According to SP, there are two direct current (DC) and two alternating current (AC) chargers at each of its locations in Techplace 1, Hyflux Innovation Centre, Techlink, Corporation Place, The Kendall and The Capricorn. There are 4 of each charges at the Alexandra Technopark, whilst three of each are located at Singapore Polytechnic.
