Question No: 6733

Question by: Mr Edward Chia Bing Hui

To ask the Minister for National Development whether HDB can review the current policy on the transfer of season parking transfers for electric vehicle (EV) owners to allow such owners to temporarily have season parking at two multi-storey carparks (MSCP), one where they reside and another where the EV charging facility is available, until EV chargers are installed at their primary MSCP.

Answer:

LTA and HDB are deploying electric vehicle (EV) charging points to nearly 2,000 HDB car parks by 2025. This will increase the accessibility of charging facilities for EV owners.

To support the charging needs of residents with EVs, HDB allows residents to temporarily transfer their existing season parking to another car park with EV chargers, at the same season parking rate.

Currently, there are no plans to allow EV owners to hold one season parking ticket that allows season parking at two different car parks. While we support the charging needs of residents with EVs, we also have to be fair to other season parking holders who are not EV owners.
