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 72 Housing and Development Board (HDB) blocks in the two towns, at a flat S$0.65 per kilowatt-hour (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, costing up to 38 per cent more.

Fast charging costs more and is scattered, though one public charger sits close to the block rate, in a Gek Poh carpark.

The overnight squeeze, where there is one, falls on a few 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 72 blocks in both towns, at a flat S$0.65 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 few chargers go lower still on slow charging, the MNL Solutions unit at the Toh Guan Centre and a 7.4kW charger at StorHub Jurong East, both at S$0.55, and VOLT's 20 at Perennial Business City at S$0.63, but they 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$0.69 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 Charge+ fast chargers at two housing blocks and VOLT's at JEM, all at S$0.75.

On a 40kWh top-up that is about S$28 at the Gek Poh charger and S$26 at a Charge+ block, against about S$36 at the most expensive 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.

More than a third 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: a handful fill to the last socket while the blocks next door stay open.

Block 212A Boon Lay Place, a Charge+ block with four sockets, is usually down to its last one after about 10pm on a weeknight.

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$0.65, keeps sockets open all night.

Block 657 Jurong West Street 65 fills hardest, with none left by about 10pm on a weeknight, a little later 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 7pm on a weeknight and earlier on a Saturday, while Block 216 Boon Lay Avenue is near full by about 8pm either day.

When they do, the Charge+ block at 650 Jurong West Street 61, cheaper at S$0.65, 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, some of the paid fast chargers sit near-empty in the evenings: the Gek Poh carpark, the Jurong West Sports and Recreation Centre and the SAFRA Jurong clubhouse all keep open bays after dark.

When speed matters: fast, and where to find it

The quick charging is more expensive 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$0.69, then VOLT's units at JEM, at S$0.75.

Charge+ runs 120kW chargers at two housing blocks, on Boon Lay Place and Jurong East Street 24, both at S$0.75 per kWh.

KED Energy covers a business building at S$0.78, on its fast chargers at the Enterprise Hub on Toh Guan Road East. The SAFRA Jurong clubhouse has a 60kW Strides YTL unit at S$0.77.

The most expensive fast charging is at the malls and the logistics estates, at S$0.86 to S$0.89 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 little of it is cheap.

IMM and Westgate, the two malls at the Jurong East hub, run SP Mobility chargers at S$0.81 per kWh on alternating current and S$0.89 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, at S$0.67 per kWh on alternating current and S$0.75 on JEM's 30kW fast units.

Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, on Jurong East Street 21, runs SP Mobility chargers at S$0.75 on alternating current and S$0.84 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$0.65, and the two fast 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 Gek Poh fast charger and the mall units at JEM and Jurong Point.

KED Energy, Shell Recharge and Strides YTL each run their own at 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 that shows a 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 16 October 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$0.65, 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$0.69, with the ComfortDelGro ENGIE units at Teban Gardens and The JTC Summit, at S$0.76, the easiest alternative.

Overnight charging is easy on most blocks and tight on only a few, so the answer there is to get home early or walk to the next block. Block 212A Boon Lay Place is usually down to its last socket by about 10pm, 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.
