  The article “Electric vehicles will take over Singapore. But here’s what must happen first” written by Kuttan (2020, Feb) discusses the relevance and feasibility of Singapore’s goals in the adoption of electric vehicles. Kuttan begins by highlighting the many benefits that electric vehicles bring to Singapore, including relieving traffic congestion and reducing the country’s overall carbon footprint. He goes on to highlight that Singapore aims to retire internal combustion engines by 2040 and have plans to install 28,000 charging points in collaboration with major energy companies. However, using Norway, a leading country in the adoption of electric vehicles, as a contrasting example, he underlines his concerns on the feasibility of Singapore’s goals. Kuttan points out that Norway has actively supported the adoption of electric vehicles through incentives, where Singapore is lacking. In addition, despite the lack of incentives, Singapore aims to have roughly 10 times more charging po

 In the article, "Electric vehicles will take over Singapore. But here’s what must happen first" by Dr Sanjay C Kuttan, Chairman of Sustainable Infrastructure Committee at Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore, it is mentioned that  Singapore has declared that it plans to retire internal combustion engines by 2040, paving the way for electric vehicles. It also mentions that Singapore plans to install 28,000 charging points in collaboration with major energy companies. However, experts have warned that a supply shock of electric vehicles may threaten the goal. Additionally, the article claims that Singapore's goal may seem far-fetched in comparison to the current leading country in adoption of electric vehicles - Norway. Singapore aims to have roughly 10 times more charging point density, and have not implemented incentives for drivers to buy electric vehicles unlike Norway.  As Singapore looks towards the use of EVs, dealing with traffic congestion issues, adapting

Singapore has declared that it plans to retire internal combustion engines by 2040, paving the way for electric vehicles. It also plans to install 28,000 charging points in collaboration with major energy companies. However, experts have warned that a supply shock of electric vehicles may threaten the goal. Additionally, Singapore's goal may seem far-fetched in comparison to the current leading country in adoption of electric vehicles - Norway. Singapore aims to have roughly 10 times more charging point density, and have not implemented incentives for drivers to buy electric vehicles unlike Norway.  As Singapore looks towards the use of EVs, dealing with traffic congestion issues, adapting to new technology, implementing practices to safeguard the future, can effectively reduce carbon footprint. Motivating public transport use would ensure lesser cars are driven on roads. Converting commercial transport aggressively to EVs, cutting down on petrol vehicles, would reduce environmenta
