Update on National Electric Vehicle Car-sharing Scheme

7 Mr Ang Hin Kee asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether he can provide a progress update on the national electric vehicle (EV) car-sharing scheme that is scheduled for rollout in mid-2017; and (b) what has been the take-up rate of the EV car-sharing scheme and the construction status of the EV stations and charging points in the selected HDB towns.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The first phase of the BlueSG electric vehicle car-sharing programme will commence in the next few months. The services will begin with 125 electric cars and 200 charging points across 50 car parks.

The Land Transport Authority and BlueSG are currently discussing with the various communities on the specific car park lots to install the charging points and to complete the legal documents.
