Shell's Greenlots is in more than 50 condo (easily 100 chargers), IIRC, and they are building more DC chargers at various petrol stations (current:10). 

Easily 300 in Singapore. 

Pointless to built AC charger.

We need DC Charger

I think for battery longevity in the long run, slow charge is preferable over DC fast charge.

and much smaller and probably cheaper since it uses the ac-dc converter in the car...

If you can charge while sleeping/working in office, can go slower...

Doesn't matter. Just park at home and charge overnight, perhaps once a week.

I don't believe waiting 30 mins for the car to be fully charged at a service station will work, I won't buy an EV if I don't have a charging point at home. I agree with Lala on this point.

I punched some numbers in the calculator to see how many chargers need to be installed and this is what I came up with:

SG Car Population: 500,000

Assume average charging frequency of once every 3 days

Assume each charging point has 2 ports and can charge 4 cars (2 in the day time and 2 overnight) = 500,000 cars / 3 days / 4 cars per charge point = 41,666 charge points needed by 2040.

41,666 charge points by 2040 (20 years) means: 41,666 points / 20 years / 365 days = 5.7 charging points

Thus, 5.7 charging points need to be installed, starting from now, every day of the year, for the next 20 years, to meet the infrastructural needs to support an all EV car environment. 

Hope my calculations did not miss anything. Its interesting though.

 

you need to exclude ten of thousands of cars owned by landed property owners. also the buses, company vans, lorries, etc which will not likely to use public charges.

Airbus going to invest in hydrogen powered planes. If airbus hydrogen powered planes proved to be successful.. It could be a game changer as more users will feel hey hydrogen fuel cells car can also be successful in the market too. So let's see whether hydrogen fuel cell cars will start to take off in next 10 yrs. 

Hope won't be like this:

Sg vehicular population is closer to 1M. Less commercial, buses, motorcycles, then somewhere between 500k and 1M. 500k is on the low side. 

Landed less another 100k cars (assuming each of the 70k landed homes has about 1.5 cars average).

Yes, you like the vibration from the chassis to caress your ass plus the slutty moaning from the ICE to make you cum while taking that corner.  

I think if don't change to EV, will kanna jiat and horn at by EV on the road all the time.

Yes thanks, in my post I mentioned SG Car population. I am assuming commercial vehicles and buses will continue on fossil fuels.

you can just walk into their showroom and ask for a test drive.
