Charge+ Shocks the City with a Milestone EV Charging Launch!
Guess what? Charge+, the local electric‑vehicle charging network, just nailed the first wave of chargers that the Singapore government put up for grabs. The whole city’s watching, and these chargers are now officially up and running.
What better way to celebrate than a mini‑party at one of the brand‑new stations? The event was lit, and the star of the show was none other than Senior Minister of State and Punggol‑Pasir‑Ris MP Dr Janil Puthucheary. The energy was electric—pun absolutely intended.
What’s the buzz?
- Completion celebration – The first wave of government‑tendered chargers hit the roads.
- “Power up” moment – A celebratory event at a charging point that was carefully chosen for its symbolic importance.
- VIP guest – Dr Janil Puthucheary, the Senior Minister of State, graced the occasion with his presence.
- Community touch – The event highlighted how Charge+ is tightening the bonds between technology and the people who use it.
Why it matters
With this milestone, Charge+ is steering Singapore toward a cleaner, greener future. Every new charger is a step toward more sustainable commuting for everyone. And who knew a charging station could be a stage for a round of applause?
Future‑forward vibes
Now that the first wave is complete, there’s a whole menu of possibilities on the horizon—more stations, better coverage, and a whole lot of electrifying enthusiasm.

Singapore’s Bold Move Toward a Plug‑In Future
Today marked a big win for the City’s electric vehicle push. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) pulled out all the stops to launch Singapore’s first government‑backed tender for EV charging stations inside public parking lots.
Why This Matters
The plan is to speed up deployment, especially in those familiar HDB carparks where residents can plug in with a single tap. The agencies are using this pilot to fine‑tune their process for the big rollout.
What the Data Says
Thanks to insights from Charge+ and other operators, the LTA and URA now know exactly what’s needed to map out chargers across every HDB car‑park. So in the next few years, you’ll likely find a charging port right next to your parking spot.
Dr. Puthucheary’s Take
- “We’re charting a smoother path for EV owners,” he said.
- “Data from operators like Charge+ guides us in covering all HDB carparks effectively.”
In short, Singapore’s taking the road to electric mobility seriously—one slick charging station at a time.

Charge+ Lights Up Singapore’s HDB Heartlands
At the bustling launch event, CEO Goh Chee Kiong put the spotlight on a simple yet powerful idea:
“We’re thrilled to help more Singaporean EV drivers in HDB neighborhoods actually get their cars charged at home.”
That’s the gist of what happened when Charge+ rolled out its new doorstep‑charging service today. It’s not just about batteries; it’s about making life a little smoother for everyone living in those quintessential apartment blocks.
Why It Matters
- Convenience – No more detours to a public charging hub.
- Community Boost – A cleaner, greener vibe right at your doorstep.
- Economic Edge – Keeps your fuel budget in check and saves you time.
- Future‑Proof – Supports the growing EV market in Singapore.
How It Works (Almost Silly Easy)
- Plug in your charging cable.
- Set the charging time on the app (or just hit start).
- Watch your car power up while you sip your coffee—no extra effort required.
Ultimately, Charge+ is turning ordinary HDB homes into charging hubs, and that’s a win for the environment, for the wallet, and for the everyday hum of Singapore’s streets.
So next time you’re stuck at a charger in the parking lot, just remember: the future (and your car) are closer than you think.

The EV wave begins
Singapore’s Super‑charged Swap Party
Where the Juice Jumps
Picture 153 charging points spread across 50 different spots—think parking lots of five government agencies, but the real star of the show is 111 public chargers tucked neatly into HDB carparks. Yep, your go‑to spot for a quick power‑up is right between the block‑counters!
Who’s Behind the Power Play
- Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) & Land Transport Authority (LTA) are the masterminds behind the nationwide rollout.
- Charge+ and its buddies are handling the North and Northeastern swath of the island—think Ang Mo Kio, Hougang, Punggol, Sengkang, Sembawang, Woodlands, Yishun.
Spotlight on 603 Punggol Road
Why gather at the multi‑storey carpark on 603 Punggol Road? Because it’s the most‑visited split‑channel for HDB chargers in the North‑Northeast. The place is basically the hotspot where every electric roll‑up checks in!
The Electric Lineup
- BYD T3 van – the rugged freight‑filled champ.
- Two MG 5 taxis – after‑hours street racing? No, just busy cabbies.
- Buyer of a Tesla Model 3 – sleek & in‑style.
- Polestar 2 – the British‑born, Swedish‑engineered pop.
According to Charge+, this mix showcases the dynamic flavor of Singapore’s EV charging scene. Everyone gets a chance to plug in, no matter the model or the mission.

Charge+ Zips Around Singapore: From HDB Carparks to Condo Bathrooms
Dr. Puthucheary pulled the curtain on a bustling automotive scene at a recent gathering. He pointed out that the electric vehicles parked in HDB carparks form a mixed‑menu of taxis, private hire cars, logistics vans, and your average family sedan. “It’s like a potluck,” he joked, “but with cars instead of casseroles.”
Why Charge+ is the One‑Stop Shop for Singapore’s EVs
- Public Housing – HDB lots now buzz with charging stations.
- Condominiums – more than 100 blocks have already installed stations, thanks to rebates that make the cost look like a sugar‑free snack.
- Commercial & Industrial Builds – rooftops and basements are getting a power makeover.
According to Mr. Goh, Charge+ is the only operator in Singapore that covers all these segments. In other words, if you’re looking to plug in wherever you live, work, or hustle, this company’s got the plug.
So, whether you’re a taxi roofer, a logistics wizard, or a daily commuter, the next time you hit a HDB lot, you’ll see a nice array of EVs ready to roll – and a Charge+ charging pad ready to keep them humming.
