Measures To Increase Charging Points In High Demand HDB Car Parks In View Of 60,000 Ev Charging Points By 2030 Target

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Ng Chee Meng asked the Acting Minister for Transport with respect to the target of deploying 60,000 electric (EV) charging points by 2030

a.          how the Ministry plans to increase charging points at HDB carparks in high demand areas; and

b.          whether the Ministry accounts for residents’ expected growing demand for EVs in deciding where to allocate EV charging points.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.          We remain on track to achieve our target of deploying 60,000 charging points by 2030, in tandem with the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs).

2.          Housing and Development Board (HDB) residents have access to EV chargers which are now installed in nearly every HDB carpark. The Land Transport Authority monitors their usage, and works closely with EV Charging Operators to install more charging points at carparks with high demand, where electrical capacity permits.
