Singapore's electric vehicle market is undergoing a structural transformation, with EVs accounting for a record 45.1% of all new car registrations in 2025, officially overtaking petrol-electric hybrids for the first time, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The total car population reached 659,889 vehicles by end-2025, with battery electric vehicles representing 7.4% of the fleet. The acceleration is anchored in the Singapore Green Plan 2030, which mandates that all new car registrations from 2030 must be cleaner-energy models, with a complete phase-out of internal combustion engines targeted by 2040.
A key growth catalyst has been the extension of the EV Early Adoption Incentive (EEAI) and the revised Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES), confirmed by the LTA and National Environment Agency (NEA) in September 2025. From 2026, only fully electric cars will qualify for VES rebates, while hybrids will lose their preferential treatment. EV buyers in 2026 can still receive combined cost savings of up to S$30,000, sustaining demand momentum. The introduction of the Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme (HVZES) from 1 January 2026, offering S$40,000 per qualifying zero-tailpipe heavy vehicle, is also expected to deepen commercial fleet electrification.
Battery electric vehicles have decisively shifted from niche to mainstream in Singapore, with EVs reaching a record 53% share of new car registrations in October 2025 according to the Land Transport Authority. This is the first time fully electric models have exceeded half of new monthly registrations, marking the maturation of the Singapore Electric Vehicle Market. The shift is supported by competitive pricing from Chinese OEMs, expanded charging access, the regulatory phase-out of new diesel cars from 2025, and tightening fiscal incentives that increasingly favour zero-tailpipe vehicles over hybrid alternatives.
In September 2025, LTA and the National Environment Agency announced the extension of the EV Early Adoption Incentive and the Vehicular Emissions Scheme until 31 December 2026, but with a halved EEAI cap of S$7,500 and the removal of hybrid vehicle eligibility from 2026. The reform represents a deliberate pivot from broad cleaner-energy support to fully electric drivetrain prioritisation. Combined cost savings of up to S$30,000 in 2026 and S$20,000 in 2027 will sustain near-term demand, while the S$0 Additional Registration Fee floor for electric cars and taxis is preserved through end-2027.
In March 2025, LTA announced the Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme (HVZES) as part of Committee of Supply 2025, taking effect from 1 January 2026. The scheme provides S$40,000 per qualifying zero-tailpipe heavy goods vehicle or bus, disbursed in three tranches over two years. LTA also launched the Electric Heavy Vehicle Charger Grant, co-funding up to 50% of installation costs (capped at S$30,000 per charger) for the first 500 private heavy vehicle chargers from 2026. The Singapore Electric Vehicle Market growth in commercial segments is supported by these targeted financial measures, complemented by 35% year-on-year growth in electric light goods vehicles to 5,777 units by October 2025.
As of December 2025, more than 90% of all HDB carparks in Singapore have been fitted with EV charging points, according to the Ministry of Transport. By late September 2025, total registered charging points exceeded 15,300, including approximately 7,100 publicly accessible units. The government remains on track toward its target of 60,000 charging points by 2030, comprising 40,000 in public car parks and 20,000 in private premises. The Sengkang West Bus Depot, Singapore's first multi-storey bus depot, was equipped with 240 high-powered chargers each providing up to 360 kW, capable of fully charging a single-deck electric bus in under 1.5 hours.

Petrol-electric hybrids accounted for 18.4% of the total car fleet at end-2025 but are expected to lose momentum from 2026 as VES rebates are restricted exclusively to fully electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrids retain a niche following, particularly among drivers crossing into Malaysia, with BYD launching its first PHEV in Singapore, the Sealion 6 DM-i, in July 2025. Fuel cell electric vehicles remain in exploratory phase, with Hyundai's hydrogen memorandum of understanding with the Economic Development Board laying foundational groundwork.
Market Breakup by Speed
Key Insights: Vehicles with top speeds below 150 mph dominate the Singapore Electric Vehicle Market, reflecting both the city-state's highway speed limit of 90 km/h (approximately 56 mph) and the entry of mass-market Cat A COE-eligible models such as the BYD Atto 3, BYD Seal 6, MG4, and Hyundai Ioniq 5. The BYD Seal 6 launched in October 2025 with 0-100 km/h acceleration of 10.9 seconds, prioritising efficiency over speed. The above-150 mph category remains relevant for premium and luxury performance EVs from Tesla, Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, catering to high-net-worth households which have grown nearly 20% in 2024 with monthly incomes exceeding S$20,000.
