The Environmental Protection Bureau (DSPA) said in a statement yesterday that it has recently added a total of 50 charging stations to 10 public carparks.
The statement said that the e-motorcycle riders can use a charging cord connected to a charging outlet to recharge their batteries.
The statement said that the 10 carparks are: Auto-Silo do Edifício do Bairro da Ilha Verde (青洲坊大廈停車場), Auto-Silo do Edifício Fai Fu (快富樓停車場), Auto-Silo Praça Ferreira do Amaral (亞馬喇前地停車場), Auto-Silo Jardim Comendador Ho Yin (何賢公園停車場), Auto-Silo do Edifício da Direcção dos Serviços para os Assuntos de Tráfego (交通事務局大樓停車場), Auto-Silo do Complexo Desportivo das Portas do Cerco (關閘綜合體育場館停車場), Auto-Silo do Edifício Mong Sin (望善樓停車場), Auto-Silo do Edifício Mong In (望賢樓停車場), Auto-Silo do Parque Central da Taipa (氹仔中央公園停車場), and Auto-Silo do Edifício Lok Kuan (氹仔中央公園停車場).
According to the statement, in order to improve the city’s air quality and achieve the government’s “double carbon” goal, the bureau has launched a string of policies and installed a number of facilities to lower the carbon emission. The statement said that after completing the installation of the 50 charging stations, the bureau will continue to monitor the usage situation and optimise the current facilities.
Meanwhile, the statement said that its e-motorcycle subsidy scheme so far has received 307 applications and it has collected 177 old motorcycles, while 33 of those who handed in their motorcycles have already purchased and registered their new e-motorcycles. The statement underlined that as the scheme provides a subsidy of up to 8,800 patacas, residents should apply as soon as possible.
