New rule allows EV to park under Cat A up to 110KW which is meant for cat B to allow more mass market models.

But LTA missed the forest for the tree.  The main obstacle is the TOTAL cost of owning EV.  Unless EV car price is on a par with ICE, the response from car owners is anything but.  Presently, even with $25k rebate, the price is still higher by $50k on average as compared with ICE.  Moreover, your road tax is higher than ICE plus your PARF is only maximum $5k when you scrap.  After 5 years, your EV battery must change and cost more than $5k

After 5 yrs? You think duracell ah? New EV batts are good for 10-20yrs before requiring replacement. They might degrade slightly over time, but will still be good to use.

If you save $400 a month on fuel, 10 years can save $50k at $3 a litre of day light  robbery petrol prices. Lol
