Traveling north with a Hong Kong vehicle has become a popular holiday activity. However, in Mainland China, electric vehicle charging stations use the national standard (GB) while Hong Kong electric vehicles use the European standard (CCS2). This means that Hong Kong EV owners need to use an adapter for every charge, which incurs additional costs and can be inconvenient. With more European standard charging stations appearing in Shenzhen and Zhuhai, Kwiksure is here to provide a list of locations, pricing, and usage methods for European standard charging stations in these cities.

Kwiksure shares the key things to bear in mind when selecting automotive heat insulation film.

Do you think electric vehicles (EVs) are a product of the last decade or so? In fact, over a century ago, EVs dominated the automotive world, emerging almost half a century before gasoline-powered cars. But why did EVs eventually decline, giving way to gasoline cars? And why did it take a century for them to regain prominence? Kwiksure is here to share the history of EV development, revealing the century-long battle between EVs and gasoline vehicles. If people from over a century ago could see today’s EVs, now referred to as "new energy vehicles," they would likely find it very strange. This is because, as early as the late 19th century, EVs were already appearing on the streets of Europe and America as the main mode of transportation. Tracing the history of EVs, we can go back to the early 19th century. In 1834, Dutch physicist Sibrandus Stratingh and his assistant Christopher Becker mounted a motor on a wooden board to create a three-wheeled vehicle powered by electricity. Although it couldn’t carry people, it was considered the prototype of the electric vehicle.
