RECENT tweaks to two clean-vehicle schemes show Singapore’s commitment to electric vehicles (EVs) – but possibly at the expense of hybrids, pointed out industry players.
Authorities said last Friday (Sep 20) that the EV Early Adoption Initiative (EEAI) will be extended past its end-2024 expiry for another year, till end-2025.
Under the EEAI, buyers of electric cars and taxis get a 45 per cent discount – capped at S$15,000 – on the Additional Registration Fee. Introduced in 2021 for two years with a cap of S$20,000, the initiative was then extended to end-2024 with a lower cap of S$15,000.
