Green Pulse Ep 55: Recording a podcast and experience inside an
EV


19:36 mins


Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits
Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from
biodiversity conservation to climate change.


Singapore is accelerating its drive to electrify its vehicles.
The Government has committed to rolling out more charging
stations and is also dangling incentives such as rebates, to get
people to switch from internal combustion engine vehicles to
electric vehicles (EV) early.


But what is it like driving an EV? How big of an obstacle is the
current lack of charging points for motorists today? To find out,
environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor
David Fogarty hit the roads in an EV with ST’s senior transport
correspondent Christopher Tan. 


They discuss the following points:
What ST motoring expert Christopher Tan looks out for when
test-driving an electric vehicle (EV) (2:10) Improvements in EV
technology (4:28) How have motorists in Singapore been responding
to the Government’s push for EVs? (6:33) What are the concerns
among those who are willing to, but are hesitant about switching to
an EV? (11:27)  How to use a public EV charging station.
(13:55)
