Adding a new power point in Singapore costs SGD 100-200 per point for standard installations. Costs increase if wiring needs to run through concrete walls or over long distances from the DB board.

Full rewiring of a 4-room HDB flat costs SGD 2,000-5,000 depending on the number of points and wiring complexity. This is often recommended for resale flats over 20 years old.

Can I install an EV charger in my condo in Singapore?
