Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:

1.     As announced last week, the EV Common Charger Grant will be open for application from 29 July 2021. The Grant will co-fund the cost of installation for up to 2,000 electric vehicle chargers at non-landed private residences in Singapore, such as condominiums and private apartments. Eligible cost components will receive 50% reimbursement, subject to an overall cap of S$4,000 per charger. Up to 1% of residential parking lots per development can benefit from the Grant. More details can be found on LTA’s website. Interested parties may apply via the Government’s Business Grants Portal from 29 July 2021.

2.     The Ministry of Transport will monitor the take-up and effectiveness of the Grant, and review if there is a need to extend the Grant in due course.
