There arent many Evs in singapore as theres not really an after sales infrastrature in place to support owning one and the lack of battery tech means that range is limited before a charge is needed. Furthermore as most of us live in hdb aparements, current recharging stations are not really widespread yet because they are mostly bulky,cumbersome and are located out of the way. This negativity causes many to overlook it as an alternative to petrol powered vehicles. Could there be a retractable reel like charging wire ( just the charging adapter from the shown charging point above)that comes down from above and retracts back into the ceiling once the charging is finished, like a wall socket ? This could enable many lots to be used as an ev charging point, especially if ev cars take off, or it may even spur ev ownership. Imagine charging your car at home without the need to fuel up at a petrol station. Or as an alternative,an EV charging station, which like a petrol station with the idea above. With the compact nature of the charging lot, it can even possibly be a multi level charging station, serving quite a number of cars, possibly more than what a petrol powered variant could do without the relative dangers of fuel vapours etc. Something like this Station staff collects the car, drives inside and parks the car in one of the ev station lots, and returns the car once the charging is done. Payment while waiting.
