vehicles in order to catch up with and stay close to the world trend
定下目標後，我們要有長遠計劃。
After setting a target there must be a long - term plan
市民雖然認同推廣電動車，但消費者對於汽車價格始終較敏感，如果價格沒有明顯差距，消費者未必會主動更換電動車。
Although the public agree with promoting EVs consumers are more sensitive to the price of the vehicle . If there is not an obvious difference in the price consumers may not actively switch to EVs
今年財政預算案羅列的措施，包括商用電動車登記稅全數寬免、電動私家車最高97,500元的首次登記稅寬免，以及"一換一"計劃，以鼓勵更多消費者購買或更換電動車，對此我是表示支持的。
The Budget this year has a list of measures to encourage consumers to buy or switch to EVs including waiving in full the first registration tax FRT for electric commercial vehicles providing an FRT concession for electric private cars of up to 97,500 and introducing an one - for - one replacement scheme . I support all these measures
不過，我亦希望政府可以持之以恆，並加強其他配套政策，例如充電設施和人才培訓。
However I also hope that the Government can be consistent with these measures and strengthen other supporting policies as well such as charging facilities and talent training
主席，此外，電動私家車普及化一個主要障礙，就是充電設施不足，雖然部分政府露天停車場設有充電設施，但當電動車普及後，若所有人都爭相到可充電車位，屆時又該如何處理呢？
President besides a major obstacle to the popularization of electric private cars is insufficient charging facilities . Although some government open - air car parks are installed with charging facilities when EVs become popularized how will the Government deal with all the EV drivers who fight for the parking spaces with charging facilities?
現時公共停車場數目越來越少，駕駛者可充電的地方亦越來越少。
Public car parks are now getting less in number and parking spaces with charging facilities for EV drivers are even less
就此，我認為政府可以配合《香港智慧城市藍圖》的發展，適當規劃公共空間予電動車充電，以及檢視《建築物條例》的相關條文，建議所有新建商住樓宇內的車位都必須設置充電設施。
In this connection I hold that the Government can complement the development of the Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint and make suitable planning of public spaces for charging of EVs and review relevant provisions of the Buildings Ordinance to mandate the provision of charging facilities at the parking spaces of all newly constructed commercial and residential buildings
當然，要有效減低路邊排放，除了鼓勵市民轉換電動私家車外，我們亦需要得到業界支持轉用商用電動車。
Of course to effectively lower roadside emissions apart from encouraging the public to switch to electric private cars we must also secure the support of the industry to switch to electric commercial vehicles
事實上，商用車輛佔車輛空氣污染排放95%，既然比例那麼高，我希望政府可以盡力解決業界轉用電動車的憂慮，例如技術尚未成熟、初始投資額高及缺乏營運參考數據，為長遠發展出力。
Actually commercial vehicle emissions account for 95 % of air pollution from vehicle emissions . Since the ratio is so high I hope the Government can expeditiously address the worries of the industry in switching to EVs such as immature technologies a high initial investment and lacking operational data for reference so as to work on the long - term development of EVs
商用車輛行駛里數高，亦受天氣和地勢影響，即使有綠色運輸試驗基金，技術暫時亦不能滿足我們對電池性能的要求。
Commercial vehicles have a high driving mileage and are affected by weather and topography . Despite having the Pilot Green Transport Fund the present technologies cannot provide a battery performance that can satisfy our needs
原因是，在基金下試驗的電動小巴即使充電兩小時，亦只可行駛約180公里，遠遠低於公共小巴每天平均行車里數。
The reason is that the electric light bus under testing with the support of the Fund can only drive for about 180 km after two hours of battery charging . This is far below the average daily mileage of a public light bus
所以，在現階段，電動車並不適合用於較高行車里數的運輸行業。
So at this stage EVs are not suitable for use by transport industries that have a high driving mileage
至於長遠如何解決問題，我希望政府可以投入更多心思和資源，包括支持本地電動車研發及維修業的發展。
I hope the Government can spend more effort and resources on how to solve this problem in the long run including supporting the RD of local EVs and developing the maintenance and repair industry
主席，我們的政策要有前瞻性，將來當電動車普及後，電動車的退役電池數量只會有增無減，我們需要一個收集和處理廢舊電池的機制及大量技術支援人員。
President our policy has to be forward - looking . When EVs become common in the future the number of retired batteries from EVs will increase . We will need a system to collect and handle these old batteries and a large number of supporting technicians
所以，我期望政府可以多與商界交流，制訂有效策略，並在職業訓練局開辦相應學徒計劃，以應付未來快速改變的電動車使用情況。
Hence I hope the Government can communicate more with the business sector and formulate an effective strategy and also set up apprenticeship programmes in the Vocational Training Council so as to cope with the fast - changing usage level of EVs in the future
其實，如果香港成功推動電動車普及化，除了可改善香港的空氣質素外，更可以推動本地產業多元化，商界可以培訓海內外的人才，積極參與本地電動車產業發展，亦可配合內地發展新能源車產業，幫助內地相關電動車產業"走出去"。
In fact if Hong Kong can successfully promote the popularization of EVs it can improve our air quality and also facilitate the diversification of local industries . The business sector can train local and overseas talents to actively participate in the development of the electric automobile industry . It can also complement the development of new - energy vehicle industries in the Mainland and help these Mainland EV industries to go global
總的來說，我認為政府需要一套可持續的配套政策，以應付未來電動車的使用情況，切勿盲目聽從別人的說法，政策必須適當及配合整個社會發展，例如加強......
