Do you drive an Electric Vehicle (EV) in Singapore? Here is a list of shopping malls with EV charging stations.

Well, according to the electric mobility plans announced by the Singapore Government early this year, owners can expect more charging stations installed at shopping malls.

Here is the list of shopping malls that have EV charging stations for your use.

American electric car manufacturers Tesla recently set up their first charging point in Singapore and has plans to expand to more locations in the coming months.

We do not know much about the pricing but the Tesla V3 Superchargers are expected to shorten charging time to 15 minutes for a full charge instead of the usual one hour. They have been installed under a regulatory sandbox by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

Kindly note that the Tesla V3 Supercharges will only be available for Tesla owners.

Orchard Central

Millenia Walk
