While some companies have successfully launched supercharging stations in Hong Kong, widespread adoption will take time, Lawrence Cheung, Chief Technology Officer of the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), remarked.

Electric vehicle (EV) batteries need gradual advancements to handle the high currents of such charging devices, he commented.

Cheung is optimistic that EV charging time could soon rival the refueling time of gas-powered vehicles, with the necessary technology potentially achievable within two years.

For typical EV users, a 2-to-3-minute charge delivering a 400-kilometer range would be more than sufficient, he believed.
