For charger owners
EV charger inspection in Singapore
Every registered EV charger in Singapore must be inspected on a fixed schedule under the Electric Vehicles Charging Act (EVCA). A charger in a condo, office or public car park needs an equipment specialist every 6 months; one at a landed home every 24 months. EVolt carries out these inspections with an LTA-certified equipment specialist.

How often an EV charger must be inspected
The EVCA makes the charger owner, the Registered Responsible Person (RRP), responsible for having each charger periodically inspected and maintained by qualified personnel. How often depends on where the charger is installed or used:1
| Location of charger | Qualified personnel | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Non-restricted access Condos, apartments, offices, malls, HDB and public car parks, workplaces | Equipment specialist | Every 6 months |
| Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) | Every 12 months | |
| Restricted access Landed homes: the owner’s own parking space | Equipment specialist | Every 24 months |
The clock starts on the date the charger was certified fit for charging EVs, as shown on its Certificate of Fitness.2 For example, a condo charger certified on 1 March 2026 needs an equipment specialist inspection by 1 September 2026, then an equipment specialist and an LEW inspection by 1 March 2027.
Who can inspect an EV charger
Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW)
Licensed by the Energy Market Authority.5 Installs fixed chargers, and carries out the yearly inspection of chargers at non-restricted locations.
Owners can engage any LEW and any certified equipment specialist; it does not have to be the company that installed the charger.
Restricted vs non-restricted access locations
A restricted access location is any parking space or location within, or next to, a landed dwelling-house (detached, semi-detached, terrace, linked house, strata-title cluster house or townhouse) that forms part of the same property ownership. Every other location is non-restricted: condominium car parks, shared car parks of cluster developments that are not part of a unit, commercial buildings, malls, HDB and public car parks.1
Strata-title landed homes are a special case: owners must submit their charger details to LTA, which then decides whether the location counts as restricted access.2 Until LTA says so, plan for the stricter 6-month schedule.
What an EV charger inspection checks
Inspectors work through the applicable checklist in LTA’s list of certificates and forms (the “C&F list”), against Technical Reference TR 25:2022+A1:2025 and the Electric Vehicles Charging (Electric Vehicle Chargers) Regulations 2023.2 In practice that means confirming that:
- the charger is an LTA type-approved model and carries its approval label and LTA registration mark;
- it is still installed to TR 25, with the apparatus and fittings the standard requires, and is in safe working condition;
- at non-restricted locations, the emergency main isolation shut-off switch still meets the rules: within 15 m of travel from every charger and its lot, on the same storey, at least 3 m away (unless a second switch is), 0.8–1.2 m above the floor, operable without a key or tool, clearly labelled, with instructions and signage in letters at least 50 mm tall.
Certificates you must keep
Certificate of Fitness
Issued by the equipment specialist when the charger is first certified after installation, and needed to register the charger with LTA.
Certificate of Continued Fitness
Issued after every periodic inspection, completed and endorsed by the inspector against LTA’s checklist.
Owners must keep these certificates for at least 2 years from their date and submit them to LTA on request. Failing to have a charger periodically inspected and maintained may constitute an offence.1
Registration, fees and deregistration
Inspection is one of a charger owner’s duties under the EVCA. The others:1
- Register before use. Every charger, including a replacement, must be registered with LTA before it is used, and the registration mark fixed onto it within 60 days. Allowing an unregistered charger to be used may be an offence.
- Type approval. New chargers must be LTA type-approved and carry an approval label. You can check a label’s type approval ID on OneMotoring.
- Transfer and relocation. Tell LTA when you sell, transfer or move a charger ($35 application fee each).
- Deregister unused chargers. Deregistration is free, and a deregistered charger no longer needs periodic inspections.
| Charger output | Non-restricted access | Restricted access (landed) |
|---|---|---|
| Below 23 kW | $150 | $375 |
| 23 kW to 150 kW | $375 | $750 |
| Above 150 kW | $600 | $750 |

EV charger inspection FAQ
How often must an EV charger be inspected in Singapore?
It depends on where the charger is. At a landed home (a restricted access location), an LTA-certified equipment specialist must inspect it every 24 months. Everywhere else, including condominiums, offices, malls and public car parks, an equipment specialist must inspect it every 6 months and a Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) every 12 months.
Who is responsible for getting an EV charger inspected?
The charger owner, called the Registered Responsible Person (RRP) under the Electric Vehicles Charging Act. For a condominium charger that is usually the MCST or the charging operator that registered the charger; for a home charger it is the home owner.
Who can inspect an EV charger?
Only qualified personnel: a charger equipment specialist certified by LTA (LTA publishes the list), and for non-restricted locations also a Licensed Electrical Worker licensed by the Energy Market Authority.
When is my first EV charger inspection due?
Inspection intervals are counted from the date the charger was certified fit for charging EVs, which is the date on its Certificate of Fitness. A condo charger certified on 1 March 2026 needs an equipment specialist inspection by 1 September 2026, and both an equipment specialist and an LEW inspection by 1 March 2027.
What document do I get after an EV charger inspection?
A Certificate of Continued Fitness, endorsed by the inspector against LTA’s checklist. You must keep it, along with the original Certificate of Fitness, for at least 2 years and hand it to LTA if asked.
What happens if I do not inspect my EV charger?
Failing to have a registered EV charger periodically inspected and maintained may constitute an offence under the Electric Vehicles Charging Act. If the charger is no longer used, you can deregister it with LTA for free, and inspections stop.
How much does an EV charger inspection cost?
It depends on the number of chargers, whether they are AC or DC, and the site. Email ev-charger-inspection@evolt.sg with your location, number of chargers and charger model for a quote.
