It will work with private sector to expand public charging infrastructure
Singapore
HIGHER-POWERED electric motorcycles with power ratings exceeding 10 kilowatts (kW) can be registered from April for use on public roads, while all new public bus purchases going forward will be cleaner energy buses as the government pushes for the adoption of cleaner vehicles.
Electric motorcycles with a top speed of 50 kilometres per hour and above will also be allowed on expressways starting April 1. Currently, only electric motorcycles with power ratings below or equal to 10 kW are allowed on public roads in Singapore.
