31 companies run Singapore's 11,841 public
connectors, and each sets its own rules on payment, accounts and idle fees. Prices come from LTA;
the rules below are summarised from each operator's own terms and support pages.
The rules, side by side
Covering the 28 operators behind 99% of Singapore's charging locations.
A dash means the operator does not publish it.
What each network charges if you leave the car plugged in after it has finished charging. Almost
all of them start the clock at the end of the session, not the end of your parking — Tesla's can
start mid-charge at a busy Supercharger, once the battery reaches 80%.
For where each policy applies, the hours it runs and which networks publish nothing, see
what each operator charges in idle fees.
Charged per minute; CDG ENERGY does not publish the rate on its site or in its T&Cs
Free for
a grace period once the car is fully charged, its length varying by site and shown in the app
Where
Not at every site — CDG ENERGY advertises zero idle fees at selected locations and says rates vary by site and charger type. The app shows what applies where you are.
$0.50 to $1.00 per minute depending on the site ($0.50 at most), charged as a congestion fee with tax included
Free for
5 minutes after Tesla notifies you that congestion fees apply
Capped at
nothing — Tesla sets no upper limit
Where
Superchargers only, and only when Tesla classes the site as busy. Unlike every other network here it can start before charging ends: once the battery reaches 80%, or when the session finishes, whichever comes first.
Charged once the grace period ends; the rate is not published
Free for
30 minutes from the in-app notice that the car is idling
Where
Property subscribers are generally exempt from 11:00pm to 8:00am, unless their building council changes that.
You never have to sign up to charge
This is the single most useful thing to know about Singapore's charging network, and almost no
operator advertises it.
Every public charging operator here holds a licence from LTA, and those licence conditions set a
floor that applies to every charger on this page:
Guest access is mandatory. Operators may offer memberships, but every charger
must be usable without registering an account, paying a membership fee, or handing over personal
details.
Every charger must take ordinary payment — at least one of a Visa or Mastercard
credit card, NETS, or PayNow. That method may or may not involve an app, so an in-app PayNow QR
code counts.
No operator can force you to pre-load money. Deposits and stored credit cannot
be required. Prepaid wallets are allowed as an option, and a temporary hold on your card that is
released after the session is allowed, but a pay-as-you-go route has to exist.
The catch: the guest routes exist on paper but are rarely signposted, and some operators' own terms
read as though an account is compulsory. In practice most networks push you hard toward their app.
If you are stuck at a charger without the app, look for a QR code or card reader on the unit
itself — by licence, something there has to take your money.
Every operator
All 29 companies with public chargers in the LTA feed, largest network first. We link
the official website for 25 of them — the rest publish nothing we could verify as
genuinely theirs, and we would rather leave a gap than point you at the wrong company.

Licensing of EV Charging Operators (21 Nov 2025); they are a plain-English summary, not legal advice. Operator rules are summarised from each company's own published terms, support
pages and corporate releases, with the source and check date listed on that operator's page. Rules
change and apps are the last word — treat this as a starting point, not a contract.
