Visiting Sentosa is expensive and taking advantage of all the promotions and discounts you could get would be ideal. Today was that lucky day where all the stars aligned! At at 50 Beach View, it has huge sheltered parking that would keep your car out of the heat.
I was low on battery this day but managed to arrive at this station with 2% battery and was really lucky to arrive before my booking timed out, yes BlueCharge has a reservation system but it only allowed 40mins before they charge you a booking fee if you do not arrive before this time. This has its pros and cons but was really crucial for me that day.
Location (5 stars)
We planned for a weekend at the beach and arrive at this location (https://www.plugshare.com/location/457188) in the morning. We used a the islander membership for a free parking coupon at this carpark this day and even got a free tote bag! This location is pretty much very convenient with the monorail right above, beach just a walk away and eateries and attractions nearby.
This free islander membership promotion going on now if you like to sign up ASAP! *Link in the picture below.
BlueCharge (3 stars)
We charged at this BlueCharge EV charging station and have been able to get 20% out of it, yes BlueCharge are 3kW and are really slow but if you have no alternatives, its better than nothing. If you like to see the reservation page of this app, the image on the left is how it looks like before you reserve the station.
One good news for you is that if you cancel the reservation before the time runs out, you will not be charged the $5 for missed booking. Do take note that after the time runs out you will not be able to hold the booking even with the $5 being charged. After which, you will not be able to book for another 10mins regardless.
Parking (4 stars)
In summary the parking is relatively reasonable for this location but any parking in Sentosa is expensive. However, it is a very good location to park if you are able to get the free parking coupon! There is also a beach tram service if you are going further out to the other beaches.
Summary
With the close proximity to attractions and transport, this location is a great place to park and charge your vehicle. The only thing lacking is the charging speed of this EV charger. If charging speed is not your concern, it has a reservation system, good parking location under shelter and close proximity and transport to all attractions in Sentosa. Its a great place to park and charge and will get a good 4 stars out of 5 from me!
