Singapore considers Model S EV a high carbon emission vehicle based on fuel consumption and upstream power generation

Green Car Congress

Channel NewsAsia recently reported on the case of a Tesla Model S owner in Singapore who, rather than receiving the Carbon Emissions-based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS) rebate he expected of S$15,000 (US$10,841) was hit with a CEVS surcharge of S$15,000 for having high carbon emissions. Singapore revised CEVS bands.

NUS researcher links air pollution to increased residential electricity demand

Green Car Congress

The study, set in Singapore, suggests that better air quality will bring about climate co-benefits in reducing electricity generation via lower household demand, and thus mitigating carbon emissions. However, only 8% of the tropics’ three billion people currently have air conditioners, compared to 76% in Singapore.
