    EV Operating Costs in Hong Kong

    I am considering going electric.

    Anyone have an average cost breakdown for EVs? Ie. License tax, Insurance cost, Maintenance, etc?

    My gas guzzler cost is off the roof. I spend 2-3k a month on gas (cheapest choice already).

    From my research and memory - registration cost is $1000 a year, insurance cost is high, no maintenance for first year or 2 I think and then its mostly filter replacements - no oil changes.

    A few folks here are quite concerned about tesla repairs, esp accidental damages - so that might be a factor for you and it is does increase insurance costs.

    From the mileage posted on the other thread I think you can get about 300km for 120HKD (off peak super charger costs).
