Singapore is extending driving licence requirements to cover a wider range of electric vehicles (EVs) weighing up to 3,000kg, effective June 15th. The change, announced by the Traffic Police (TP), impacts heavier EVs previously exempt from certain licensing stipulations. This adjustment aims to align regulations with the increasing weight of newer EVs, ensuring road safety as adoption grows. The move supports Singapore’s national goal of transitioning to clean energy vehicles by 2040. Details regarding the specific requirements for these heavier EVs have not been fully elaborated in the initial announcement. The TP states this is a proactive step to manage the evolving vehicle landscape. Drivers affected should check the TP website for updated guidelines.
