EV charging in Jurong East and Boon Lay: where it is cheapest, and the blocks where overnight gets tight

The cheapest charge in Jurong East and Boon Lay is the one at the foot of the block.

Charge+ runs the chargers at nearly every Housing and Development Board (HDB) block in the two towns, 74 of them, at a flat S$0.63 per kWh.

That is among the lowest block rates in Singapore, and it means most residents charge cheaply without leaving the estate.

The malls and business parks are the expensive convenience, dearer by a third or more.

Fast charging costs more and is scattered, though a couple of public chargers sit close to the block rate, at a Boon Lay clubhouse and out in the Penjuru industrial estate.

The overnight squeeze, where there is one, falls on those same cheap blocks.

There is a different charger for the cheapest top-up, the overnight plug and the fast charge in a hurry.

The cheapest charge: the blocks

Jurong is unusual in that the cheapest charging is the charging nearest home.

Charge+ runs the alternating-current chargers at the foot of nearly every block in both towns, 74 of them, at a flat S$0.63 per kWh.

That is among the lowest block rates in Singapore, and a resident in most of Jurong East or Jurong West charges cheaply without leaving the estate.

The rest of the blocks, where Charge+ does not run them, are ComfortDelGro ENGIE's, at S$0.70 per kWh.

A couple of chargers go lower still on slow charging, the MNL Solutions unit at the Toh Guan Centre at S$0.55 and a 7.4kW charger at The Chevrons clubhouse at S$0.60, but both suit a driver already parked nearby more than a special trip.

For a quick charge rather than a slow one, the cheapest is a VOLT 120kW charger in the multi-storey carpark at Block 762A Jurong West Street 75, in Gek Poh, at about S$0.59 per kWh.

The shopping centre there closed for redevelopment in 2025, but the carpark and its charger stay open and in daily use, so it is a carpark-only stop now, worth a check before a special trip.

After it come The Chevrons clubhouse, where EV Mobility charges S$0.66, and the APECO building on Penjuru Road, where VOLT runs one at S$0.65 in the daytime.

On a 40kWh top-up that is about S$24 at the Gek Poh charger and S$25 at a Charge+ block, against about S$34 at the dearest mall charger.

Charging overnight: where the squeeze is

For residents without a home charger, the block chargers are the overnight default, and across Jurong East and Boon Lay they are mostly an easy target.

About a quarter of the block ports are in use overnight, and far fewer by day.

Jurong West's big, mature estates carry plenty of supply, so even at the late-night peak most sockets sit empty, and on most streets a resident can come home late and still find a plug.

The squeeze is local, and it falls on the cheap blocks: a handful fill to the last socket while the blocks next door stay open.

The one that genuinely fills is Block 212A Boon Lay Place, a Charge+ block with only two sockets, usually with none left after about 8.30pm, weekday or weekend.

Caught later, a driver can walk to Block 208A Boon Lay Place along the same road, where the chargers are ComfortDelGro ENGIE's at S$0.70 and usually open.

The cheap Charge+ blocks in Jurong West fill next, because they are cheap.

Block 841A Jurong West Street 81 is down to its last socket by about 9pm on a weeknight, though it stays open later at the weekend. Block 854A on the same street, also Charge+ at S$0.63, keeps sockets open all night.

Block 657 Jurong West Street 65 holds longer, down to its last socket or two by about 11pm, a little earlier at the weekend, with the 10-socket Block 659 next door at the same rate when it is full.

A few ComfortDelGro ENGIE blocks tighten too.

Block 655 Jurong West Street 61 is near full by about 10.30pm on a weeknight and earlier on a Friday or Saturday, while Block 183 Boon Lay Avenue fills by about 10.30pm either day.

When they do, the Charge+ block at 650 Jurong West Street 61, cheaper at S$0.63, and the ComfortDelGro ENGIE block at 187 Boon Lay Avenue, at the same S$0.70, are a short walk away and usually open.

The pattern across the area is the same. Because the blocks are so densely wired, a full one almost always has a looser one on the same street, so the answer to a taken socket is a short walk, not a drive.

