SINGAPORE: Singapore's largest car-sharing platform Tribecar and regional electric vehicle charging operator Charge+ are working together to spur the growth of electric cars in the republic.
Charge+ is on track to grow its EV charging network to 1,000 charging points by the end of 2022. This rollout includes fast chargers, which at a power rating of 120kW, are the fastest public charging network in Singapore.
In addition, Charge+ is the only EV charging company in Singapore today that has comprehensive EV charging operations across public housing, condominiums, shopping malls and office buildings. This pervasiveness brings added convenience to Tribecar users and eliminates range anxiety arising from renting an EV.
Present to announce the partnership were Tribecar co-founder Adrian Lee and Charge+ CEO Goh Chee Kiong.
Tribecar members are expected to enjoy attractive charging rates from Charge+. In addition, Tribecar's EVs in mileage-based categories will be deployed next to Charge+ charging points located in the carparks of many public housing towns. This allows for the ease of charging the vehicles when the vehicle is not on the move.
The cooperation will also see Tribecar promoting the use of Charge+ charging points to its users.
An immediate benefit of an electric fleet for Tribecar users is that they get to enjoy savings on energy costs.
As compared to an ICE vehicle, they get to save at least 50% per km in fuel costs when they opt to pay for their own fuel.
With Charge+, Tribecar hopes to promote the ease of using an EV charging point, right in the middle of the heartlands where their vehicles have always been deployed.
Tribecar and Charge+ apps are available for download via the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
