在新加坡拥有电动汽车的主要关切和采用此类车辆的公众教育

16 帕雷克(官委议员） 先生向交通部长提问：

(a) 电动汽车车主对这些车辆在新加坡道路上的使用和可行性有哪些主要关切；

(b) 交通部打算采取哪些措施，加强关于采用电动汽车的公众教育计划；

(c) 与发达经济体相比，新加坡在向电动汽车过渡方面的情况如何。

徐芳达先生：电动车车主关心的一个问题是是否有公共充电点。政府已将在公共停车场提供充电点列为优先事项，我们正在这方面取得进展。目前，全岛共有6200多个电动汽车充电桩，到2025年底，我们将在所有建屋发展局（HDB）停车场安装电动汽车充电桩。

高里程驾驶者，如出租车和私家车驾驶者，由于路途遥远，可能需要在中午补足电量。我们已开始在建屋发展局城镇中心和裕廊镇公司工业厂房部署一些快速充电桩。

陆路交通管理局将继续提供电动汽车的相关信息，并鼓励负责任的电动汽车充电行为。

KEY CONCERNS OF OWNING ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN SINGAPORE AND PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ADOPTION OF SUCH VEHICLES

16 Mr Neil Parekh Nimil Rajnikant asked the Minister for Transport (a) what have been key concerns of owners of electric vehicles (EVs) on the use and viability of these vehicles on Singapore roads; (b) what steps does the Ministry intend to take to enhance its public education programme on adopting EVs; and (c) how is Singapore fairing thus far compared to developed economies in the transition into EVs.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: One concern of electric vehicles (EVs) owners is the availability of publicly accessible charging points. The Government has prioritised the provision of charging points in public carparks and we are making progress on this. There are more than 6,200 EV chargers around the island and we are on track to deploy EV chargers at all Housing and Development Board (HDB) carparks by end-2025.

High-mileage drivers, such as taxi and private hire car drivers, may require a mid-day top-up due to the distances they travel. We have started to deploy some fast chargers in HDB town centres and Jurong Town Corporation industrial premises.

The Land Transport Authority will continue to provide relevant information about EVs and encourage responsible EV charging practices.