Market Breakup by Vehicle Drive
Key Insights: Rear wheel drive configurations have become increasingly popular in the Singapore EV market with the success of models like the BYD Seal 6, BYD Seal Dynamic, and Tesla Model 3, which deliver balanced handling characteristics suited to urban driving. Front wheel drive remains common in entry-level and Cat A COE-eligible models. All wheel drive systems are favoured in higher-tier variants such as the BYD Seal Performance dual-motor, Tesla Model Y Long Range, and premium offerings from Mercedes-Benz EQ, BMW iX, and Porsche Taycan. The dual-motor configuration delivers improved performance and traction, appealing to luxury buyers in a market where the BYD Seal Performance is priced from S$266,888 with COE.
Market Breakup by Price
Key Insights: The low and medium range price segment has expanded substantially with the entry of competitively priced Chinese EV brands. BYD became Singapore's top-selling car brand in 2025 with approximately 21.2% of all new car registrations, driven by Cat A COE-eligible models such as the Atto 3, Seal 6 (priced from approximately S$171,388), and Dolphin. MG, XPeng, Aion, and Zeekr have also intensified competition in this tier. The luxury segment remains anchored by Tesla, BMW (iX, i7, i4, iX3), Mercedes-Benz EQ, Porsche Taycan, and Volvo XC40 Recharge, with cars priced above S$250,000 catering to Singapore's affluent buyer base benefiting from the country's status as a regional financial centre.
By Vehicle Type
Passenger cars hold the dominant share of the Singapore Electric Vehicle Market, reflecting Singapore's high private vehicle ownership profile and the broad consumer adoption of mass-market EV models. The pure electric car population reached 49,110 units by end-2025, capturing 7.4% of the total car fleet of 659,889. The dominance of passenger cars is reinforced by BYD's leadership with 21.2% of all new car registrations in 2025 and Tesla's continued presence in premium segments. Commercial vehicles represent a fast-growing complementary segment, with electric light goods vehicles rising 35% year-on-year to 5,777 units by October 2025, supported by fleet electrification commitments from logistics and ride-hailing operators ahead of the 2040 cleaner-energy mandate.
By Propulsion Type
Battery electric vehicles command the largest share of the Singapore Electric Vehicle Market by propulsion type, supported by the Singapore Green Plan 2030, EEAI rebates, the S$0 Additional Registration Fee floor, and the rapid expansion of public charging access to over 15,300 points by late 2025. The dominance of BEVs is underscored by their classification as the only propulsion type continuing to qualify for VES rebates from 2026 onward. Hybrid vehicles, while still accounting for 18.4% of the total car fleet at end-2025, face structural headwinds as the regulatory framework increasingly favours zero-tailpipe drivetrains. Plug-in hybrids retain a smaller but resilient share, particularly among cross-border drivers, with BYD's July 2025 launch of the Sealion 6 DM-i marking an important addition.
By Price
The low and medium range price segment leads the Singapore Electric Vehicle Market share, fundamentally reshaped by the influx of competitively priced Chinese OEMs. BYD became Singapore's top-selling automotive brand in 2025 with around 21.2% market share, anchored by Category A COE-eligible models such as the Atto 3, Seal 6, and Dolphin. The luxury segment continues to hold meaningful share, driven by Tesla, Mercedes-Benz EQ, BMW i-Series, Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron, and Volvo XC40 Recharge. The expansion of high-net-worth households (Singapore households earning above S$20,000 monthly grew nearly 20% in 2024) supports sustained premium EV demand, even as policy reforms tilt incentives in favour of mass-market electrification.
Singapore (Central and Eastern Region)
The central and eastern districts of Singapore, encompassing the Central Business District, Marina Bay, Changi, and Jurong, lead the city-state's EV ecosystem development. Tesla operates 12 Supercharging stations with 37 ports, including the country's first V4 Superchargers launched in 2025. Marina Bay Sands hosts eight Shell Recharge stations, while Changi Airport Terminals 1 and 3 collectively offer 12 SP Mobility chargers. The region also houses Hyundai's HMGICS facility in Jurong Innovation District, which produces the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Ioniq 5 robotaxi, and Kia EV5 with annual capacity of up to 30,000 EVs. Demand drivers include high commuter traffic from financial sector workers, the concentration of premium hotels operating EV fleets, and the proximity of corporate headquarters that have committed to fleet electrification.
Singapore (Northern and Western HDB Townships)
The northern and western Housing Development Board townships of Sengkang, Punggol, Woodlands, Bukit Batok, and Jurong are central to LTA's mass-market EV charging deployment. As of December 2025, over 90% of all HDB carparks have been fitted with EV charging points, with five operators (Charge+, ComfortDelGro Engineering, SP Mobility, Shell Eastern Petroleum, and Strides Automotive Services) installing at least three charging points in each HDB carpark.
