Registration of EV Chargers

EV charger owners are responsible for ensuring that EV chargers are registered with LTA before they are used in Singapore. Registration ensures accountability for the proper use and maintenance of EV chargers. Allowing an unregistered EV charger to be used may constitute an offence.

After the commencement of the EVCA, new EV chargers must be type approved by LTA before they can be installed, certified, and registered with LTA.

New EV chargers that are type approved by LTA will need to be affixed with an approval label before supply, as proof of approval. Anyone looking to purchase an EV charger should ensure that it is affixed with an approval label. Otherwise, please approach your EV charger supplier for assistance. It is the supplier’s responsibility to ensure that an approval label is affixed on the EV charger before the EV charger is supplied.

EV Charger Approval Label

To check the validity of an approval label, you may enter the type approval ID indicated on the approval label (red circle in the above image) on LTA’s OneMotoring website. The relevant technical information of the EV charger will be displayed and should correspond with the EV charger that the label is affixed on. If you encounter any discrepancies in the information displayed, please inform LTA at LTA_EV_Charging@lta.gov.sg.

EV chargers must be installed (for fixed EV chargers) 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 landed dwelling houses that are not comprised within a strata title plan, which include bungalows, detached houses, semi-detached houses, and terrace houses.

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).

Existing EV chargers installed and/or in use before 8 December 2023  EV chargers installed on or after 8 December 2023
  1. Submit an application to register your EV charger at go.gov.sg/existing-ev-charger.

  2. LTA will verify whether the charger had been 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
  1. Register your EV charger at https://go.gov.sg/register-ev-charger using the type approval ID (in red circle below) found on the approval label affixed on the charger

Please contact your supplier if your EV charger does not have an approval label.

 

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, 567kB) for details on how to affix the registration mark.

De-register an EV charger

If you no longer wish to use your registered EV charger, you should consider deregistering 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 within 3 days. An application fee of $35 is applicable. The transfer is completed only when the new charger owner accepts the transfer.

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 Registration Mark

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.

A list of LEWs can be found at via EMA’s website.

RRPs can consider engaging any of the following categories of equipment specialists to carry out the inspection:

  • Engaging the equipment specialist who had certified or inspected your EV charger previously. You may refer to the Certificate of Fitness issued to you after the installation/certification of your EV charger for details of the equipment specialist;

  • Approaching your EV charger supplier for a list of equipment specialists who had certified or inspected EV chargers before 8 December 2023; or

  • Engaging a certified equipment specialist (PDF, 241 kB) who has completed the Certification Course for Electric Vehicle Charger Equipment Specialist conducted by the ITE, and has passed the associated completion test.

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

Location Qualified Personnel Required Frequency Required
Restricted Access* Equipment Specialist  Every 24 months 
Non-Restricted Access# Equipment Specialist Every 6 months
LEW Every 12 months

*Refers to landed dwelling houses that are not comprised within a strata title plan, and includes bungalows, detached houses, semi-detached houses, and terrace houses.
#Refers to all other locations besides restricted access locations

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.
