The EV Charging Landscape in Singapore

Under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the government aims to deploy 60,000 charging points by 2030. This number consists of 40,000 in public car parks and 20,000 in private premises. As of March 2026, there were 30,500 charging points deployed in Singapore. By end-2027, there will also be at least one fast-charging hub in every HDB town.

The charging network is supported by a mix of public and private operators, each offering different charger types, pricing models, and services. Publicly accessible chargers use Type 2 AC and/or CCS2 DC connectors, with CHAdeMO permitted as an additional option. Check that the selected charger is compatible with your vehicle.

The main charger types are:

• AC Charging (Slow): Suitable for overnight or long-stay parking.
• DC Charging (Fast): Suitable for quicker top-ups. Actual charging time depends on the charger, vehicle and battery’s state of charge.

Charging is commonly billed per kWh, though some providers also charge idle fees to discourage charger hogging. Parking charges may apply separately.

#1 SP Mobility

As part of SP Group, SP Mobility operates charging points across retail, commercial, industrial and residential locations. The SP app allows drivers to check charger availability, monitor charging and receive notifications when charging ends.

Charging fees are calculated by multiplying the electricity consumed during the session, in kWh, by the applicable rate. Check the selected charger’s rate in the app before starting.

From 5 September 2026, idle fees apply at all HDB locations and petrol stations, as well as selected other locations indicated in the SP app. They apply from 10am to 10pm daily, except at petrol stations, where they apply around the clock.

Idle fees are $0.50 per minute, capped at $40 per session, after a 30-minute grace period once charging ends. The grace period begins when charging stops, even if this happens outside the hours when idle fees apply.

#2 Charge+

Charge+ provides charging services in public housing estates, condominiums, and commercial and industrial premises. Its app allows drivers to locate available stations, activate charging sessions and make cashless payments. Public charging is offered on a pay-per-use basis, while selected premises may have monthly subscriptions.

Check the applicable charging rate for your selected location in the Charge+ app before starting.

Charge+ also offers charging packages for buyers of several vehicle brands. Its listed offers include 36 months of free charging credits, totalling 10,800kWh, for eligible BMW EV buyers from Performance Motors, and up to 18 months of free charging credits, totalling 5,400kWh, for eligible Mercedes-Benz buyers from Jardine Cycle & Carriage.

#3 Shell Recharge

Shell Recharge is available at half of Shell’s service stations in Singapore, as well as malls, offices and other destinations. Drivers can locate chargers and access charging services through the Shell Recharge app.

Pricing varies by location. Shell also offers time-based pricing at selected locations, where different per-kWh rates apply at different times of day. The rate shown when you start the charging session applies throughout that session, even if it continues into another pricing period. Check the app for the latest rates and applicable periods.

Shell Recharge’s idle fees apply at all its chargers except those at HDB car parks and condominiums. Fees are $0.50 per minute, capped at $40 per session, after a 15-minute grace period at Shell stations or a 30-minute grace period at other applicable locations.
