Porsche, SP Group tie up to launch 3 new EV charging sites

PORSCHE Asia Pacific is partnering utility group SP Group to expand the sports car maker's charging network in Singapore for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EV) and battery EVs.

As part of the tie-up, Porsche and SP Group will launch 3 new Porsche destination charging (PDC) network sites at Gardens by the Bay, South Beach and Sembawang Country Club by January 2022. The move adds 15 new charging points to the PDC network, Porsche and SP Group said in a joint press statement on Wednesday (Dec 1).

Both parties have also partnered property developer City Developments Limited (CDL) to expand EV charging infrastructure at 4 CDL properties - City Square Mall, King's Centre, Palais Renaissance and Quayside Isle, adding another 15 charging points to the PDC network.

Porsche aims to have 51 charging stations islandwide by mid-2022. At present, SP Group runs 10 PDC charging points at ONE15 Marina Sentosa Cove and Jewel Changi Airport.

The PDC network is open to all EV drivers, but owners of Porsche plug-in EVs and battery EVs have additional benefits.

SP Group operates over 450 charging points across more than 100 locations, including shopping malls, commercial buildings, business parks, industrial sites, residential and attractions islandwide.
