Gov't installs over 15,300 EV charging points across S'pore

About 7,100 of these are public, with the rest in private areas like condominiums.

The government has installed over 15,300 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across Singapore, with plans to expand to 60,000 by 2030, according to the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) report.

About 7,100 of these charging points are publicly accessible, whilst the remainder are in private spaces such as condominiums. Drivers can locate these chargers using the MyTransport.SG app or specific EV charging operators’ apps.

Most public chargers are slower alternating current types designed for overnight charging. In response, the LTA plans to roll out fast-charging options. These fast chargers can recharge an EV battery from 20% to 80% in about an hour, reducing charging time compared to standard chargers.

In residential areas, EV infrastructure is also expanding, with one in two HDB car parks now equipped with EV chargers. The LTA aims to ensure that every HDB Town is EV-ready by 2025, with chargers in nearly 2,000 car parks.

Over a third of new car registrations in early 2024 were electric, reflecting growing EV adoption. Currently, electric vehicles make up 3.3% of Singapore’s total population, with more than 21,800 registered EVs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
