SINGAPORE'S first large-scale electric-car sharing programme officially rolled out on Tuesday, with 80 hatchbacks and 32 charging stations offering some 120 charging points available for public use.

It is the first step of a plan to put 1,000 of such zero-emission cars on the roads for public use, along with 2,000 charging points, by 2020. This puts it on track to be the second-largest electric-car sharing programme in the world.
