Singapore EV Charging Price Index, October 2026: Lowest Listed Rates and the Cheapest You Can Use

SINGAPORE: As of 16 October 2026, the lowest rate listed for any electric vehicle (EV) charger in Singapore is S$0.34 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), at the Schneider Electric Building on Kallang Avenue, but those chargers are for the staff who work there, not the public.

The cheapest charger confirmed open to the public is S$0.43 per kWh, on a 7.4kW alternating-current (AC) point run by Eneready at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduates' Guild on Dover Road (postal code 139658).

For direct-current (DC) charging, the lowest rate on the revolt.sg charger map is S$0.39 per kWh, on a 30kW unit at Millage on Changi Road, which the map marks "Possibly restricted" because visitor access is not confirmed.

The cheapest fast DC charger (50kW or more) confirmed open to the public is S$0.50 per kWh, on a 180kW ultra-fast unit at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduates' Guild on Dover Road.

Place	Operator	Rate
1. Schneider Electric Building (postal code 339505) Restricted access: staff only	MNL AC, 22kW	S$0.34
2. Millage (postal code 419709) Possibly restricted: visitor access not confirmed	Wes Cares Energy DC, 30kW	S$0.39

The cheapest public charge

The Graduates' Guild is a clubhouse. But its car park is open to non-members, who pay for parking on top of the charge.

The Guild's parking charges are also shown on its card in the revolt.sg charger map.

The Guild's AC point is slow. At 7.4kW, a useful charge there takes most of an evening.

One public rate is lower: S$0.42 per kWh, at a 40kW DC unit in the Tan Chong Tower car park on Queen Street. But it is a single unit in an office car park, and it is not clear whether a visitor can use it, so the charger map marks it "Possibly restricted".

Every rate below those two belongs to a car park that is restricted or whose access is unclear.

IKEA's Alexandra and Tampines stores both charge S$0.45 per kWh for AC charging run by Charge+: 22kW points at Alexandra, 22kW at Tampines.

A 48kWh top-up is about 300km of driving for a typical EV. At S$0.43, it costs around S$21, while the same charge at the islandwide median AC rate of S$0.70 costs about S$33.

A petrol car would use about S$84 of fuel over the same 300km, at about 8 litres per 100km and around S$3.50 a litre, the same figures used in June.

That is about four times the cost of the cheapest confirmed public charge, and about two and a half times the cost at the median rate.

Over a year of 300km a month, charging at the islandwide median AC rate costs about S$600 less than petrol, and about S$750 less at the cheapest confirmed public rate.

What public charging costs

Public chargers fall into three speed bands, plus a mixed group of odd sizes.

Price generally rises with power, but there is one exception.

Slow AC (up to 22kW) is the cheapest tier, and the one drivers use overnight or while the car is parked for hours. The median public rate is S$0.70 per kWh, and the cheapest public points run from about S$0.43 to S$0.55.

Slow AC prices are closely bunched, and about 90 per cent of public slow AC points are priced at S$0.70 or less. The highest is S$0.82.

Fast DC (50kW to 150kW) costs more. The median public rate is S$0.81 per kWh, and public rates run from S$0.50 to S$0.89.

Ultra-fast DC (above 150kW) is the exception, with a median public rate of about S$0.79, below the fast DC median.

Only 160 ultra-fast points are in this index. The highest rate among them is S$0.91.

The biggest ultra-fast hubs charge well under the fast DC median.

Great World City, where Great Charge runs points up to 480kW, and Pasir Ris Mall, at 180kW, both charge S$0.60. The Sinopec station at Pasir Ris, a 150kW site, charges the same.

About 870 public points fall outside those three bands: 3.7kW sockets, the 43kW AC connectors on petrol-station chargers, and small 24kW to 40kW DC units. Their median is S$0.70 as well. The S$0.42 unit at Tan Chong Tower is one of them.

Charging speed	Median public rate	Cheapest public	Highest public rate
AC (up to 22kW)	S$0.70	S$0.43	S$0.82
Fast DC (50–150kW)	S$0.81	S$0.50	S$0.89
Ultra-fast DC (above 150kW)	S$0.79	S$0.50	S$0.91
Other (3.7kW, 43kW AC, 24–40kW DC)	S$0.70	S$0.42	S$0.89

The cheapest chargers by region, public and labelled

Each table lists the five cheapest public sites in one part of the island: one table for slower AC charging, one for faster DC.

Several of the entries are single-charger sites.

A charger is grouped by where it stands, so a site can fall under a different region from the one its address suggests.

HDB car parks, the city centre and the South

Cheap public AC charging is mostly at malls, clubhouses, office towers and industrial estates, where a driver is usually paying to park as well.

The revolt.sg charger map shows parking charges for many of these car parks.

Charging at Housing and Development Board (HDB) car parks costs more, at about S$0.65 on Charge+ and just under S$0.70 on SP Mobility, the largest network.

The cheapest slow charging in the Central Business District (postal districts 1 and 2) is S$0.46, on the Charge+ points at One Raffles Quay. A driver there usually pays for parking on top of the electricity, and on a short top-up the parking can cost more than the charge. The revolt.sg charger map shows parking charges for many car parks.

The South is the smallest region, with 91 public sites.

Among public sites, fast charging starts higher in the South than in any other region. The cheapest point of 50kW or more is S$0.75 in the South and between S$0.50 and S$0.60 in the other four regions.

What the most expensive charging costs

The most expensive public charging on the island is S$0.91 per kWh, at the top of the ultra-fast DC band. A 48kWh top-up at that rate costs about S$44, against about S$21 at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduates' Guild.

A driver pays for speed on fast DC, where the median is S$0.81, against S$0.70 for slow AC.

The state of the network

Singapore now has about 2,700 public charging locations and 10,900 public charging points, run by 26 operators.

Including the sites where the charger map shows an access label, there are 2,797 locations and 11,416 points from 29 operators.

Five operators run about 10,000 of those 11,416 points: SP Mobility, Charge+, ComfortDelGro ENGIE, Shell Recharge and Strides YTL.

Between them, these five operators set the rate at most of the car parks a driver is likely to use.

About 90 per cent of public charging points are AC, and the more expensive DC chargers make up the rest.
