The event saw active involvement from Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment, Dr. Amy Khor, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport; Sustainability & the Environment, Mr. Yam Keng Baey, and representatives from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore. This initiative brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including EV drivers, e-Fleet operators, and charging point operators, to discuss and address common challenges such as EV lot hogging.

ChargEco’s General Manager, Richard Chin, and Head of Operations, Thomas Tong, contributed significantly to the discussions, focusing on collaborative solutions to improve charging practices. The outcomes of the workshop may soon lead to the creation of a comprehensive booklet detailing EV charging etiquette and best practices.

This collaborative effort underscores ChargEco’s commitment to fostering a responsible and efficient EV charging environment, marking a significant step forward in Singapore’s journey towards an electrified future.

Expanding our reach, we have also begun commissioning EV chargers in Surface Carparks (SCPs), further broadening access to sustainable EV charging solutions across Singapore. Our installations are now energizing neighborhoods in the central and eastern regions, including Bukit Panjang, Holland Village, Telok Blangah, Marine Parade, Bedok, and Pasir Ris.

We are grateful for the support of our partners and the communities we serve, which have been crucial to our progress. Together, we are driving positive change and paving the way toward a greener future. Let’s keep pushing forward!

In a forward-looking move, Republic Polytechnic is also set to expand its sustainability efforts through strategic collaborations with ChargEco. These partnerships are aimed at providing students with practical, hands-on learning opportunities focused on the operation and technology of EV charging systems. As part of this educational initiative, students will:

1. Acquire essential skills for the smooth operation of EV charging infrastructure.
2. Gain valuable insights into the technology behind EV charging and its crucial role in building a sustainable future.
3. Tackle real-world problem-solving using data from the installed EV chargers.

Join us in championing a greener future and be part of this initiative at Republic Polytechnic!

During their stay, the focus of discussions between YES Charging and ChargEco was on solidifying the business foundations necessary for sustainable growth. Topics included enhancing cybersecurity measures, optimising customer service support, and streamlining operational workflows. These discussions are aimed at ensuring a seamless and secure charging experience for all customers.

ChargEco is dedicated to continuous improvement and learning from top industry leaders. Collaborations like the one with YES Charging are instrumental in driving innovation and making a positive impact on the future of EV charging. Together, ChargEco and YES Charging are not just powering EVs; they are shaping the future of the industry.

The new Dynamic Load Management System (DLMS) enabled EV charging points, initiated as part of the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) large-scale deployment tender requirement, are equipped with smart controllers, switches and algorithms that monitor the electrical load at MSCPs and dynamically adjust power supply based on real-time usage. Electricity that is not consumed by MSCP amenities, such as lifts, lights, and gantries, is safely channelled to EV charging points, leading to a more efficient use of electrical power supply. With the DLMS fitted at MSCPs with limited power availability, the existing power can be better optimised, enabling the deployment of some EV chargers ahead of conventional electrical infrastructure upgrades. The charging speed may also be optimised accordingly depending on the electricity consumption.

The first DLMS-enabled EV charging point, which will be on trial at Block 104A Henderson Crescent, was launched today by Mr Chan Chun Sing, Minister for Education and Member of Parliament for Tanjong Pagar GRC. To mark the milestone, EV drivers will enjoy a 50 per cent charging discount at this pilot site until further notice.

“As we expand the number of EV charging points across the island and in many public carparks, we look forward to greater convenience for all EV users and a greener Singapore,” said Mr Chan.

ChargEco, a joint venture between SMRT Corporation’s business arm STRIDES and integrated energy provider YTL Power Seraya, is the first CPO in Singapore to launch the trial of DLMS-enabled EV charging points under the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) large-scale deployment tender to install EV charging points at HDB car parks across central and eastern Singapore.

To help oversee the deployment of EV charging points across public car parks, EV-Electric Charging Pte Ltd (“EVe”, pronounced as “Eve”), LTA’s wholly-owned subsidiary, works closely with the appointed EV Charging Operators and government agencies to plan and manage the deployment of EV charging points at public carparks island-wide, and coordinate efforts to develop the electrical infrastructure upgrades needed to support the deployment of EV chargers.

Following the completion of the trial, ChargEco aims to implement DLMS-enabled EV charging points at more HDB MSCPs that have limited or no spare electrical power, in support of Singapore’s goal for all HDB MSCPs to be EV by 2025.

“We are working to expand the DLMS to optimise the power availability of the MSCPs. Given the same power supply, we could potentially deploy more charging points at each MSCP. This includes MSCPs that previously do not have the available electrical capacity. Beyond HDB MSCPs, the DLMS will also be very useful in private residential, retail, and commercial spaces as well,” said Mr Richard Chin, General Manager of ChargEco.

The DLMS was developed by Delta Electronics Singapore, a provider of power and thermal management products and solutions. ChargEco is working closely with them to finetune the DLMS algorithm to suit the local operating environment, based on its CPO experience and operational data.

The introduction of DLMS-enabled EV charging points is the latest milestone by ChargEco, which was established in 2022 to provide affordable, reliable, and convenient EV charging services. In February 2023, ChargEco became the first CPO to complete the roll-out of the inaugural batch of HDB car park EV charging points under the LTA’s large-scale tender awarded in November 2022. Till date, ChargEco has launched over 150 EV charging points at HDB car parks, private residences, and commercial buildings, and is set to double that number by end FY2023.

Official Media Release

Our collaboration with GetGo is geared toward enhancing the experience of drivers who opt to rent electric vehicles (EVs). Effective immediately, you can rent an EV and effortlessly locate and access ChargEco’s extensive network of charging points, all from the user-friendly GetGo app.

We’re excited about the prospect of supporting a car-lite society in Singapore, where sustainable and convenient transportation options are at your fingertips. As the EV revolution gains momentum, ChargEco is here to power the way forward, making eco-friendly transportation a reality for all.

Addressing Range Anxiety

To alleviate the common concern of range anxiety, the team has been hard at work over the past few months. We’ve successfully operationalised more than 100 charging points spread across Singapore. This accomplishment demonstrates our commitment to making EV charging more accessible and convenient, not only for current EV drivers but also for those considering making the switch. Every new charging point brings us closer to building a robust EV ecosystem.

Expanding our Charging Network

But that’s not the end of our journey; it’s just the beginning. We’re excited to announce that we have even bigger plans in store for the future. You can look forward to the addition of even more charging points in your neighbourhoods.

Our goal is simple: to ensure that finding a charging spot is a breeze, making it easier for you to embrace the EV lifestyle. The ChargEco team is committed to maintaining this momentum and expanding our charging network even further.
