A motorist was surprised to find paint on the tyres of his electric vehicle (EV) one day and wondered where the paint came from.
Stomper Wei later discovered it was from the EV charging point in the basement carpark of Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, and now wants to warn other EV owners about it.
He had recently charged his EV there for more than four hours before driving home. Wei said this was in February, but he cannot recall the exact date.
“Two days later, my wife pointed out to me that there’s green paint stuck on my car tyres,” he told Stomp on March 9.
“We had to send our car for a full car wash that included scrubbing of the tyres at a car detailing workshop. It was a relief that we did not have to change the tyres.”
At first, the Stomper could not figure out where the paint came from.
Then at the end of February, he went for lunch at Straits Chinese Nonya Restaurant in Esplanade Mall with his wife.
