BlueSG Turbo‑Charged: 500 New Opel Corsa‑e Hit the Streets
Fasten your seatbelts, Singapore! BlueSG just dropped a fire‑and‑furiously‑chromed announcement on Facebook: they’re adding 500 brand‑new Opel Corsa‑e electric cars to their fleet. That’s half a thousand extra swoops of silent speed ready to whisk us from work to the weekend.
What’s in the Car‑pool Pack?
- Zero‑emission joyride – keep the air cleaner while still feeling that little buzz of excitement.
- Compact chic – small enough for city streets yet spacious enough for a good movie watch.
- Smart tech inside – think GPS dashboards that actually surf the web (no, seriously).
- Leisure‑ready charging – 180 minutes to full charge, so you can jam to your playlist, not the reboot.
Why It’s a Deal of a Lifetime
For the everyday commuter, this adds a flexible, affordable, and eco‑friendly choice, letting us ditch the hassle of owning a car while still enjoying the freedom to hop anywhere. For the city, it means cleaner air, fewer traffic jams, and a splash of blue tech intensity. Pretty sweet, right?
Anyway, if you miss the chance to snag one of those sleek little wonders, feel free to tune in exactly when BlueSG upgrades their app – you’ll want to be ready to click “Book Now”. Let’s take the city on a green ride, one silent Corsa‑e at a time!
Green Wheels on the Rise: BlueSG’s 1,000‑Car Road to the Future
Picture this: electric cars zipping through Singapore’s streets, as many as a small fleet of taxis, all powered by clean fuel. That’s the dream BlueSG is turning into reality, and the latest news has a few electrifying twists.
New Spanish‑Made Corsa‑e Hits the Road
- Cost breakdown – The whole project is priced at roughly $80 million, which translates to a $160,000 sticker on each car when you factor in the current Certificate of Entitlement (COE) prices.
- More doors, more fun – These Corsa‑e models will sport four doors, doubling the accessibility of the existing two‑door Italian‑made BlueCars your neighbours already love.
- Made in Spain – A bright, new chapter for the Spanish automobile industry, and a green partnership that’s sure to keep the traffic lights green.
BlueSG’s 2022 Expansion Plan
A spokesperson from BlueSG said the company has “200 or so new Opel cars on the way.” That teaser is part of a grander scheme:
- Target: 1,000 cars cruising Singapore’s roads by December 2022.
- Current count: About 800 two‑door BlueCars already enjoy daily rides.
- Goal in words: “Shift to a greener, more sized fleet that’s ready for every micro‑trip.”
BlueSG – The Story of a Singaporean Electric Pioneer
The company was born in September 2017 as a subsidiary of Goldbell and quickly rolled out electric car sharing along with charging services. Their launch in December 2017 included:
- 30 charging stations dotting the city.
- 90 Bolloré electric cars available to the public on a pay‑as‑you‑go subscription model.
Acquisition and Future Plans
In October 2021, Goldbell slid in and took over BlueSG from the French transportation giant Bolloré Group. Since then, BlueSG has pledged:
- Investment: Roughly $70 million earmarked for upgrades and expansion through 2026.
- Vision: Onboard more vehicles, build an infrastructure that keeps electric charging fast and furious, and keep the whole operation as smooth as a freshly paved road.
Take‑Away for the Community
Beyond the numbers, BlueSG’s emphasis is on making it easy and affordable for the everyday driver. They’re building a system that feels like a “borrow‑and‑return” experience, but with zero emissions and zero guilt.
So whether you’re a car enthusiast or just someone who likes hearing low‑noise humming through the office, BlueSG’s roadmap suggests that smart, sustainable transportation will soon be the norm—if not the new hip thing—on our streets. Happy driving, and keep those batteries charged!

Looking Ahead
BlueSG’s new cars are rumored to come with a higher per‑minute rate, but the brand hasn’t announced the exact figures yet. Stay tuned for more updates — it’s worth watching how the numbers evolve, especially if you’re planning to pool up those extra minutes from the Premium plan.
