More Singaporeans are embracing electric vehicles (EVs), but there’s no denying that there still are significant hurdles standing in the way of full-scale adoption.
One of the most pressing pain points is range anxiety—with the number of EVs in the city-state outpacing available charging points over the last five years, this concern is only becoming increasingly pronounced for drivers hoping to hit the roads without a hitch.
To elevate the ownership experience of EV users, Singapore-based charging point operator MNL Asia and homegrown startup Power Up Tech (P.UP) have come together to launch Singapore’s first EV charging lifestyle membership.
This initiative provides drivers with both fixed and mobile charging solutions, making it easier than ever to embrace electric driving in Singapore’s urban landscape.
Everything to know about the EV charging lifestyle membership
Users can choose from two membership packages: the S$88 Classic Boost package, or the S$188 Ultimate Boost package.
Each package comes with complimentary charging credits redeemable at any of MNL Asia’s fixed charging stations, along with a free P.UP Emergency Rescue (normally priced at S$158)—Singapore’s first and only 24/7 emergency EV rescue service.
If you ever run out of charge while on the road, you can rest easy knowing that help is just a call away. P.UP’s Emergency Rescue service will arrive at your location, providing DC fast charging to your stranded EV with their mobile chargers and boosting it to 20% battery capacity.
This gives you just enough charge to reach the nearest charging station, where you can also utilise your free charging credits on MNL Asia’s network of over 500 stationary chargers.
Additionally, the Emergency Rescue service includes 12V battery recovery and jumpstart assistance. If you require additional charging beyond 20% or a 12V battery replacement, a surcharge will apply.
Apart from this, the packages also offer discounts of up to 20% on P.UP’s Mobile EV Concierge services, too. This means doorstep charging at your convenience, anytime and anywhere, along with additional grooming services.
However, do note that the Classic Boost Package is valid only for six months from your purchase date, while the Ultimate Boost package offers a 12-month validity. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of what each package includes:
Peace of mind in a package
With Singapore set to phase out the sales of ICEs by 2030, the need for accessible charging solutions has never been more critical.
MNL Asia and P.UP’s EV charging lifestyle membership packages give subscribers peace of mind with access to reliable charging options, ensuring a worry-free EV experience wherever the road takes you.
Several challenges may inconvenience the overall EV driving experience currently, including the uneven distribution of charging stations, long charging times and the frequent hogging of public chargers. By introducing these first-in-Singapore lifestyle membership packages, MNL Asia and P.UP are setting a new standard for convenience, aiming to elevate the ownership experience of EQ users and reduce barriers to EV adoption across the country.
