AOX Pte. Ltd. was found to be misusing CCS’s logo in their marketing materials to promote its water filters. In their physical outlets, there was a statement stating, “Our findings were verified by Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore”.

❌ However, CCS never verified any of their findings. The statement was untrue and misleading to consumers.

AOX has since given an undertaking to cease the use of CCS’s logo and refrain from engaging in unfair trade practices.

CCS is seeking your feedback on proposed commitments from SP Mobility Pte. Ltd.’s acquisition of Strides YTL Pte. Ltd.

✅ EV charging prices won't increase beyond current levels
✅ No discriminatory pricing against East region drivers
✅ 3-year commitment period with CCS oversight

From now to 13 April 2026, 5pm, provide your feedback on the proposed commitments via go.gov.sg/ccsonlineform to have your say in maintaining fair competition in Singapore’s growing EV charging network.
