Singapore’s premier EV show brought a range of electric cars to a wider audience, while its panel discussions brought forward the EV debate.The island's first and largest electric vehicle showcase, EV Weekend, saw its second, successful iteration last week, running from Nov 8 to 13, at Suntec City's North Atrium.
But EV Weekend has always been about educating the public and spreading increased awareness about electrified motoring.This year, it achieved that in two ways: Firstly, with education exhibits and displays at the show. The guest-of-honour for the plenary sessions was Saktiandi Supaat, Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, Toa Payoh East, and head of the Parliamentary Committee for Transport.
"Vehicular transport has run on fossil fuel for decades, and it's clear that we need to make the change for the benefit of all Singaporeans. "EV Weekend is simply one of the milestones on this sustainability journey that Singapore has begun."The first panel discussion covered the long-term of electrification, with input from industry experts.
