Insurance itself, maybe. But we also have to pay registration fee based on the size of the engine of the car yearly. Also for older cars like mine we get the government inspection each year (kinda like the old aircare mixed with mandatory VI)

That is true, for the first years they came out in HK they were basically tax free since the government was pushing for EVs. After 2018? You have to pay tax but the tax is dramatically reduced and also you need a traditional ICE to trade in
Interesting tibit from my car groups here; this was the total amount of new vehicles registered in April 2021. Teslas obviously sell liek hotcakes here at #1, whats interesting is Benz is #2 and BM is #3 even in this economy, trumping Toyota #4 (even with all the ALphards and Hiaces) and Honda #5.
Fwd 根據運輸署公佈的數字，今年4月期間共有2,370輛全新私家車在港登記領牌，當中Tesla佔最多，共有 534輛，而平治就以391輛的數目排行第二，至於位列第三的寶馬則有302輛。

HK is definitely strange, driving is mostly not a necessity, maybe even a burden at times, it's more of a want than need.
Keeping on topic, putting an exhaust on my beat
