Over the weekend 22nd and 23rd July, Minister for trade and industry Gan Kim Yong launched two sets of Charge+ charging stations for EVs at Block 153 Jalan Teck Whye and Rainforest condominium in Choa Chu Kang, giving the operator more than 1,000 usable electric vehicle charging stations across the country.

Founded in 2018, Charge+ has seen dynamic growth over the last two years, and besides the goal to have 16,000 EV charging stations in Singapore by 2023 it also aims to have another 14,000 charging stations across the rest of Southeast Asia, for a combined number of 30,000 stations.

Charge+ is already operating in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. One of the key pillars to reaching its charging station target in this part of the world is the development of a 5,000km EV charging highway that will span five countries across Southeast Asia, making it one of the longest in the world.