All in all I hold that the Government needs a set of sustainable supporting policies to meet the future usage of EVs . Do not blindly listen to what other people say
主席，很高興今天終於有機會動議"推動電動車普及化"議案。
President today I am very glad to have the chance to move the motion on Promoting the popularization of electric vehicles at long last
首先，我聲明我無意為任何一類環保車輛作推銷的工作。
First of all I must make it clear that I do not intend to market any particular type of environment - friendly vehicles
不過，因應世界大勢所趨，在現時各種環保車輛中，電動車的發展相對較為成熟，而且較為適合香港的環境。
But we should keep abreast of the global trend so I would say that electric vehicles EVs are more advanced in development than other types of environment - friendly vehicles and they are also more suited to the environment in Hong Kong
倘若日後有其他更環保的車輛推出，我希望政府亦能積極推出相應的政策予以支持及配合，藉以進一步改善路邊的空氣質素。
I hope that if there emerge any types of vehicles which are even more environment - friendly in the future the Government can likewise roll out active policies to support and dovetail with their development so as to further improve roadside air quality
空氣污染對環境及人體健康所造成的威脅是毋庸置疑的。
The threat posed by air pollution to the environment and human health is beyond any doubt
世界衞生組織的數據顯示，空氣污染每年奪去多達700萬人的寶貴生命。
Statistics of the World Health Organization show that air pollution takes away as many as 7 million precious human lives every year
除人命外，空氣污染亦帶來龐大的經濟損失。
Human lives aside air pollution also causes enormous economic losses
根據香港大學的達理指數，本港上月因空氣污染造成的總經濟損失達21億元。
As measured by the Hedley Environmental Index of the University of Hong Kong the total economic losses caused by air pollution in Hong Kong last month amounted to 2.1 billion
如果以這個數字推算，一年的總經濟損失便高達252億元。
Based on this figure the total economic losses a year are estimated to be 25.2 billion
由於燃油汽車的排放一直被指為空氣污染的源頭之一，因此，多個歐洲國家例如挪威、荷蘭、德國、法國、英國等，甚至亞洲的中國，均已先後宣布，將於2025年後相繼禁售燃油汽車。
Emissions of fuel - engined vehicles have long been regarded as a source of air pollution . Hence many European countries such as Norway the Netherlands Germany France and the United Kingdom and even China in Asia have announced that they will ban the sale of fuel - engined vehicles from 2025 onwards
而多間汽車製造商亦已表示，會投放更多資源研發新一代的零排放電動車。
Many vehicle manufacturers have also said that they will invest more resources in the research and development of a new - generation of EVs with zero - emissions
由此可見，生產電動車已成為全球汽車產業發展的大方向。
It is thus obvious that the production of EVs is now the general development direction of the global automobile industry
但是，政府在推動電動車普及化方面的工作則有欠力度。
In contrast the Governments efforts to promote the popularization of EVs have not been strong enough
香港早於1994年已豁免電動車的首次登記稅，更在2009年成立由財政司司長領導的推動使用電動車輛督導委員會，希望促使香港成為亞洲區內最廣泛使用電動車的地區之一，並設下在2020年有三成私家車為電動車或混能車的目標。
As early as 1994 the First Registration Tax FRT for EVs was already waived in Hong Kong . The Steering Committee on the Promotion of Electric Vehicles chaired by the Financial Secretary was subsequently established in 2009 with the objective of making Hong Kong one of the places in Asia that sees the most extensive use of EVs . The Committee also set down the target of attaining a rate of 30 % for EVs and hybrid vehicles in the total number of private cars by 2020
但是，截至今年2月，全香港只有 11,000多輛電動車，佔全港已登記的車輛不足2%，距離政府設定的目標甚遠。
But as at February this year there were only some 11 000 EVs in Hong Kong representing less than 2 % of all registered vehicles in the territory and falling far short of the government target
為鼓勵車主選購電動車，政府既提供首次登記稅寬減，亦訂定了相對較低的牌照費。
To encourage car owners to purchase EVs the Government offers FRT concessions and lower vehicle licence fees for EVs
但是，在香港使用電動車至今仍未成氣候，主因是電動車的價格尚未達至市場的期望，以及其他配套不足，影響車主選購電動車的意欲。
