The Republic is more than a quarter of the way to achieving its goal of installing 60,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across the island by 2030, with more than 15,300 charging stations now available islandwide.
The latest tally shows that as at September, about 1,500 more charging points have been installed than the number reported in August.
According to figures in a new EV guide published online by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Nov 4, about 7,100 of the 15,300 charging points available today are publicly accessible, with the rest located in private premises such as condominiums.
While the majority of public chargers will be slow chargers intended for overnight use, LTA plans for some of these public chargers to be fast-charging.
These fast chargers can juice up a typical EV battery from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in an hour, compared with several hours for a regular slow charger.
On Nov 4, the first of a new batch of public fast chargers was unveiled at the basement carpark of Woodlands Civic Centre.
