Electric Vehicle Charging (EVC) Solution

An EV charging solution is a comprehensive system that allows electric vehicles to recharge safely and efficiently. It includes hardware (AC or DC chargers), software, installation, and maintenance services.

Singapore offers the Electric Vehicle Common Charger Grant (ECCG) for private residences, which co-funds up to 50% of installation costs for shared EV chargers at condominiums and private apartments until December 31, 2026, or until 3,500 chargers are supported.

For businesses, the Electric Heavy Vehicle Charger Grant (EHVCG) provides up to 50% co-funding (capped at $30,000 per charger) for chargers installed for electric heavy vehicles, available from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028.

We recommend ABB Terra AC Wallbox, Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox and Schneider Charger Series Home Charger as the top choice for home EV charging.

• The ABB Terra AC Wallbox provides a sleek design, strong reliability, and advanced smart functions via the ChargerSync™ app, making it a preferred choice for homeowners.
• The Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox offers good charging performance, smart app features, and compatibility with 7.4 kW and 22 kW setups common in Singapore residences.
• The Schneider Electric EVlink Home is known for its durable build and user-friendly interface, delivering safe and dependable home charging.

These three brands represent the most reliable and recommended EV chargers for home use in Singapore.

Businesses can benefit from an EV charging solution in multiple ways:

• Enhance convenience for employees and tenants by providing on-site charging.
• Attract eco-conscious customers or tenants, giving your property a competitive edge.
• Demonstrate sustainability leadership, aligning with green initiatives and corporate responsibility goals.
• Generate additional revenue by offering paid charging services.
• Future-proof your property as electric vehicles become more common, ensuring your facility remains relevant and modern.

The charging power depends on the power rating of the charger. For AC charging stations, a 7 kW charger typically requires a single-phase supply with 32 A, while a 22 kW charger requires a three-phase supply with 32 A.

According to the international benchmarks, one AC EV charger could be sufficient to charge up to 3 electrical vehicles (EVs), depending on the maximum power rating of the charger. You may estimate the total number of EVs in your building or facilities within your employees, tenants and visitors group. We would recommend you to start with 2-3 units to monitor the usage before proceeding with a larger scale.

For AC chargers, we offer IEC Type 2 connectors.

For DC fast chargers, we support CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors, ensuring compatibility with most electric vehicles in Singapore.

An AC charger supplies AC (Alternating Current) to an onboard charging device that converts it to Direct Current (DC) which can then be used to charge the EV battery. 

A DC fast charging station supplies power directly to the battery management system inside the vehicle with no onboard charging infrastructure needed inside the vehicle. Faster charging is accomplished with DC charging. 

ABB and Schneider Electric offer a wide range of AC and DC chargers for use in Singapore.

The potential cost involved includes the cost of purchasing EV charger(s), installation cost, LEW fees, EV charger maintenance, and/or EV chargers payment and management software subscription if you are providing the EV chargers with a payment collection feature.

Lim Kim Hai Electric is providing a complimentary on-site consultation. We are also offering EV installation, maintenance and payment solutions as a one-stop solution. We recommend engaging the EV specialist to advise the best solution that would fit your application needs. 

Commercial buildings usually need to serve logistic fleets or commercial users who require shorter charging durations. Thus, DC charging stations, which could accommodate fast charging within 1-2 hours are recommended to serve fast turnaround usage. However, in some commercial buildings that serve office workers or tenants who can park their vehicles for longer periods, AC charging stations would be the more budgetary option to go for.  

AC charging stations are the recommended option for residential EV charging. Both 7.4kw and 22kw home chargers are sufficient enough to charge your car and meet your daily usage needs. 

Lim Kim Hai Electric offers a complete range of EV charging solutions in Singapore, including AC and DC chargers, professional installation, maintenance, and operator services in partnership with Ev Mobility(EVM).

Our solutions are tailored for commercial, industrial, and residential properties, helping businesses provide convenient charging, enhance sustainability, and future-proof their facilities.
