The Straits Times interviewed Cyclect Managing Director Melvin Tan for a 2010 article on Singapore’s electric vehicle readiness. The article, titled “All Set to Electrify”, examined what infrastructure would be needed to support EV adoption at scale.
Mr Tan’s contribution was grounded in Cyclect’s background in power distribution and electrical installation rather than advocacy. The company’s experience across industrial, commercial and utility electrical systems gave it a practical basis for assessing charging infrastructure requirements.
The feature reflects an early point at which Cyclect was engaging with energy transition topics that have since become central to its business — including its current work in solar, cogeneration and data centre energy systems.
