SINGAPORE - All new buildings with carparks will have to install electric vehicle charging points in at least 1 per cent of their total car and motorcycle parking lots in future, under proposed laws

to regulate EV charging in Singapore.

The proposed Electric Vehicle Charging Bill would vest LTA with powers to regulate EV chargers used in Singapore, impose a licensing regime on EV charging operators, and require EV chargers to be provided in buildings. The reduced threshold would apply to contracts that last for up to 10 years and to proposals that do not draw down on condo management funds, said LTA, noting that residents in some condos have not managed to pass resolutions to install EV charging points, even when a majority of residents support the move.

EV chargers will also have to be inspected periodically by an equipment specialist - every six months for public locations, with a yearly check by a licensed electrical worker. Locations with restricted access like landed homes have to be inspected by an equipment specialist every two years.
