Electric cars are constantly in the news these days. Be it the growing number of available models or the fact that more charging points are sprouting up around Singapore, electric vehicles give everyone something to think and talk about.
Charging must dovetail with your lifestyle in order for an EV to work for you. Avoid thinking that you can just make separate trips for charging alone. That will make charging a chore and could eventually lead to you resenting your car.Apart from finding charging points, you also need to determine who are their providers. In Singapore, SP Mobility and Shell Recharge have two of the widest networks available to EV drivers. But there are numerous other providers as well.
If your car needs an hour or 1.5 hours of DC charging before it's fully charged, that's how long your car will be out of action. It'll take even longer if you use AC charging, as many EV models can only take up to 11kW AC charging.
