Singapore Power to set up EV charging network
The Singapore based power company announced their plans to construct an EV charging network with 500 stations in Singapore by 2020, including 100 DC fast chargers.
The charging points will be set up in residential and commercial areas across the island, as well as shopping centers. Construction efforts will begin soon, and the first 30 stations will be installed before the end of this year.
The SP Group is planning to take a proactive approach in the energy revolution, and get a head start in front of companies such as Greenlots, Red Dot Power and BlueSG, who are also active on the Singapore market. In a statement, Singapore Power said their plan was to “plug a critical gap in scaling up EV adoption in Singapore”.
Currently there are less than 5 DC chargers in the country, servicing more than 350 BEVs in the nation, meaning it is high time for expansion, if the automobile industry is to grow in the island nation. Pricing details for the charging service will be revealed later this year after the installation of the first 30 charging points.
