But, adoption of clear power varieties of large vehicles has been slower, said Mr Wong.
The state will also offer an energy large car charger grant and a fresh Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme. He claimed that these initiatives will support co-funding of the charging system and the order of clear, heavy vehicles.
During the Committee of Supply discussion, the Ministry of Transport will provide more information about the plans.
Additionally, Mr. Wong made the announcement that the authorities would start levying road tax on electric vehicles and cars with the Additional Flat Component ( AFC) of AFC.
The AFC will be set at S$ 250 per year for electric heavy goods vehicles, and$ 190 and$ 550 per year for electric minibuses and large buses, respectively. Starting in January of next year, it will be phased in over three decades until it is entirely implemented by January 2028.
