Electric Heavy Vehicle Charger Grant (EHVCG): Up to S$30,000 per Charger for Singapore Fleets

The Electric Heavy Vehicle Charger Grant (EHVCG) is an LTA grant that co-funds up to 50% of the cost of installing a charger for electric heavy vehicles (eHVs), capped at S$30,000 per charger. It runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028, or until 500 chargers have been approved. Each co-funded charger needs a newly registered eHV and must be a smart charger rated at least 50 kW at a heavy vehicle lot. The grant is paid after installation, so the applicant pays the full cost first and claims afterwards.

Who is eligible for the EHVCG?

• Fleet and logistics companies: trucking and delivery fleets, construction companies and heavy vehicle lessors.
• Bus operators: private bus companies, school bus fleets and shuttle services.
• Sites where eHVs are based: ports, airports, factories, industrial parks and heavy vehicle parks.

What does the grant cover?

LTA co-funds 50% of the eligible cost components, up to S$30,000 per charger. GST is not co-funded.

• Charging system: the charger (at least 50 kW), a router if needed, electrical distribution equipment such as isolators, residual current devices, circuit breakers, kWh meters, surge arrestors and fuses, and networking hardware such as a modem. Recurring service fees are excluded.
• Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) fees: for both the Building LEW and the Project or Charger LEW. An LEW who is the applicant's own employee is not covered.
• Cabling, trunking and installation works: power and data cables and their testing, trunking, mounting brackets, concrete bases, trenching and equipment connection. Labour counts only if the workers are not the applicant's employees.

What is not covered?

Anything not directly needed to install or run the charger: signage, repainting lots, electrical and civil infrastructure upgrades, and SP PowerGrid's grid connection fee for a higher load. Check the site's electrical capacity before applying, because an upgrade adds cost the grant does not share.

How does the S$30,000 cap work?

Example A

• Charging system: S$42,000
• LEW fees: S$2,000
• Cabling and installation: S$10,000
• 50% of eligible components: S$27,000
• Grant paid: S$27,000

Example B

• Charging system: S$51,000
• LEW fees: S$3,000
• Cabling and installation: S$12,000
• 50% of eligible components: S$33,000
• Grant paid: S$30,000 (capped)

In Example B, half the eligible cost is S$33,000, so the S$30,000 cap applies.

What are the conditions?

• One new eHV per charger. Register a new eHV in the applicant's name between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2028 for each co-funded charger. LTA tags each charger to a specific eHV, which cannot be used for another application.
• No more than three chargers per site. Fleets with more eHVs can apply for chargers at other sites, as long as chargers do not outnumber the new eHVs registered.
• At the applicant's place of business. A headquarters, site office, client site, lessee's premises or heavy vehicle park. You do not need to own it, but the premises owner must approve through a Letter of Confirmation signed by a management-level representative of all parties.
• A smart charger rated at least 50 kW. It must adjust its charging rate to information it receives, record and transmit timestamped energy use, and support Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6 or later.
• At a heavy vehicle lot of the right size. At least 7.5 m × 3 m for angled parking or 9.0 m × 3.0 m for parallel parking. It does not need to match the vehicle's parking certificate.

The applicant does not need to own the charger, and it can be shared with public users if a licensed EV charging operator runs it. The grant is paid only to the applicant, who is the registered owner of the eHV; if the eHV is leased, the lessor applies.

How do you apply for the EHVCG?

• Apply on the Business Grants Portal with Corppass, submitting the building owner's details, the Letter of Confirmation if the site is not yours, Checklist A, an installation quotation or invoice, and proof of the eHV purchase such as a purchase order or deposit receipt.
• Accept the Letter of Offer (LOF) that LTA issues if you meet the criteria.
• Install the charger after the LOF. You have one year from the LOF date to install and submit your claim.
• Submit your claim with receipts dated after approval and photos of the charger and the lot. By then the eHV must be purchased and registered in your name.
• Issue an e-invoice through Vendors@Gov once the claim is approved; LTA verifies it and pays the grant.

What continues after approval?

For three years from the LOF date the charger must stay operational, LTA may ask for energy and utilisation data and carry out site visits or audits, and moving or removing the charger needs LTA's approval. There is no minimum contract period with the premises owner or charger operator, but a contract shorter than three years needs an explanation of how the obligation will be met. The full terms are in the LOF, and LTA answers EHVCG questions at [email protected].
