Electric Vehicles (EVs) are increasingly being seen as a sustainable mode of transport by countries worldwide as they are more efficient than internal combustion engines (ICEs) and can help to reduce carbon emissions.

EV Test-Bedding Programme

EMA and LTA co-lead a multi-agency EV Taskforce to test-bed EVs and assess the benefits and feasibility of adopting EVs in Singapore.

On 25 June 2011, the EV Test-bed was launched as an open platform for companies interested in shaping the future of electrification of the transport system.

The test-bed seeks to achieve four main outcomes:

The test-bed will operate till 2013.

Update on the EV Test-Bed and locations of charging stations

Currently, 25 EVs (18 Mitsubishi i-MiEVs, 5 Daimlers, 2 Renault Fluences Z.E.) and running 19 charging stations (18 normal charging stations and 1 quick charging station) rolled out as part of the test-bed. More charging stations will be deployed in tandem with the take-up rate of EVs in the test-bed.
