Fixed EV chargers must be installed and certified as fit for charging EVs according to requirements under the EVCA, before they can be registered with LTA. The Certificate of Fitness issued after the installation and certification of an EV charger will need to be provided during the subsequent registration of the EV charger with LTA.

EV chargers can only be installed and/or used in certain locations depending on their class of approval and EV connector type. For instance, a non-fixed charger is only allowed to be used in a restricted access location ^[1].

Please refer to the section on Installation and Certification of EV Chargers for more information before purchasing or registering your charger.

^[1] Restricted access location refers to any parking space or location that is within, or contiguous to a landed dwelling-house (i.e. detached, semi-detached, terrace, linked house, strata title^* cluster house or townhouse) and forms part of the same property ownership.

^*Charger owners of strata title landed dwelling-houses are required to submit the details of their EV chargers. LTA will review the information and notify charger owners if their charger location is classified as “restricted access”. For more information, please refer to the circular.

All EV chargers units (including any unit meant to replace an existing charger unit) must be registered with LTA before they can be used, and must be affixed with a registration mark within 60 days from the date of registration. You must inform LTA when you transfer, relocate, or deregister your EV charger(s).

You may register your EV charger through one of the following two options:

EV chargers installed and/or in use before 8 December 2023 may not have an approval label affixed. You may submit an application to register a charger . LTA will verify whether the charger had been previously issued with a Letter of No Objection (LNO). LTA will inform you of the outcome and will issue a provisional ID for you to proceed to register the EV charger, if it has been successfully verified. Otherwise, you will be required to replace the EV charger for safety reasons.

Upon successful registration, EV charger owners (or Registered Responsible Persons (RRPs) will be issued with a registration mark (image below) which must be affixed onto the EV charger within 60 days, as proof of registration. Please refer to section 2.1 of the Guidelines for the Registration of EV Chargers (PDF, 570kB) for details on how to affix the registration mark.

Sample registration mark

To support early EV charger deployment, the Government previously announced time-bound registration fee subsidies until 31 December 2025. EV charger registration fees will remain unchanged until 31 March 2027 to provide continued support for the development of Singapore’s EV charging infrastructure. The Government will review the fees in due course.

De-register an EV charger

If you no longer wish to use your registered EV charger, you should deregister it; so that you do not need to conduct periodic inspections for the charger. There is no fee involved.   

Transfer the registration of an EV charger to another person

If you wish to sell your charger or transfer the registration to another person, please apply to transfer the registration of the charger.

If there is a change to the particulars of the Registered Responsible Person of the registered EV charger (e.g. where an EV charger has been sold), you must transfer the registration to the new charger owner. An application fee of $35 is applicable, which is to be paid by the transferor. The transfer is completed only when the new charger owner accepts the transfer within 14 days, otherwise, the application will lapse.

Relocate an EV charger

You must inform LTA of any change in location, or relocation, of your EV charger upon installation of the charger at the new location. An application fee of $35 is applicable.

EV charger owners, or Registered Responsible Persons (RRPs), must ensure that EV chargers are periodically inspected and maintained by qualified personnel. Inspection frequencies vary depending on where the EV chargers are installed (for fixed EV chargers) and/or used. Similar to installation and certification of EV chargers, periodic inspection and maintenance of EV chargers must be carried out by LEWs and charger equipment specialists.

RRPs can engage any LEW licensed by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and any certified equipment specialist to carry out the inspection. For more information, refer to the list of certified equipment specialists (PDF, 312kB).

The frequency of inspection and maintenance required under the EVCA are as follows:

^*Refers to any parking space or location that is within, or contiguous to a landed dwelling-house (i.e. detached, semi-detached, terrace, linked house, strata title cluster house or townhouse) and forms part of the same property ownership.
^**Refers to all other locations besides restricted access locations.

Charger owners of strata title landed dwelling-houses are required to submit the details of their EV chargers. LTA will review the information and notify charger owners if their charger location is classified as “restricted access”. For more information, please refer to the circular.

EV charger owners must retain the Certificates of Fitness (issued after the first certification of an EV charger) and subsequent Certificates of Continued Fitness (issued after every periodic inspection of the EV charger) for at least 2 years from the date of the certificates and will be required to submit these to LTA upon request. Failure to ensure that EV chargers have been periodically inspected and maintained may constitute an offence.
