Questions raised by 12 Members of Parliament included: Will the Government waive parking fees for EV owners who travel to an adjacent precinct to use the public charger in the Housing and Development Board car park?
Many MPs flagged that they had received complaints of car owners — including owners of non-electric vehicles — who hog parking lots with charging points. As for lot hoggers, he said that charging operators will be commercially driven to tackle this issue because if a car is occupying a lot but not charging, that would lead to a loss in revenue, he said.Mr Saktiandi Supaat asked why the Government developments are exempt from having to install a minimum number of chargers under the Bill.
In reply, Mr Iswaran said that the COE system was designed solely to limit the vehicle population in Singapore. To add other objectives to that would not be good policy. To encourage adoption at condominiums, the Government also has an EV Common Charger Grant that has co-funded the installation of more than 200 chargers at more than 80 developments, with 30 applications pending review, Mr Iswaran said.Several MPs, including Mr Ang, Mr Saktiandi and Mr Sharael Taha, also asked how the Government will ensure that charging services are priced fairly.exited the market
