Course Description

Under the Singapore Green Plan 2030 (SGP30), LTA has a comprehensive EV Roadmap to ramp up the efforts for EV adoption, such as setting a target of 60,000 EV charging points by 2030. With the advancement of EV technology, the cost of buying an EV and ICE vehicle may be similar by the mid-2020s. As the prices of EVs become more attractive, and more accessibility of charging infrastructure, more car owners will buy EVs. EV is new, especially to the independent workshops, they need to upgrade their staff for the EV technology.
