Mr Leon Perera: To ask the Minister for Trade and Industry in respect of the target of 28,000 charging points for electric vehicles, whether the Ministry is evaluating battery-swapping as an alternative to charging.

Written reply (to be attributed to Minister for Trade & Industry Mr Chan Chun Sing)
