The 50kW DC chargers can fully charge a car in 30 minutes. Over the next few years, SP will introduce more high-powered DC charging points of up to 350kW. Other than SP’s, there are six other DC chargers in Singapore. SP’s new additions will be a game-changer in improving the charging turnaround time for EV drivers in Singapore. EV drivers can also enjoy at least 50 per cent cost savings compared to typical Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles for every kilometre travelled. The cost of using SP charging points will be regularly adjusted, mainly influenced by the prevailing electricity costs in Singapore.

This initiative aims to provide owners with peace of mind and a one-stop solution when shopping for a pre-loved Volkswagen. In the future, Das WeltAuto will also include pre-loved ŠKODA vehicles. In Singapore, the newly opened Das WeltAuto showroom is located strategically at Leng Kee AutoPoint, beside Volkswagen and ŠKODA Centre Singapore. This arrangement unites the group brands.

Every Das WeltAuto vehicle receives a stringent 115-point inspection, one of the most extensive we’ve come across for pre-owned programmes. We are also pleased to discover that Das WeltAuto accepts only used vehicles with an excellent, accident-free servicing record. With the assurance of 100% genuine parts when it comes to parts replacement and a minimum 12 months warranty, customers can be confident that their Das WeltAuto pride is bona fide!
