Why is EV uptake in Singapore still so slow? Let's look at the numbers to find out

While EVs are the future that every carmaker touts, it's plainly evident to anyone here in Singapore that EV uptake is still relatively slow.

In Singapore? There was a total of 45,442 new cars registered in 2021. While LTA does not have a specific category for EVs , LTA does have a statistic for the total vehicle population by fuel type. Furthermore, the EVs in Singapore amount to just 0.005 per cent of the total car population. That stands in stark contrast against an outlier country like Norway , but also regions like China , Europe , and even petrol-mad America .There are, of course, concerns about charging infrastructure, though there is presently a push to grow the charging network significantly. We can also moan about COE and outrageous car prices, but that's not an EV-specific gripe.
