[SINGAPORE] Unlike petrol, charging rates for electric vehicles (EVs) have not spiked as a result of recent conflict in the Middle East – but observers say that could soon change as electricity prices are expected to rise in April on mounting energy costs.
A senior manager at a major charging point operator (CPO) told The Business Times: “We are watching energy prices closely, and it is quite clear that the electricity tariff is likely to increase – the question is how much.”
“If it is a small increase, we may be able to absorb some of the cost, but if it’s a large increase, then we may have no choice but to revise charging rates upward,” he added.
