What’s the smartest way to improve delivery efficiency while reducing environmental impact in one of Asia’s most forward-thinking cities?

Singapore’s tightly connected infrastructure, urban density, and environmental policies make it a unique stage for innovation in logistics. At EVFY, we believe the electric van is more than a sustainable alternative—it’s a business opportunity that meets the demands of modern commerce and responsible mobility.

From lowering operational costs to meeting emission targets, electric vans offer real, measurable benefits. And EVFY’s dedicated EV leasing model ensures these benefits are within reach—without the complexity of vehicle ownership.

Key Takeaways

  • Singapore’s compact urban layout makes electric vans ideal for short, high-frequency delivery routes.

  • EV leasing minimizes upfront cost and allows businesses to scale their fleets easily with EVFY.

  • EVFY offers a range of electric vans with various payloads, ranges, and dimensions to match every commercial delivery need.

  • Singapore’s fast-developing EV charging network supports consistent and uninterrupted logistics.

  • A leased EV from EVFY helps businesses reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and enhance their brand’s environmental credibility.

How Singapore’s Geography Supports Electric Delivery Fleets

Singapore covers just over 700 square kilometers, but within that compact footprint lies one of the world’s most efficient city infrastructures.

  • Delivery routes are short and repetitive.

  • Traffic conditions are relatively predictable.

  • Road networks are well-maintained and optimized for urban logistics.

All of these factors create an ideal environment for electric vans. Range becomes a non-issue—especially when you’re operating EVFY’s vehicles, like the BYD T3 (up to 300 km range) or DFSK EC35 (up to 331 km range).

When paired with shorter charging intervals and consistent city speeds, these leased EVs enable higher route completion rates, lower energy costs, and fewer emissions—all without compromising productivity.

With EV leasing options from EVFY, companies can match the right vehicle to the right route—and adapt quickly as their delivery needs evolve.

Why Businesses Are Saving More with Electric Van Leasing

Switching to electric doesn’t have to mean spending more. In fact, it’s often the opposite.

Leasing electric vans through EVFY offers multiple advantages:

  • No capital investment—lease terms are monthly or annual

  • Reduced fuel costs thanks to energy-efficient electric drivetrains

  • Minimal maintenance due to fewer mechanical parts

  • Flexible terms that support seasonal or long-term logistics operations

Singapore’s well-connected geography further reduces vehicle wear and tear, cutting down on long-term maintenance expenses. By choosing Leased EV with EVFY solutions, your fleet stays modern and efficient without incurring depreciation or surprise repair costs.

Charging Infrastructure: Convenient, Fast, and Accessible

Singapore's EV readiness is among the best in the region. With plans for 60,000 charging points by 2030, the shift to EVs has full government support—and the infrastructure to back it.

What that means for EVFY leasing customers:

  • Daily charging becomes a simple overnight routine

  • Fast DC charging (as low as 1 hour in some models) ensures minimal downtime

  • Public and depot-based charging options offer flexibility and convenience

EVFY clients also receive support in identifying ideal charging patterns and site-specific solutions, removing any learning curve from the transition.

Green Policies and Incentives That Work for Businesses

Businesses in Singapore that act early on electrification benefit from a range of government-backed rebates and programs.

EVFY supports clients in leveraging:

  • Commercial Vehicle Emissions Scheme (CVES): Up to $30,000 in rebates for eligible electric vans

  • Early Adoption Incentive: Offsets the incremental cost of switching to EVs

  • EV Common Charger Grant: Encourages and assists with charger installations at workplaces

These programs lower the total cost of leasing and operating an electric fleet, especially when working with a partner like EVFY who understands the ins and outs of government schemes.

Sustainability as a Business Strategy

Sustainability is no longer optional. It’s a competitive differentiator.

By leasing electric vans through EVFY, businesses gain measurable environmental advantages:

  • Zero tailpipe emissions during operation

  • Reduced noise in residential and commercial areas

  • Visible ESG alignment for reporting and marketing

This not only helps you meet environmental commitments—it positions your brand as proactive, responsible, and aligned with national goals. Whether you’re a logistics company, a growing e-commerce brand, or a distributor, sustainability enhances customer loyalty and partner trust.