None of this is worth guessing at from home. The revolt.sg charger map shows which block has an open port right now.

For a resident who would rather not gamble on a socket, the paid fast chargers sit near-empty in the evenings: The Chevrons clubhouse, the Charge+ fast chargers at the Boon Lay Place and Jurong East Street 24 blocks, and the mall units all keep open bays after dark.

When speed matters: fast, and where to find it

The quick charging is dearer than the blocks and scattered across the clubhouses, malls and business parks.

The cheapest is the VOLT charger at the Gek Poh carpark on Jurong West Street 75, at about S$0.59, then The Chevrons clubhouse at S$0.66 and the VOLT unit at the APECO building on Penjuru Road at S$0.65, which runs only in the daytime.

Charge+ runs 160kW chargers, the fastest in the area, at two housing blocks, on Boon Lay Place and Jurong East Street 24, both at S$0.73 per kWh.

KED Energy covers a couple of business buildings at S$0.72, on its fast chargers at the Enterprise Hub on Toh Guan Road East and the 1A International Business Park tower. The SAFRA Jurong clubhouse has a 60kW Strides YTL unit at S$0.73.

The dearest fast charging is at the malls and the logistics estates, at S$0.86 per kWh. SP Mobility and Shell run 50 to 190kW chargers at IMM and Westgate, the Mapletree logistics hub on Toh Guan Road East, and the Penjuru and Boon Lay Way industrial blocks.

The malls, the hospital and the campuses

The malls all have charging. But none of it is cheap.

IMM and Westgate, the two malls at the Jurong East hub, run SP Mobility chargers at S$0.77 per kWh on alternating current and S$0.86 on their 50kW fast units.

JEM and Jurong Point, the bigger malls at the Jurong East and Boon Lay interchanges, have VOLT chargers in their carparks too, though the rate is best checked in the app before counting on it.

Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, on Jurong East Street 21, runs SP Mobility chargers at S$0.72 on alternating current and S$0.81 on its fast units, for the visitors and staff parked for hours.

The business and research campuses fill in the rest. The Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre at Bulim, which builds electric cars and runs public visitor tours, has Shell and SP Mobility chargers. The International Business Park towers and the JTC Summit carry SP Mobility's. And Science Centre Singapore has a charger in its visitor carpark.

None of these is the cheap way to charge, and most make sense only for a driver already parked there.

Paying for it

There is no single tap-and-go card across the networks, so the app matters.

Charge+ runs most of the block chargers, at S$0.63, and the two fastest units at Boon Lay Place and Jurong East Street 24, all through its own app. ComfortDelGro ENGIE covers the other blocks, at S$0.70.

SP Mobility runs the malls, the hospital, the business parks and the petrol stations, and VOLT the APECO fast charger and the mall units at JEM and Jurong Point.

EV Mobility, KED Energy, Shell Recharge and Strides YTL each run their own at The Chevrons, the business buildings, the logistics hubs and the SAFRA clubhouse.

The practical move is to set up the app for whichever charger is the regular one before the first visit, because most of these units will not start without it.

The full list

Every public charger in Jurong East and Boon Lay with a published rate is below, cheapest first. Private and residents-only bays are left out, and the per-block chargers are grouped by operator.

Prices and availability are as of 18 June 2026 and can change, so check the live map before driving.

The upshot

For a driver in Jurong East or Boon Lay, the cheapest charge is the one nearest home: a Charge+ block at S$0.63, among the lowest block rates on the island. For a quick charge, the cheapest is the VOLT unit at the Gek Poh carpark at about S$0.59, with The Chevrons clubhouse at S$0.66 the easiest alternative.

Overnight charging is easy on most blocks and tight on only a few of the cheap ones, so the answer there is to get home early or walk to the next block. Block 212A Boon Lay Place is usually full by about 8.30pm, and the cheap Charge+ blocks on Jurong West Street 65 and 81 fill through the evening, though a looser block on the same street is rarely far.

The malls and business parks are the dear option, useful mainly when a driver is already parked there.
