Electric Vehicles Charging Act
Charger provisioning requirements for new buildings and significant electrical works
Administered by Land Transport Authority (LTA) · Window: 2022-04-01 → Ongoing
Support type
Regulatory framework (not a grant)
The Electric Vehicles Charging Act sets minimum EV charger installation requirements for new buildings and buildings undergoing significant electrical works. It also mandates reservation of adequate electrical capacity for future charger expansion. It is a regulatory framework rather than a financial incentive — but has direct planning implications for property owners and developers.
Who qualifies
- · New buildings and developments undergoing significant electrical works
- · Applies primarily to owners and developers of commercial, industrial and residential properties
- · Compliance is a design and regulatory requirement, not a grant application
How to apply
- 1. Requirements should be built into design at the schematic-design stage of new developments
- 2. Retrofits requiring significant electrical works are also within scope — verify with LTA prior to works
- 3. Professional Engineer (PE) sign-off on electrical works interacts with EVCA compliance
Caps and window
Regulatory framework, not a grant. No cap or window — applies to qualifying works on an ongoing basis.
Notes
EVCA is often overlooked because it is a regulatory framework rather than a grant. But its charger-provisioning and capacity-reservation requirements are already reshaping how logistics and industrial buildings are designed — a signal of where existing-stock regulation is heading next.
