EV Charging in Singapore: Connectors, Networks & Costs
5 min read · Updated 8 August 2026
Compact Singapore is rolling out charging fast, with a national target for every HDB town — here's how it works.
Singapore is expanding EV charging rapidly under a national plan to install tens of thousands of charging points, including across public housing (HDB) carparks. Distances are short, so most charging is destination and overnight AC, backed by growing DC fast charging. It uses the European connector standards.
Connectors you'll meet
The major networks
- SP Group (SP Mobility) — one of the largest public networks.
- ComfortDelGro ENGIE, Shell Recharge — growing coverage.
- Charge+ and others — expanding across carparks and HDB estates.
Because the island is small, you're rarely far from a charger — overnight AC charging in your carpark covers most daily driving, with DC hubs for a quick top-up.
| Charging | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Home / HDB carpark AC | Moderate | Depends on operator and site |
| Public AC | Moderate | Common at malls and carparks |
| DC fast charging | Per kWh via app | Growing hub coverage |
Practical tips
- Overnight AC charging in your carpark is the easiest daily option.
- Register with the operators' apps you'll use (SP, ComfortDelGro, etc.).
- Use ChargEV to find the nearest available charger and confirm its status.
