I don’t understand the tax for a Ev is much higher as compare to the rest of the cars. To me gov is trying to get money the car owners since they are not able to get from petrol.

Definitely possible to reduce carbon emissions at each stage of the EV lifecycle, i.e. replacement of lithium ion batteries, recycling and upcyling used batteries, increasing renewables mix with new energy storage solutions etc.

The true cost depend on how much is per KWH electric going to be in Singapore. 🙄

The price of charging keep Increasing quietly. Soon the price will be the same as petrol.

I am appalled that the commentator pronounced Thailand as "thigh land". Why don't they take some time to improve their knowledge and not make awful mistakes like that.
