As a car wash business owner, I am thrilled to see Shell's commitment to sustainable transportation and the launch of their first EV charging station in Singapore. This development is a positive step towards reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and promoting environmentally friendly practices.

However, as the owner of a car wash business, I am also aware that EVs will require a different approach to cleaning and maintenance compared to traditional gasoline-powered cars. This presents an opportunity for our business to adapt and offer specialized cleaning services for EVs.

I am excited to see the growth of the EV industry and look forward to supporting the transition to sustainable transportation through our car wash business. We will continue to explore innovative solutions and adapt to meet the needs of our customers in this evolving market.
