Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Acting Minister for Transport
a. whether the utilisation patterns of Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers at HDB carparks have increased to more than 10%;
b. if so, what is the current utilisation pattern;
c. which estates have the highest utilisation rates; and
d. in addition to charging demand and electrical capacity, what other key factors does the Ministry consider when determining whether more EV chargers can be deployed in HDB carparks.
Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:
1. The average utilisation rate of EV chargers across all Housing and Development Board (HDB) carparks during the 3-hour peak of each carpark is 36% in February 2026. Tengah has the highest peak utilisation rate, at 61%. Utilisation and charging behaviour vary across carparks and with charger power ratings.
2. Besides utilisation and availability of electrical capacity, availability of parking lots and nearby charging options are also considered when determining installation plans.
