Singapore’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network – consisting of 500 charging points islandwide – will be made available in public areas such as malls, residential areas and business parks by 2020, Singapore Power (SP) Group has announced. The network, which SP Group said will be a boost for electric vehicle adoption in Singapore, will first be rolled out with 30 charging points that will be in operation by end-2018. “Singapore is regarded as an ideal environment for EVs as it is highly urbanised and compact,” SP Group said. “This pervasive charging network will plug a critical gap in scaling up EV adoption in Singapore by reducing range anxiety in EV drivers,” it added. The group will also be introducing an SP Group mobile application that will allow drivers to locate available charging stations across Singapore and will provide drivers with automated updates on their charging progress and electronic payment options.
