⏳ Getting the chargers…
Every public EV charger in Singapore is registered with LTA, and each company tells LTA, connector by connector, whether it’s free, in use or out of order. LTA puts the list on DataMall; carma.sg reads it every 5 minutes, and this page fetches carma’s copy when it opens and every 2 minutes while you’re looking at it.
AC chargers are the slow ones, mostly 7 to 22 kW, for when the car is parked a few hours anyway: at home, at work, at the mall. The car’s own charger sets the pace on AC, and many take only 7 or 11 kW, so a 22 kW charger won’t always go faster. A few AC chargers go up to 43 kW for the cars that can take it.
Fast DC chargers go straight to the battery, mostly 50 to 180 kW and a few more. Most cars go from 20% to 80% in under an hour; after about 80% the car slows the charging down, so a fast charger is for a top-up, not to fill up.
LTA’s charging standard, TR 25, says public chargers have a Type 2 plug for AC and a CCS2 (Combo 2: a Type 2 with two big pins under it) for fast DC. Almost every EV sold here takes both. CHAdeMO, the Japanese fast plug of the early Nissan Leaf, is allowed as an extra, and only a couple of places still have one.
Each company sets its own price a kWh, with GST, and tells LTA; “from” is the lowest at that place. Right now the middle price is S$0.70 a kWh at AC chargers and S$0.78 at fast DC ones. On top of that:
The chargers, their status and prices: LTA DataMall’s EV charging points, via carma.sg. The plugs: LTA’s national EV charging standard, TR 25:2022, and CHAdeMO as an extra. The home tariff: SP Group, for 1 October to 31 December 2026. Checked 2 November 2026.
At public chargers, each company sets its own price: the middle price now is about S$0.70 a kWh at AC chargers and S$0.78 at fast DC chargers, with GST, and parking is extra at most of them. At home it’s SP Group’s household tariff, 31.16 cents a kWh with GST from October to December 2026. So taking a 60 kWh battery from 20% to 80% (36 kWh) costs about S$25.02 on AC, S$28.08 on fast DC, or S$11.22 at home.
Tap 📍 Near me on this page: it finds the 10 nearest public chargers, with how many are free now, how fast they are and the price, and a link for directions. Your location stays in your browser. Or search a mall, street, town or postal code, and pick Fast DC for only the fast ones.
Type 2 for AC charging and CCS2 (Combo 2) for fast DC charging, on almost every public charger: they’re LTA’s standard. A couple of older chargers also have CHAdeMO, for cars like the early Nissan Leaf.
It’s the energy over the power. Taking a 60 kWh battery from 20% to 80% (36 kWh) takes about 5 hours on a 7 kW AC charger, 3¼ hours at 11 kW, and around 1¾ hours at 22 kW if the car can take it. On a 50 kW fast charger it’s about 45 minutes, and on 100 kW or more about half an hour, as the car slows the charging as it fills. Past 80% it’s much slower, so most people stop there on a fast charger.
The status is what the charger’s company reports to LTA, and the list here is a few minutes behind. A charger can also look free when a car that isn’t charging is parked in its lot, or when it’s broken and not reporting so. Check the company’s app before you drive there.
No. 📍 Near me asks your browser where you are only when you tap it, and the distances are worked out in this page. Your location isn’t sent to carma.sg, to us or anyone else, and isn’t put in the page’s address. What you type in the search box goes into the address (?q=), so you can share it.
