Volt, a subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure, has announced plans to deploy Southeast Asia’s (SEA) largest electric vehicle (EV) charging hub in Singapore. The public fast-charging hub will be located on Jalan Papan, Jurong, and will be operated by Volt for up to 15 years. The site will feature up to 80 DC charging points.
Volt’s DC chargers will have peak outputs of 120 kW and 360 kW, allowing high-end EVs with 800-volt or higher-voltage batteries to charge efficiently. The project will be constructed in multiple phases, beginning with the installation of five 360 kW DC chargers, which can collectively charge up to 30 electric buses. The first phase is expected to be operational in the first half of 2026. Upon full completion, the hub will enable simultaneous charging for up to 80 electric buses (e-buses), with 360 kW charging points capable of charging electric cars in just 10 minutes.
Additionally, Setsco Services, a subsidiary of VICOM, will provide the electrical infrastructure and facilities for Volt’s EV charging hub. Keppel will use AI and machine learning to remotely monitor and optimize the hub through an intelligent Operations Nerve Centre (ONC) located in Changi Business Park. This initiative aligns with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, which aims to deploy 60,000 EV charging points and convert up to half of the public bus fleet to electric models.
