Factors such as government initiatives and support to the practical issues of average driving mileages will be explored. The hypothesis is that there are 2 main reasons for the slow uptake of EV. The high prices of the EVs in Singapore and the limited driving range of EVs.
The paper will have a qualitative review of various industry reports and case studies. It is followed by a quantitative ranking of selections of the types and applications of EVs suitable in Singapore. The rankings will help to highlight the suitable EV and application/s in Singapore in current conditions.
