EV Association of Singapore
We are a group of like-minded individuals and businesses who strongly believe that Electric Vehicles (EVs) are the future of transportation, and the mass adoption of electric mobility will be crucial for Singapore's journey towards a low carbon future.
Founded in 2018, the Electric Vehicle Association of Singapore (EVAS) is established as a not-for-profit organization that will comprehensively represent the EV industry, and be the leading advocate for electric mobility.

EVAS E-Mobility Survey
Annual Survey
Each year, EVAS conducts a pulse-check on the demand for E-mobility in Singapore via surveys on the general public, potential owners and EV owners. Our last survey exercise was conducted between October 2021 and January 2022 and received more than 1,000 responses.
Survey Outcomes
From these responses, EVAS have summarised highlight several key findings which may be useful for policy makers, government agencies, industry groups, businesses, institutions and individuals in promoting EV adoption in SG over the next few years.

Our Mission
To increase the adoption of Electric Vehicles in Singapore through promotion, knowledge sharing and partnerships
Promote
To promote awareness of Electric Vehicles (EVs) to the general public, and to encourage its adoption amongst private vehicle owners and business communities in Singapore.
Platform
To create a platform for knowledge exchange and/or collaboration between individuals, businesses and institutions for all EV-related issues like standardisation, research & development, manufacturing and business capabilities.
Partner
To partner with government agencies in the creation, implementation and review of legislations, policies and/or roadmaps that will promote the use of EVs in Singapore.
Corporate Partners and Membership
EVAS will be a leading platform for knowledge exchange for diverse stakeholders like automakers, utilities and building owners. A strong working relationship with major corporate partners ensures that industry perspectives can be adequately represented to policymakers and government agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the reasons for setting up EVAS?
Why do we need to promote the usage of EVs?
EVs are superior to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in terms of technology, sustainability, and operational costing. With rapid advancement and cost reductions in battery manufacturing technology , it is also very likely that EVs will become cheaper to manufacture than ICE vehicles within the next ten years.
A summarised list of advantages that EVs have over ICE vehicles is as follows:
However, unlike ICE vehicles, EVs require adequate charging infrastructure to be in place before they can be adopted in greater numbers. This requirement will be even more crucial as EVs are evolving from a small, niche segment towards a broader, mass-market acceptance. Charging infrastructure must be future-proofed to prevent unregulated EV charging which may cause electrical grid congestion and overloading.
An association is hence necessary to engage a diverse group of stakeholders like automakers, building owners, utility companies and charging hardware manufacturers to accelerate the deployment of a nation-wide charging infrastructure.
Why do we need to create a platform for knowledge exchange?
As EV technology is rapidly evolving, the charging infrastructure industry requires safety standardisation to ensure that all EV charging are conducted in a safe & regulated manner. Having a centralised body to promote standardisations & compliance is paramount, especially during the nascent growth of this new sector.
EVAS may also act as a resource centre for EV-related companies to collaborate and form consumer-centric partnerships. An example is in the creation of interoperable EV charging networks that benefit end-users as they are able to charge at any station by being subscribed to a single charging network; instead of being subscribed to multiple networks.
We will also need to raise the awareness of plug-in EVs amongst the general population, and to educate the public on the benefits of driving electric (e.g. VES rebates, fuel savings), the potential pitfalls (e.g. range anxiety, unsuspecting pedestrians, EV charging etiquette), as well as the processes involved to switch over to electric vehicles.
How can EVAS engage the government with respect to its policies?
Having a strong corporate representation from relevant stakeholders (e.g. automakers, building owners, utility companies, charging hardware manufacturers, EV-related companies) will ensure that EVAS is able to provide the SG government with key recommendations on policies.
For example, EVAS will solicit for individual and industry feedback with regards to the new Vehicle Emissions Scheme (VES), grid factor calculation, TR-25 standards for EV chargers, EV car-sharing scheme, BCA Green Mark requirements, etc.
What are the incentives to join as an individual?
All EV owners or active EV users in Singapore are highly encouraged to join because EVAS will ensure that the views & concerns of all members are adequately represented to government agencies. EV-related networking events, technology forums and public exhibitions may be conducted from time to time. Individual members will get preferential rates for these events as compared to non-members.
What are the incentives for corporations to join as members?
EVAS will ensure that the views & concerns of all members are adequately represented to government agencies. Being a non-profit and non-partisan organisation, EVAS is well-positioned to ensure that highlighted issues are not solely to the benefit of a few corporations, but to the entire industry as a whole.
Corporations will also get the opportunity to participate in business networking events, technology forums and public exhibitions at preferential rates as compared to non-members.
How and when was EVAS set up?
EVAS was formally registered with the Ministry of Home Affairs Registry of Societies (ROS) in October 2017. There are currently 10 Individual members, including the 4 office bearers (President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer).
The first AGM will be conducted by March 2018 in order to formally ratify the Constitution. Corporate members will be solicited starting from April 2018. Please refer to the draft Constitution above for more details.
