Utilisation Patterns of EV Chargers at HDB Car Parks and Factors Determining Increased Deployment of Such Chargers

Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) whether the utilisation patterns of Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers at HDB car parks have increased to more than 10%; (b) if so, what is the current utilisation pattern; (c) which estates have the highest utilisation rates; and (d) in addition to charging demand and electrical capacity, what other key factors does the Ministry consider when determining whether more EV chargers can be deployed in HDB car parks.

The average utilisation rate of EV chargers across all Housing and Development Board car parks during the three-hour peak of each car park is 36% in February 2026. Tengah has the highest peak utilisation rate, at 61%. Utilisation and charging behaviour vary across car parks and with charger power ratings.

Besides utilisation and availability of electrical capacity, availability of parking lots and nearby charging options are also considered when determining installation plans.
