SINGAPORE, Jan 23 (The Straits Times/ANN): Tesla continues to lead the pack in electric vehicles (EVs) registered here as sales shoot up for a second year, although other brands are closing in on the American icon.

At 3,634 units, EVs made up 11.7 per cent of all cars registered in 2022. This is a big leap from the 1,740 units, or 3.8 per cent of total registrations, in 2021. In 2020, just 0.2 per cent, or 100 EVs, were on the road.
