Electric Vehicles Test-Bed
Electric Vehicles (EVs) Test-Bed
The
EMA and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) co-lead a multi-agency EV taskforce to
determine the feasibility of using EVs in Singapore. Launched in June 2011, the
EV test-bed aims to assess the performance of EVs and the ease of charging
under Singapore’s urbanised environment and road conditions.
The Test-Bed Research Design
Under the EV test-bed, data from four EV
models was collected - Daimler Smart electric drive (ed), Mitsubishi i-MiEV,
Nissan Leaf and Renault Fluence Z.E.
Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd was appointed as
the charging service provider to design, deploy, operate and maintain
Singapore’s charging infrastructure.
Update on the EV Test-Bed
The application process is now closed. Data
collection ended on 31 Dec 2013 and a review of collated data is currently
underway.
In all, 89 EVs participated in the
test bed, involving 53 organisations. To cater to the charging needs of the
EVs, 68 normal charging stations (full charge within 7-8 hours) and three quick
charging stations (full charge within 30-45 minutes) were deployed all over the
island.

test-bed.
