Electric car-sharing service BlueSG unveils 100th charging station

The strong figures came 10 months after its debut.

Singapore’s first large-scale electric vehicle car-sharing service BlueSG has drawn over 17,000 members and 70,000 rentals in the short span of ten months after its debut, according to a media release.

BlueSG has grown its fleet from a mere 80 BlueCars and 32 BlueSG charging stations in December to a current portfolio of 230 Bluecars and 100 BlueSG charging stations that offers 393 charging points across the island.

In response to the positive market response, the electric vehicle car-sharing service also unveiled its 100th charging station at 1 Cantonment Road, The Pinnacle @ Duxton where it will offer one-hour free rental to its Premium members who drove more than 100 minutes between 3 to 12 October 2018.

“With 100 stations, in almost every town island-wide, BlueSG is a convenient and competitive commuting option in complement of the existing public transport network,” Franck Vitté, Managing Director, BlueSG said in a statement. “Moving forward, this will contribute to car-lite Singapore for the benefit of the environment.”

Sembcorp Power will supply the electricity for BlueSG’s charging stations.

BlueSG aims to roll out a 1,000-strong electric vehicle fleet and 2,000 charging points by 2020.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
