In June 2022, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) sought public feedback on the proposed legislation to regulate electric vehicle (EV) charging in Singapore. The proposed legislation seeks to establish new regulatory frameworks and provide LTA with the relevant enforcement powers, with a view to ensuring that Singapore’s EV charging infrastructure is safe, reliable, and accessible for all EV users.
2 The public consultation exercise[1] was held from 15 June 2022 to 14 July 2022. As part of the exercise, MOT and LTA also organised industry consultation sessions.
3 At the close of the public consultation, MOT and LTA received over 70 responses from a wide range of stakeholders, including members of the public, companies, industry and business associations. The feedback received was generally supportive of the proposed legislative measures. The main areas of feedback pertain to mandatory EV charging provision for developments; the licensing regime for EV charging operators (EVCOs); the registration regime for EV chargers; charging provisions for electric motorcycles; and measures to optimise the use of EV charging points. Details on the key pieces of feedback received and the corresponding written responses from MOT and LTA can be found in the Annex.
4 MOT and LTA would like to thank all members of the public and industry for their active participation in the public consultation exercise. Their feedback was critical in strengthening the proposed legislation, which is expected to be tabled in Parliament by the end of this year.
