Measures to Help Point-to-point EV Drivers Manage Higher Operating Costs Amid Projected Electricity Price Rise

Ms Yeo Wan Ling asked the Minister for Transport given the Government's push towards electric vehicle (EV) adoption and to support a sustainable transition to EVs, what measures will the Government introduce to help point-to-point EV drivers manage the resulting increase in operating costs due to the projected significant rise in electricity prices from July 2026.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: To cushion the impact of the energy crisis arising from the Middle East conflict, the Government disbursed a $200 cash relief in May 2026 to active point-to-point transport drivers. This includes those driving electric vehicles.
