Walter Theseira: 作为一名电动汽车车主,我认为充电基础设施是否足够取决于个人使用情况。如果你的住处、工作场所和常去的商场都有充电设施,那么充电就不是问题。然而,我也了解到有些车主因为没有充电设施而感到不便。目前的问题在于充电站的优化,而不是充电站的可用性。政府在第一阶段的目标是让所有居民都能方便地使用充电桩,但现在需要优化充电桩的分布,以满足不同区域的需求。 Stephanie Tan: 目前新加坡有近 2 万个充电桩,3 万多辆电动汽车,从整体来看是足够的。但我也同意,对于某些个人来说,可能存在挑战。政府承诺到今年年底,所有 HDB 居民都可以使用充电桩。我们正在追踪充电桩的使用情况,并计划根据电动汽车的普及程度来增加充电桩的数量。许多停车场没有足够的电力容量,政府正在招标以升级这些停车场的充电基础设施。
