As Singapore continues its transition toward a more sustainable future, electric cars (EVs) are no longer just an option—they are becoming the new normal. But what can drivers, buyers, and EV enthusiasts expect beyond 2025?
This article explores the upcoming EV trends in Singapore, focusing on government initiatives, COE changes, EV technology, and the evolving consumer landscape.
1. Full Rollout of EV-Ready HDB Carparks
By 2025, Singapore aims to install 60,000 EV charging points nationwide—40,000 in public carparks and 20,000 in private premises. By 2026:
Most HDB carparks will have at least 2 to 4 EV charging stations, reducing range anxiety.
LTA’s EV Common Charger Grant (ECCG) will further accelerate charger installation in condominiums and private properties.
