SINGAPORE - Five operators have been picked to deploy electric vehicle charging points in nearly 2,000 Housing Board carparks islandwide, in a move to encourage greater EV adoption by growing the charging network.
Mr Iswaran said electrification will contribute significantly to lowering land transport carbon emissions, which currently account for about 15 per cent of Singapore’s domestic emissions.The large-scale tender follows an earlier one to install more than 600 charging points in public carparks that was awarded in September 2021.
The Land Transport Authority said tenderers were assessed on various criteria, including their ability to optimise available electrical capacity to power the charging points. This will help maximise coverage of the national EV charging network in carparks with limited electrical power capacity, it added.
It is looking to roll out chargers that will vary charging speeds depending on the number of EVs that are plugged in and the amount of power available. “Residents will seriously look at replacing their internal combustion engine vehicles when they see a physical EV charger near them,” he added.
I hope they don’t adopt to current design where one charging can be only done on one parking lot. For the purpose of HDB parking, it would be better if the charging cable is longer and can reach 4 lots. No need to move out of the lot after charging.
