SINGAPORE: Singapore is testing out several electric vehicle (EV) prototypes and technologies. The inter-agency Electric Vehicle Taskforce announced the launch of the electric vehicle test-bed on Saturday. The taskforce is led by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The aim of the test-bed is to test and gauge different EV prototypes and charging technologies, given Singapore’s urbanised environment and road conditions, before deciding if to swell it retired for general use. For a start, the test-bed will be At three outdoor and two indoor charging stations and need five Mitsubishi i-MiEVs and four smart electric drive Daimler vehicles. Starting from just nine, the number of electric cars taking part in this test-bed is due to grow to 95 formerly the trial ends in 2013. Via then, there will also be 63 charging stations. Five of these stations are ready and will likewise start collecting data on charging patterns as part of the test-bed. The test-bed faculty provide insights to guide the readying for future deployment of EVs. The facts will also help find out the optimal ratio of charging devotion to cars. Explained LTA’s chief executive Chew Hock Yong: “One example would beryllium how the battery fares in the area surroundings. We’ll be collecting data at the charging points. So, things like how often the cars are hot and how much electricity they spend ….will allow us to determine however efficient the car is within a area environment.” The …
