Singapore's transport authorities have been cracking down on mileage fraud, with a surprising culprit emerging: electric car owners. According to a recent study, drivers of electric vehicles are more likely to commit mileage fraud, where they artificially inflate their car's mileage to receive higher trade-in values or insurance payouts. The study suggests that this trend may be linked to the relatively high cost of electric vehicles, which can make owners desperate to recoup some of their investment. As the popularity of electric cars continues to grow, authorities are now grappling with the challenge of detecting and preventing this type of fraud.
