Dr Lim Wee Kiak asked the Minister for Transport
a. what is the current number of electric vehicles (EVs) registered for season parking in HDB carparks; and
b. whether there are plans to increase the availability of EV charging lots in HDB carparks where there is a higher number of EVs registered for season parking.
Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:
1. As of end September 2024, there are about 8,800 electric vehicles (EVs) registered with season parking at Housing and Development Board (HDB) carparks.
2. The average EV charger utilisation rate at HDB carparks is currently under 10%, and remains sufficient to meet the demand from EV drivers. We closely monitor EV charger utilisation at all HDB carparks, and work with the EV Charging Operators to scale up deployment of EV chargers where necessary.
