- 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.
