Yeo Wan Ling on Electric Vehicles Charging Bill
Should it be first-come-first-served or should it be who needs to charge the electric vehicles (EVs) more urgently? MP Yeo Wan Ling posed this question in Parliament on Wednesday (Nov 30) as she stressed the need to promote a good EV charging culture. She said until the day when EV charging points are truly ubiquitous, it will be a situation where there are more EVs needing to be charged than charging points available. There will certainly be a transitional period needed for the dust to settle on sharing norms, she said. She proposed offering special decals for certain vehicles, setting aside charging points for certain vehicles within clear timeframes and allowing corporations to install their own charging points for their employees, partners and members. What is clear is the need for awareness, education and even public campaigns on the considerations of various driver communities and sharing norms, she said. She stressed the importance of an inclusive and considered rollout and implementation that takes into account diverse needs.Â
