    [SINGAPORE] Registrations of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in Singapore in the first half of 2025 more than doubled year on year.

    There were 215 PHEVs registered, compared with 96 in H1 2024. The latest figure also exceeds the full-year total of 210 registrations in 2024.

    This growth has been driven by more mass-market brands offering PHEVs at prices competitive with those of fully electric vehicles (EVs).
