Question 1

How much does it cost to list my electric car on Car Spot?

Accepted Answer

Listing is free for the first 7 days — no commission if your car sells within that period. You only pay if you choose to extend your listing beyond 7 days.

Question 2

What should I check when buying a used electric car in Hong Kong?

Accepted Answer

Always request a battery health report showing State of Health (SoH) — aim for 75–80% or above. Verify the vehicle registration document (VRD) and check the remaining annual licence fee status via the HKSAR Transport Department. Confirm whether the original buyer applied for the First Registration Tax (FRT) concession and check the charger connector type for compatibility with Hong Kong's Type 2 and CCS network.

Question 3

How is the running cost calculated?

Accepted Answer

We multiply your daily distance (km) by the EV's energy use (kWh/100km), then multiply by your electricity rate (HK cents/kWh). CLP residential rates average around HK$1.30–1.50/kWh. Public fast chargers can be significantly more expensive, so home or workplace charging is most economical.

Question 4

What is battery health (SoH) and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

State of Health is the percentage of original battery capacity still available. A new EV is 100% SoH; after several years it may fall to 85–90%. Below 75–80% you will notice a meaningful loss of range. Hong Kong's warm climate is generally gentler on battery chemistry than cold climates, but frequent DC fast charging can accelerate degradation.

Question 5

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

Accepted Answer

A 7–22 kW AC charger (available in many car parks and estates) adds roughly 40–100 km of range per hour. DC fast chargers (50–150 kW) from Tesla Supercharger, HKMC and other operators can bring a depleted pack to 80% in 20–40 minutes. Hong Kong's compact geography means most daily journeys are easily covered on a single overnight charge.
