I'm not so sure. Every parking station in Kowloon run by Wilson parking has multiple ev charging places which is about 50 locations. We know a Tesla is going to install superchargers in HK and that, on top of hundreds of km of range in the Model S will make them very popular. I can see a situation where parking stations try to make themselves popular by providing lots of charging options, it's good for business.
After all, all anyone needs is a 13A socket or a 32A if possible. Not much else to it.
Although I have my doubts about EV success in HK due to lack of general support, I have already successfully installed 2 13A sockets 2 years ago at my carpark in an apartment complex with the proper approval of the owners committee.
Now just waiting for my Tesla and i3. Hope it won't be a total inconvenience to go fully electric for the family.
What we need is more fast charging stations at public carparks or even better several Superchargers.

Politely requested the installation from the owners committee. Got a CLP meter under my name next to the sockets installed. All done by a licenced electrician. All approved by CLP. Total cost were about HKD 25k.
Lerxt, very good suggestion!
Without government to support EV by mandating that mass residential housing is required to support requests for an EV charging plug in parking places, EVs can't move forward in HK.
* A dedicated team and a hotline (3757 6222) are in operation to help EV owners or buyers to set up EV chargers at strata-titled car parks. Besides, guidelines have been issued to prospective EV buyers on how to set up chargers at their own car parks and letters were issued to around 7 400 owners’ organisations appealing for their support.
* Since April 2011, car parks have been required to be “EV charging-enabling” if the developer wishes to obtain concessions on gross floor area. All parking spaces are required to put in place at the building construction stage the infrastructure and conditions, including electrical wiring and provision of sufficient power supply, to facilitate future installation of chargers.
* Planning guidelines for new buildings have been amended to recommend 30% of car parking spaces to be installed with standard chargers.
Now it has taken me 2.5 years but 16 employee charging station have been approved at work. It does take time at a large company.Have you actually tried? I keep hearing story after story of people approaching management offices and owners committees / corporations, and getting turned down. Some have tried for three years, with no progress. I have yet to hear of even a single success story in this.
