From 2026, LTA is revising VES bands and adjusting EV incentives and it could affect how much rebate (or surcharge) you’ll pay when registering your next car.

At a glance:
• EV incentives continue, but will gradually reduce
• Hybrids lose VES rebates
• More polluting cars face higher surcharges

Applies to newly registered cars from 1 Jan 2026.

Starting January 1, 2026, Traffic Police will implement stricter speeding penalties, increasing demerit points and fines for most offenses. For example, speeding by up to 20 km/h will result in six demerit points (up from four) and a S$200 (light vehicles) or S$250 (heavy vehicles) fine. The revised penalties are intended to deter dangerous driving following a rise in speeding violations and accidents.
