Petition: Demand for Amending the "1-for-1 Replacement" Scheme for private electric vehicles
The government’s proposed 1-for-1 EV scheme showed promise, but the detailed terms are much more restrictive than they need to be, and needlessly limit those eligible to join. Changing the scheme is not feasible at this stage, so Charged.HK has been lobbying for a relaxation of the restrictions, which may be possible.
A group we have been working with (the HK Vehicle and Transport Concern Group) have launched an online petition to ask for government to address this. We encourage all to lend your support to this initiative, and sign the petition.

Demand for Amending the "1-for-1 Replacement" Scheme for private electric vehicles
政府上月公佈2018/19年度《財政預算案》，提出電動私家車「一換一」計劃，限制多，條件辣。若準車主未能趕及今年在3月31日前購入二手車，未來3年都不能參與「一換一」計劃！《香港汽車及交通關注組》發起今次聯署行動，要求政府放寬「一換一」計劃，讓更多人參與。我們會將收集到的聯署交予運房局及環境局局長。聯署截止日期為3月30日，請踴躍參加！
The 2018/19 Budget has proposed the “One-for-One Replacement” Scheme (“the Scheme”) for private electric vehicles (EV). However, the scheme imposes too many restrictions and tough requirements, e.g. car owners are not eligible to join the Scheme in the next three years if they do not purchase a second-hand car by 31 March this year. In order to allow more car owners to participant in the Scheme, the Hong Kong Vehicle and Transport Concern Group initiated this petition, requesting the Government to relax the restrictions of the Scheme. We will send the petition to Mr Wong Kam-sing, Secretary for the Environment and Mr Frank Chan, Secretary for Transport and Housing. Please join the petition by 30 March!
