TotalEnergies Charging Services Singapore is shutting down its electric vehicle (EV) charging operation here, with all its charging points set to be transferred to other operators by the end of 2025.

This is the first major EV charging service operator to withdraw from the Singapore market since the law governing EV charging came into force in December 2023.

TotalEnergies told The Straits Times on Nov 27 that it had signed a termination agreement to transfer its network of charging points to the Land Transport Authority (LTA). These charging points will be transferred progressively to other LTA-designated operators by Dec 31, the company added.

It said the decision was taken after electric car-sharing service BlueSG announced in August that it was pausing its business.
