Infrastructural Initiatives with Malaysia to Allow Cross-border Travel for Singapore's Electric Vehicles

Mr Christopher de Souza asked the Minister for Transport whether there are any infrastructural initiatives to partner Malaysia in allowing cross-border travel for Singapore’s electric vehicles.

Today, electric vehicle (EV) drivers from Singapore can charge their cars in Malaysia at various locations, such as shopping malls and petrol stations, along the North-South highway. Some EV charging operators have even integrated their charging networks such that payment for charging in both countries can be done on the same application.

The Government is working with Malaysia to further facilitate cross-border charging of EVs, including coordinating standards to enhance inter-operability.