But still the use of EVs in Hong Kong has never become any major trend . The main reason is that the prices of EVs cannot meet market expectations and there is a shortage of ancillary facilities . The desire of car owners to purchase of EVs is thus affected
申訴專員公署曾經就政府對電動私家車配套設施的規劃及安排進行調查。
The Office of The Ombudsman has looked into the Governments planning and provision of ancillary facilities for electric private cars
於去年公布的調查結果顯示，電動車充電設施不足，窒礙電動車在本港的廣泛使用。
The findings announced last year show that the shortage of charging facilities has impeded the extensive use of EVs in Hong Kong
截至2018年2月底，全港有1,862個充電器，雖然已分布在18區的樓宇、商場和酒店內，但卻分布不均。
As at late February 2018 there were totally 1 862 EV chargers in Hong Kong . Though these charging facilities are already spread across all the 18 districts in various buildings shopping malls and hotels there is still the problem of uneven distribution
況且，當中快速充電設施不足兩成，只有300多個；其餘的充電設施均需要車主花上數小時充電，對於目前1萬多輛電動車而言是不敷應用的。
What is more only some 300 of them or less than 2 % of all charging facilities are quick chargers . Car owners who use the rest of the charging facilities must spend several hours on charging their vehicles . In brief the existing facilities are simply unable to cope with the needs of the 10 000 or so EVs in Hong Kong
電動車充電設施緊絀，充電車位亦經常被濫用。
The shortage of charging facilities aside parking spaces with charging facilities are often misused
例如中環天星碼頭停車場的充電車位雖然實施電動車優先的措施，卻經常被燃油汽車佔用。
For instance there is a measure of giving priority to EVs in using the parking spaces with charging facilities at the Star Ferry Car Park in Central but these spaces are very often occupied by fuel - engined vehicles
政府表示公共充電設施只屬於輔助性質，電動車的車主應在其居所或辦公地方為其車輛作日常充電。
The Government says that since public charging facilities are only meant as a kind of support EV owners should perform daily charging at home or in the workplace
在2011年4月後新建的私人樓宇，亦有部分提供電動車充電停車位。
Some private buildings completed after April 2011 indeed provide parking spaces with charging facilities for EVs
但是，在一些舊式屋苑，自設充電設備不但成本高，難度亦甚大。
But in the case of certain old housing estates the retrofitting of charging facilities is not only expensive but also very difficult
香港的住宅大廈受《建築物條例》、大廈公契和租約等條款約束，如果要增建充電裝置，便要得到該大廈的業主立案法團批准。
Residential buildings in Hong Kong are regulated by provisions of the Buildings Ordinance deeds of mutual covenant and tenancy agreements . If charging facilities are to be retrofitted to a building approval must be sought from the owners corporation
但是，有車主為此折騰1年，既要額外購買第三者保險，又要作電力負荷評估，以及辦理律師協議等，最終卻未能獲得法團的准許。
There was in fact a case in which the car owners concerned were required to take out additional third party insurance conduct electricity load assessment and sign agreements with solicitor but in the end after one whole year they still failed to get the approval of the owners corporation
政府指路邊空氣污染物的主要來源是商用車輛。
The Government says that the major source of roadside air pollutants is commercial vehicles
但是，由於商用車輛運作時間長及香港的氣候和地勢問題所限，對電動商用車有較高的要求。
But since commercial vehicles must operate longer hours and there are the constraints imposed by the local climate and relief any electric commercial vehicles to be introduced must satisfy very stringent technical requirements
數年前，的士業界曾自發試用48輛電動車，但最終因為未能配合實際的營運情況，試驗計劃無疾而終。
A few years ago the taxi sector voluntarily launched a trial scheme involving the use of 48 electric taxis . But the trial eventually fell flat as the electric taxis concerned could not cope with actual operating needs
另一方面，政府全數資助購買的36輛電動專營巴士，則至今仍在測試中。
Also the 36 electric franchised buses purchased with full government subsidy are still on trial runs
主席，政府在回收及處理廢汽車電池方面亦未見有完善的機制。
President the Government has not put in place a satisfactory mechanism for the recycling or disposal of waste car batteries either
現時，全港約有80萬輛汽車，以電池的壽命大約為3年至4年計算，每年應該需要回收或處理的電池超過20萬枚。
