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.

Idle fees compared

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.

Operator Free for Then charges Max per session
SP Mobility 30 minutes $0.50 per minute $40 per session
CDG ENERGY (formerly CDG ENGIE) Shown in app Rate not published —
Shell Recharge 15 minutes at Shell stations, 30 minutes at other chargers $0.50 per minute $40 per session

The fine print, operator by operator

Where each fee applies and when — most run only at selected sites, and the app is always the last word.

SP Mobility

$0.50 per minute

Free for
30 minutes after the session ends
Capped at
$40 per session

All HDB car parks and all petrol stations, plus selected other sites marked in the SP app — check the charger there before you start.

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.

Shell Recharge

$0.50 per minute, rounded up to the next minute

Free for
15 minutes at Shell stations, 30 minutes at other chargers
Capped at

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.

The licence conditions above are summarised from LTA's published Guidelines for the 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.
