Hong Kong, 21 January 2025 – JLL has launched a collaboration with Electra Network and Nobo Capital to introduce the Electra DH Force G30 mobile electric vehicle (EV) fast charging robots, which will be installed at its managed properties based on client demand. This value-added service offers clients a more convenient, efficient, and sustainable charging solution, while enhancing both property value.

The Electra DH Force G30's primary advantage is its exceptional flexibility, enabling users to charge their vehicles at any parking space at any time, thereby effectively addressing the issue of insufficient charging stations. Its low capacity and minimal network expansion requirements make it highly versatile, suitable for a wide range of applications. It can also reduce the scale of installation and the time required for adding charging stations.

The Electra DH Force G30 also features an all-in-one smart control panel for simple and easy operation. Its robust security architecture, integrated with a cloud monitoring platform, offers real-time device status updates, ensuring safe and reliable performance. Additionally, the G30 can be integrated with solar energy storage systems, delivering an environmentally friendly charging solution while also meeting emergency charging needs, ensuring that EVs are always ready for the road.

Chung Chi-hung, Head of Property and Asset Management at JLL in Hong Kong and Macau, said: "We are dedicated to delivering high-quality property management and a diverse range of value-added services to our clients. This commitment is demonstrated by the introduction of our EV fast charging robot service, which enables clients to provide a convenient charging experience without the need to modify existing parking spaces or allocate dedicated charging bays. Looking ahead, we will continue to explore innovative solutions to create greater value for our clients."

Oscar Chan, Head of Capital Markets at JLL in Hong Kong, said: "The increasing popularity of EVs has led to a significant rise in charging demand, creating a potential niche for asset owners and investors due to the existing gap in charging infrastructure. The Electra DH Force G30, with its mobile design, effectively addresses space constraints, making it ideal for locations with limited parking, enabling efficient use of space while meeting the charging needs of EV drivers. This emerging charging technology is anticipated to enhance property value and appeal, attract tenants and customers, and boost property revenue. Consequently, property owners can maintain a competitive edge in a challenging market, ultimately delivering stronger returns for investors."

Alan Tam, Founder and CEO of Electra Network and Nobo Capital, said, "Electra Network exclusively introduces the G30 mobile fast charging device for EV owners in Hong Kong. As electric vehicles become more popular in Hong Kong, the demand for charging infrastructure has increased substantially. In particular, professional drivers have a more urgent need for fast charging solutions. With the launch of the G30 mobile fast charging device, we are excited and look forward to working with all parties, including property owners and other electric vehicle charger operators, to build a fast and flexible charging network covering the whole of Hong Kong.
