Local electric vehicle (EV) charging operator Charge+ has taken over 140 chargers from three companies, at a time when firms are exiting the business as more stringent regulations kick in.
These belonged to eChargz, QuickCharge and PaC Components (PacCom) and are located in 42 properties, being a mix of condominiums and commercial buildings, including the Esplanade. Most are slow chargers, rated at between 7kW and 22kW.
Charge+ chief executive Goh Chee Kiong told The Straits Times that all the acquired charging points have been switched over to Charge+'s system.
EV drivers can use the Charge+ smartphone app to initiate a charge at these locations. Residents in the affected properties have been informed of the change.
Charge+ says that the move brings the total number of charging points in its Singapore network to "about 2,500".
When asked by ST, Mr Goh said that Charge+ had been approached by other operators to take over their chargers, but did not elaborate.
It is not known how many EV charging operators (Evcos) operated before the licensing regime was implemented.
In October, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) listed 32 charging operators who are allowed to apply for its grant to subsidise charger installations at condominiums.
