Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Ms Yeo Wan Ling asked the Minister for Transport given the Government's push towards electric vehicle (EV) adoption and to support a sustainable transition to EVs, what measures will the Government introduce to help point-to-point EV drivers manage the resulting increase in operating costs due to the projected significant rise in electricity prices from July 2026.

Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:
