The electric vehicle "One-for-One Replacement" scheme ends tomorrow. A car dealer said that sales had surged recently as many residents rush to buy cars before the deadline.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has lasted for almost a month, causing international oil prices to rise.
In Hong Kong, fuel prices have surpassed 32 dollars per litre, which is an increase of 4 dollars since the war began.
Affected by oil prices, the cost of running a fuel-powered car is higher than that of an electric vehicle.
Meanwhile, the electric vehicle "One-for-One Replacement" scheme ends Tuesday..
The first registration tax concessions for private electric cars also concludes on the same day.
At a vehicle showroom in Hung Hom, some residents came to make a purchase before the favourable terms are gone. Mr. Chan said fuel is pricey nowadays so he came to look for a new electric vehicle.
Car dealer Eric Wong said they sold 1,000 cars this month, that was half of a typical full year's performance. "Customers usually take 45 minutes to two hours to make a purchase, but now they just walk in and close a deal within ten minutes."
Under the government policy, applicants are still eligible for the tax concession if they buy from available stock before March 31.
