Dr Roy Yap, Head of the School for Business and Law at the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) Singapore, recently appeared on Channel 8 News to discuss the evolving landscape of electric vehicle (EV) insurance. The segment, aired on 3 June 2025, highlighted the complexities of risk profiling, consumer protection, and insurers’ responsibilities in the context of a green economy.
The rise of EVs in Singapore is prompting a re-evaluation of traditional insurance models. Dr Yap emphasised that the shift towards EVs necessitates new considerations in risk assessment, policy coverage, and regulatory safeguards. He urged stakeholders to rethink legacy systems to accommodate technological advancements. “The rise of EVs in Singapore is not just about infrastructure or adoption. It raises important questions about how we insure, regulate, and protect consumers in a fast-changing landscape,” Dr Yap stated.
