LTA Data Metrics to Determine EV Charging Point Adequacy in Bidadari Estate's HDB Carparks

Mr Alex Yeo asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) whether LTA uses data metrics to determine the adequacy of electric vehicle (EV) charging points in HDB carparks; (b) based on the data, whether LTA assesses there to be adequate EV charging points in the Bidadari Estate; and (c) whether LTA will consider adding a fast-charging hub in Bidadari given the Estate's high demand for EV charging points.

The Land Transport Authority and its subsidiary, EV-Electric Charging Pte Ltd, monitor charger utilisation rates and work with EV charging operators to scale up deployment in high demand areas, where electrical capacity permits.

In Bidadari estate, the slow chargers are utilised for about 40% of the time on average, compared to about 20% nationwide. More slow charging points will be deployed in Bidadari this year. Electrical infrastructure upgrades are ongoing to enable the installation of a fast-charging hub in the future. In the meantime, there are already fast chargers available at Woodleigh Mall and nearby petrol kiosks.
