Nevertheless, if you’ve always wanted to work for a company like Tesla, here’s your chance.

Supercharger might be at Singapore Island Country Club

Meanwhile, on Tesla’s official website, the electric car company shared that it will be arriving in Singapore “soon”.

Another indication of Tesla’s imminent entry is the marker indicating that a supercharger will be located at Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) — the first of its kind here.

For the uninitiated, Tesla’s supercharger can reportedly charge a car within just 30 minutes, a stark contrast to the several hours other conventional chargers would take.

Some experts quoted by The Straits Times (ST) said placing the supercharger at SICC is a sound choice as members of the club would be among those who would be able to afford one of Tesla’s automobiles.

However, Electrek – a US news site – said a marker on Tesla’s site might not necessarily serve as confirmation of a supercharger’s location. After all, the company would still have to find a property to house the supercharger, secure the relevant permits, and source for an appropriate utility company.

Rumours of Tesla returning to Singapore started in 2016

After a short 6-month stint in Feb 2011, there were rumours in 2016 that the American car manufacturer would be making a return to our shores.

However, there have been few updates since, apart from occasional tweets by founder Elon Musk claiming that the Singapore government was allegedly unsupportive of electric cars.

It’s unclear how the narrative has gone since then, but if recent signs are anything to go by, the situation seems promising for Tesla fans here.
