Bosh eMobility has been picked to design, develop, deploy, operate and maintain Singapore’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, which also includes a software-based service platform.
Singapore Island is Perfect for Electric Vehicles
The initial $20 million program will be scaled up over time to match the delivery rate of EVs in Singapore The German technology and services giant plans to partner with SingTel for the communications interface, and Greenlots for the charging network.
Even though Bosch will be rolling out the initial charging infrastructure for Singapore other players are not restricted from setting up their own commercial EV charging stations or competing with Bosch EV chargers.
Bosh eMobility integrated EV Charging station network
Bosch will initially build 25 stations which will charge a vehicle fully within eight hours. There will also be a quick charging station which gives a full charge in 45 minutes.
Singapore is well suited for EV deployment due to it being an island nation, which translates to limited range-anxiety having relatively short driving distances and thus never being far from a EV charging station even if they are few in number.
