Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Transport whether the Government will regulate the idle fees charged by electric vehicle (EV) charging providers to ensure that there is a right balance between discouraging the hogging of EV chargers and the unfair penalisation and profiteering by EV charging providers.

S Iswaran

The EV charging industry in Singapore is nascent but will see rapid growth over the next few years, in tandem with increasing EV adoption. LTA will closely monitor the evolving behaviour of EV users, as well as the business practices of the EV charging operators (EVCOs), including the use of idle fees, to deter hogging. As we gain greater experience from implementation, LTA will work with the EVCOs and EV users to build a fair and considerate charging culture in Singapore, which will facilitate the optimal utilisation of the overall charging network, to the benefit of everyone.
