Other than at airports and aerodromes, there are no parking bays for electric vehicles at any building used by my Department. There is, however, one eCar charging point at the Custom House currently. My Department’s Workplace Travel Plan (WTP) aims to encourage greater staff use of sustainable transport options when travelling to and from work, and to ensure that, where practicable, staff opt for sustainable transport options when conducting business on behalf of the Department. My Department will keep the matter under review as the use of electric cars increases.
