Ensuring Affordable Public EV Charging at HDB Carparks Through Energy Cost Monitoring and Safeguards

Electric vehicles

5 May 2026

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question 

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Acting Minister for Transport

a.      in relation to EV chargers installed at HDB carparks (a) whether the Ministry monitors pass-through energy costs to public charging tariffs; and

b.      what safeguards exist beyond competition and initial tender evaluation to keep HDB charging affordable.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow: 

1.      While the Government does not intervene in pricing set by EV Charging Operators (EVCOs), we ensure users have multiple options from a range of EVCOs, where feasible. For instance, TD116, the first large-scale tender for the supply of EV chargers in the Housing and Development Board (HDB) carparks, selects two EVCOs to deploy and operate EV chargers in HDB carparks in each region. After the award of tenders, we expect EVCOs to be transparent in publishing prices as a means of keeping charging competitive.
