Today Tesla launched its latest model, the Model S P85D, in Hong Kong at a time when the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in Hong Kong is seeing steady growth. The company said it expects to sell more than 10,000 cars this year, up from just over 5,000 last year. By May 2015, the number of EVs in Hong Kong has nearly tripled, at over 2,250 according to government statistics. " Since [last July], we saw a significant increase in the awareness and acceptance toward electric vehicles," said Isabel Fan, country director of Tesla Motors Hong Kong.
