The first 12 in this new roll-out were officially launched at SingHealth Tower at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) Campus on July 12. They are operated by utilities company SP Group.

“We are proud to be taking significant steps towards creating a greener and more sustainable future with the installation of EV chargers on our hospital campuses,” said Mr Tan Jack Thian, SingHealth group chief operating officer.

“As our health and that of the planet are closely related, SingHealth’s partnership with SP Group and continued commitment to other sustainable practices... will in turn promote the well-being of our community and staff in the long run,” he said.

The chargers, which may be used by the public and staff, are located on levels B3 and B4 at the SingHealth Tower carpark. It costs 65.4 cents per kilowatt-hour to use them, similar to what SP charges for the service at Housing Board carparks.
