More than 8 in 10 HDB carparks have been equipped with EV charging points, with around 150 more carparks to join the pack.
Deployment for the remaining 150 carparks will be completed after 2025 due to factors such as technical constraints and taking in community preferences to balance the parking needs of various users, said LTA.
