Electric car sales have picked up, powered by new tax incentives that kicked in last month.
Land Transport Authority figures show 60 full-electric cars were registered last month - nearly two-thirds of full-year registrations for such vehicles last year. On a monthly basis, last month's 60 units far outpaced last year's monthly average of 8.3 units.
