SP Group to equip Ascendas-Singbridge's buildings with EV charging points

Around 24 charging points will be installed in 6 buildings.

SP Group will provide high-speed electric vehicles (EV) charging points in Ascendas Singbridge Group’s buildings through a newly-inked partnership, an announcement revealed.

As SP’s first major location partner for its EV charging network, Ascendas-Singbridge Group has kicked off the installation of 24 high-speed charging points for EVs in six of its buildings. These charging points are part of SP’s first wave of 38 charging points, including high-powered 50kW direct current (DC) chargers that can fully charge a car in 30 minutes.

“We hope to play our part in creating a more sustainable environment by being a part of Singapore’s largest public charging Electric Vehicle network of the future,” Manohar Khiatani, Deputy Group CEO of Ascendas-Singbridge Group, said.

SP had earlier revealed in 2018 that it eyes to build 1,000 charging points in Singapore by 2020. They have unveiled plans in 2018 to build Singapore’s largest and fastest public EV charging network. Through their partnership, more high-speed charging points will be installed at buildings managed by Ascendas-Singbridge Group in 2019.

EV drivers can tap on SP Group’s charging service through the SP Utilities mobile application, where they can search for the nearest charging points, receive updates on their charging sessions and make payment.

“This [partnership] provides more convenient locations for our charging services, and will accelerate the adoption of green mobility in Singapore,” Wong Kim Yin, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group commented.

The newly installed charging points are located in the properties owned by Ascendas-Singbridge Group in 80 Bendemeer Road (Hyflux Innovation Centre), Corporation Place, Techlink, Techplace I, The Capricorn and The Kendall. According to an announcement, the charging points progressively started their operations since December 2018.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
