Lin Youchang, the Secretary-General of the Democratic Progressive Party, criticized the Mayor of Keelung, Xie Guoliang, for spending 2.7 billion on free electric scooters, questioning if he would also give away Teslas. Lin emphasized that the budget could be better spent on various infrastructural projects, such as providing free bus rides for 14 years to the people of Keelung. Xie's administration defended the policy as part of responding to carbon emission plans and ensuring financial stability in the city. Lin urged the mayor to prioritize city governance over such initiatives.
