Optimising Utilisation of EV Charging Infrastructure

Sectors

Electric vehicles

7 May 2026

Oral Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling

Mr Edward Chia Bing Hui asked the Acting Minister for Transport with reference to electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities at public carparks and other Government-managed premises, how the Ministry is ensuring the efficient utilisation of EV charging infrastructure across different times of the day given Singapore's land and energy constraints.

Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Ms Sun Xueling: 

1.     We are deploying EV chargers in tandem with growing demand, within the constraints of space and electricity. As EV technology is continuously improving, we are also mindful not to overbuild as chargers can become obsolete quickly. We monitor utilisation rates closely and deploy more chargers when utilisation is high.

2.      EV Charging Operators (EVCOs) implement various incentives and disincentives to optimise usage throughout different times of day. Some EVCOs impose idle fees during non-overnight hours to deter unnecessary occupancy of EV charging lots. Other operators charge lower prices during off-peak hours. LTA will work with EVCOs to explore other measures to encourage charging during off-peak periods.
