Future Intelligent EV Charging in Hong Kong

從「搵位難」到「等位煩」——香港充電破局之智能化

筆者上周深入剖析了香港電動汽車充電市場面臨的結構性矛盾:土地資源極度稀缺且電力容量受限;依賴「堆砌硬體」的粗放式增長殊不明智。當務之急,在於構建一個根據不同場景和用戶需求精準配置、異構化的充電基礎設施網絡:快慢並存,精準接軌。

毋庸置疑,充電網絡至關重要。「快慢並存」解決的是物理空間的資源配置問題,「精準接軌」則須靠資訊空間的數據流動來實現。

將負擔轉化為資源

推動能執行需求響應(demand response)的智能充電技術,可將充電行為從電網的負擔轉為可調度的資源。根據國際可再生能源署的定義,智能充電是通過數據連接,使電動車的充電周期能夠適應電力系統狀況和車主用能需求。這條技術路徑可以分兩個主要階段:一是V1G,即單向智能充電(unidirectional smart charging),透過單向功率調控,電網可遠程控制充電時間和速率,如延遲充電、降低功率。二是V2G,即車輛到電網(vehicle to grid),目前仍處於商業化探索模式,旨在實現電動車不僅可以從電網充電,還可將電池中的電能反向輸送回電網。

要理解智能充電的實踐價值,最直接的方式是考察在超大規模市場中的領先企業。中國內地擁有全球最龐大、競爭最激烈的公共充電市場,截至2025年11月,公共充電樁數量已超過462.5萬個【註1】。這種規模效應催生了在科技、運營和安全管理方面全球領先的運營商。

首先發揮關鍵作用的是提供資訊集成的地圖運營商。以高德地圖和百度地圖為代表的互聯網平台,得益於底層地理數據的全方位立體整合,成為內地絕大部分電動車用戶獲得較為完整實時資訊的入口。這些地圖平台利用其在用戶導航使用習慣上的優勢,成功推動主流充電運營商提供整合所需的實時數據。電動車用戶不必在不同充電運營商的應用程式之間反覆切換加以比較,而只需在地圖應用程式中搜索充電站,不僅即時看到位置,還能一鍵取得場站規模、設備狀態、實時價格及用戶評價等全維度資訊,並完成從找樁、導航到支付的全鏈路閉環 。

目前,香港的充電市場高度碎片化,雖然環境保護署推出了「EV充電易」流動應用程式,整合全港公共充電資訊,但大部分私營運營商不提供實時資訊、且支付介面和用戶賬戶系統沒有整合聯通。無論是通過政策法規鼓勵市場化運營促進資訊集成,抑或是借助數據信託完成行業整合,必須構建一個足夠集成的標準化資料平台。在實際操作層面,香港《個人資料(私隱)條例》對數據收集和使用有嚴格規管,特別是針對物理追蹤。如何建立一個既符合合規要求、又能服務香港車主的多方充電數據平台,仍是有待積極解決的難題。

內地經驗可資借鑑

地圖運營商須理順資訊實時整合,先進的充電運營商則致力於高效地解決時空匹配問題。在這一領域,內地的特來電、星星充電和小桔充電等平台展示了如何利用人工智能算法和數字化科技來預測、響應和調節充電需求。其中,小桔充電源於中國最大出行平台滴滴出行的生態系統,是一個自下而上、由市場競爭和海量數據原生驅動的運營商。

根據官方網站數據,截至 2024 年底,小桔充電已累計提供超過 10 億次充電服務;其中最核心、最高頻的用戶,正是滴滴平台上的網約車司機——有穩定需求,對充電時間成本和價格亦最敏感。滴滴平台利用其海量的車輛軌跡數據,分析和預測營運車輛和充電需求的時空分布,可通過算法,實時向網約車司機的應用程式限時優惠,吸引司機前往指定充電站補能。

此類智能運營以價格槓桿引導需求,去匹配閒置的充電樁供給,從而實現網絡的全域優化。憑藉預測和實時調度的運營能力,先進的充電運營商能開發出需求響應模式的虛擬電廠,從而參與電力市場交易結算;因此不單是服務能源的消耗者,更成為電力市場的積極單元,參與調峰填谷和輔助服務。

轉型大勢創造機遇

聚焦香港,的士和小巴都正在經歷電動化轉型。這類車輛行駛路線相對固定、充電需求規律且頻次高,是最理想的可預測負荷。政府應引導市場,專為私家車、的士、網約車、小巴等建立智能充電平台,利用實時數據和人工智能優化其補能路徑,減少在繁忙時段佔用快充資源的情況,同時為未來的V2G試點打下基礎 。

建設香港成為面向國際的電動車產業示範窗口,不在於簡單激勵更多、更新科技的充電樁,而在於構建「基建 + 演算法 + 數據」的生態閉環。香港的電動化轉型,已駛入一片機遇與挑戰並存的深水區。從最初解決「搵位難」的硬體鋪設,到如今面對「等位煩」的系統性困局,一個健康的充電生態,理應是一個與城市肌理和市民生活節奏深度融合的有機體,既承認亦尊重不同場景下的需求差異,同時使能源和公共資源精準地服務整體社會。

GREEN$ Rewards, How to Better Reward?
GREEN$ Rewards, How to Better Reward?
Prof. Guojun He
Looking around the world, waste sorting and recycling have become an unavoidable part of urban governance. Over the past 10 years, the HKSAR Government has, through the “GREEN@COMMUNITY” programme and the “GREEN$” points system, built a community recycling network across Hong Kong, encouraging citizens to integrate recycling into their daily lives.

Critical Juncture of the Third Economic Transformation: The Four Pillar Industries
Critical Juncture of the Third Economic Transformation: The Four Pillar Industries
Prof. Heiwai TANG
Hong Kong is a highly developed economy, with nearly 94% of its gross domestic product (GDP) generated by the services sector. However, under the current structure of the services sector, there exists a “dual‑structure trap”: on one hand, high value‑added industries that offer limited employment opportunities; on the other, mass‑market industries with relatively low value added.
