How the rates compare

Lowest listed rate in Singapore: S$0.34 per kWh, at the Schneider Electric Building on Kallang Avenue. Those chargers are for the staff who work there, not the public, and the revolt.sg charger map marks them "Restricted access".

Cheapest confirmed open to the public: S$0.43 per kWh, on a 7.4kW AC point run by Eneready at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduates' Guild on Dover Road (postal code 139658).

Lowest listed DC rate: S$0.39 per kWh, on a 30kW unit at Millage on Changi Road.

Cheapest fast DC confirmed open to the public: S$0.50 per kWh for 50kW or more, on a 180kW ultra-fast unit at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduates' Guild on Dover Road.

The median public rate: S$0.70 per kWh for AC and S$0.80 for fast DC (50kW to 150kW). FastParkNCharge's S$0.74 here is above the AC median on its AC plugs, and below the fast DC median on its 100kW DC plugs.

What a typical charge costs here

Take a 30kWh top-up on a FastParkNCharge 22kW AC plug, in a car that arrives at 10am from Monday to Thursday and takes up to 11kW on AC. Drivers should check what their own car takes.

  • Time: about 2 hours 44 minutes at 11kW.
  • Charge: about S$22, at S$0.74 per kWh.
  • Parking: S$2.73 for the first hour plus 4 × S$1.31, so about S$8. From Friday to Sunday and on public holidays it is S$2.62 plus 4 × S$1.91, so about S$10. The revolt.sg charger map also shows ION Orchard's parking charges.
  • Total: about S$30, or about S$1.01 per kWh, and about S$32 from Friday to Sunday.
  • On a 100kW DC plug: the charge costs the same, but a car that averages 50kW on DC takes about 36 minutes, so the total is about S$25 from Monday to Thursday, or about S$0.83 per kWh, as parking is then S$2.73 for the first hour.
