If you reside in a condominium and believe in the benefits of EV ownership, SP Group might just make that ownership journey a more pleasant one


SINGAPORE

Perhaps it is that quiet drive, the instant torque on demand, or even the idea of clean motoring which entices you into Electric Vehicle (EV) ownership. But with the greater demand for EVs comes the need for improved infrastructure.

If you are considering the purchase of an EV, one of your main considerations before taking up ownership would be where and when would it be possible to charge your vehicle. As you know, having easy access to a charging network would mean that you worry less about things like range anxiety. But beyond serving Singapore by delivering electricity to households and businesses, SP Group is also busying themselves, by building the nation’s largest high-speed electric vehicle charging network. Currently, these amount to over 1,000 charging points in more than 300 locations across retail, commercial, industrial and residential properties as well as education campuses, petrol stations and places of attraction, further adding to your charging convenience.

Having a charger at home would ultimately provide the greatest convenience. For those of you who live in a condominium development, how can you get one installed? At the moment, not all condominium developments have the required infrastructure to support electric vehicle charging. But do you know that this can be solved?

Getting Your (Charging) Points Across

To the benefit of any condominium project, SP Group offers installation and preventive maintenance (twice a year) of charging points, and at no cost to developments.

To begin the process, your Condominium Management Agent must be informed that you wish to have EV charging points available on-site. Once an AGM Resolution is passed, SP Group will do the groundwork of navigating through the hoops of technical feasibility, including determining if there is sufficient power available in your development, and also how it should deploy its charging points, before presenting its proposal to the development’s Management Committee. These include locating a suitable tap-off point and cabling that will lead to the intended parking area.

Perhaps by now, you might be asking…why should I choose SP Group as my preferred charging service provider? How about this…although their network is already big, they are still growing and they already have the most extensive EV charging network, with over 1,000 charging points, spread over more than 300 locations across the nation. Now how is that for improving your EV ownership journey?

Beyond installation and maintenance, SP Group will also look into installing additional charging points, once there is higher demand.

SP Group Provides Savings to Condominium Subscribers

Besides having no cost to installation and maintenance of EV chargers, SP Group also makes EV ownership more palatable to those who live in a condominium, by providing two choices of monthly subscription plans depending on your needs and lifestyles. There is also a choice of “Pay-As-You-Go” if you do not prefer a monthly subscription.

So Find a Plan That Suits You

Just like choosing the ideal mobile telecommunications plan for your usage needs, SP Group does the same:

Heavy usage for a charging limit of 350 kWhLite plan for a charging limit of 250kWh
Ideal for drivers who drive frequentlyRecommended for the average user
Monthly savings of up to $53
(or about 22% cost savings)
Monthly savings of up to $27
(or about 15% cost savings)

Youre In-Charge

Residential charging points, which usually range from 7.4 kW to 22 kW AC, are ideal for overnight charging. Which means you could plug-in the night before, and possibly not worry about unplugging, until the next morning before you leave for work. However, as considerate EV drivers, you’re highly encouraged to unplug your vehicle before 7 am to give others a chance to charge.

As condominium charging points are within a private network, this means that they are not accessible to the public. Therefore you need worry less about finding a charging point once you are parked at your own apartment complex. 

In-order to enjoy this convenience, all you have to do is to contact SP Group at [email protected] to have your SP app account whitelisted for use at SP chargers in your condominium or to enquire about installing chargers in your condominium.
