Over 3,000 EV charging points now available at HDB carparks islandwide

Users of electric vehicles (EVs) now have access to more than 3,000 charging points at nearly half of the Housing Board carparks islandwide.

These chargers are located across 952 HDB carparks, said EVElectric (EVe) Charging, a subsidiary of the Land Transport Authority (LTA) that deploys EV charging points, on Aug 5.

This is up from January's figure of more than 2,400 charging points at about 700 HDB carparks.

LTA added that Eve is on track to deploy charging points at all HDB carparks by the end of 2025. The Government's aim is to install at least 12,000 EV chargers in about 2,000 HDB carparks by that time.

Some of the newer EV chargers at HDB carparks are at Blocks 259/ 264 Jurong East Street 24 and Blocks 134/136 Bedok North Avenue 3, according to EVe's website.

In total, there are now around 13,800 registered EV charging points across Singapore, LTA said.

Of these, 6,700 are publicly accessible ones, while 7,100 are private EV chargers.

In the first six months of 2024, almost one in three new cars registered in Singapore was an EV.

The latest available figures from LTA show that of the 18,576 new cars registered between January and June, 6,019 units or about 32.4 per cent were EVs.