At present there are about 800 000 vehicles throughout the territory . Given a battery lifespan of three to four years there should be more than 200 000 batteries to be recycled or disposed of each year
但政府在2016年12月14日回覆我的質詢時表示，現時每年經合資格回收商回收處理的廢 汽車電池只有5萬多枚，其餘的10多萬枚電池或許在未經處理的情況下掉進堆填區。
However when the Government replied to my question on 14 December 2016 it said that the waste car batteries recycled by qualified recyclers numbered only 50 000 or so a year and the remaining 100 000 or so batteries might have been dumped in landfills without undergoing any proper treatment
假如說法屬實，電池的有毒物質將會對環境造成極大破壞。
If this is the case the toxic substances in such batteries will cause enormous environmental damage
如果政府現在不積極處理汽車廢電池的問題，日後電動車當道，問題將更難以解決。
If the Government does not actively tackle the problem of waste car batteries now it will only find this problem more difficult to solve when EVs come into wide use in the future
此外，現時電動車維修技術並不開放，導致坊間的車房只能提供有限度的維修服務，變相迫使車主把汽車送回原廠維修，一來令維修時間延長，二來維修費用亦高昂。
Furthermore the technical know - how of electric vehicle repairs is highly exclusive at present with the result that vehicle repairs workshops in the community can only provide very limited repairs services . Vehicle owners are in effect forced to send their EVs back to the manufacturers for repairs and maintenance . This results in longer repairs time on the one hand and higher repairs costs on the other
如果政府沒有因應電動車發展的趨勢，強制電動車供應商開放技術及適時對有關人士提供培訓，在維修服務不足的情況下，車主對電動車只會敬而遠之。
If the Government does not dovetail with the development trend of EVs and make it mandatory for EV suppliers to disclose the technical know - how and provide training to the people concerned in good time car owners will only stay away from EVs due to the shortage of repairs services
主席，既然零排放的電動車是大勢所趨，亦有助減低空氣污染造成的禍害，以下我會提出一些普及化的建議。
President since the use of EVs with zero - emission is an inevitable trend and they can help mitigate the harm of air pollution let me make some suggestions on promoting their popularity here
首先，如果要推動電動車普及化，政府應全面檢討相關的政策，加強推動使用電動車輛督導委員會的職能，藉着一個中央統籌的執行機構去推行及督導電動車的發展措施，加強實際執行能力，務求達至階段性的推動目標，包括電動車輛的數目、電動車充電設施的供應、電動車維修服務的提供等。
First to promote the popularization of EVs the Government should comprehensively review the relevant policies . It should enhance the function of the Steering Committee on the Promotion of Electric Vehicles and turn it into a central coordinating body with actual power to execute and oversee the measures of promoting EVs . The Committees actual execution power should be enhanced with the aim of enabling it to achieve various intermediate targets covering the number of EVs the supply of charging facilities for EVs and the provision of repairs services for EVs
此外，政府必須積極強化電動車充電配套，令市民無後顧之憂。
Next the Government must actively enhance the charging facilities for EVs so as to dispel peoples concern
政府應加快把現時標準及中速的充電設施升級至快速充電水平。
The Government should quicken the pace of upgrading the existing standard and medium chargers to quick chargers
由於不同國家生產的電動車有不同的充電制式，因此，當局應盡快研究如何有效地設置更多多制式的單一充電裝置。
As the chargers for EVs produced in different countries adopt different standards the authorities must explore how best to provide a greater number of multi - standard charging units
就增加充電設施的覆蓋率，除繼續在現有政府物業及公營房屋的停車場增設充電設施外，政府亦可參考日本，在一些有充足空間的加油站增設充電設施，又可研究德國改裝部分電燈柱以兼作充電樁的例子。
As for widening the network of charging facilities besides continuing with the installation of charging facilities in the car parks of existing government properties and public housing estates the Government can learn from the Japanese experience of retrofitting charging facilities to petrol stations with adequate space . Besides it can also study the German experience of modifying lamp posts to make them also serve as charging posts
