I may know it is not good enough for you but
it is still a small step for considerating buy a green car next year
as for a different COE for green car, I dun think government still not able to give up that lubircative income
Interesting to know how much Tesla and Senoko Energy Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicle
will benefit from this scheme
and there is another or same scheme

This is from LTA below

SINGAPORE: Owners of cars which are more fuel efficient and emit less carbon will enjoy rebates of up to S$20,000, under the new Carbon Emissions-Based Vehicle Scheme (CEV).
It will apply to all new cars, taxis and imported used cars registered from 1 January 2013.
The new CEV Scheme will replace the existing Green Vehicle Rebate scheme that expires on 31 December 31 2012.
To qualify for the rebates, the vehicles must have carbon emissions of less than or equal to 160 grammes (g) carbon emissions per kilometre (CO2/km).

The new CEV Scheme will replace the existing Green Vehicle Rebate scheme that expires on 31 December 31 2012.
To qualify for the rebates, the vehicles must have carbon emissions of less than or equal to 160 grammes (g) carbon emissions per kilometre (CO2/km).
 The rebates range from S$5,000 to S$20,000, based on the emission bands determined by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). They will be used to offset the Additional Registration Fee (ARF) payable. Cars with carbon emissions equal to or more than 211g CO2/km will incur a registration surcharge of between S$5,000 and S$20,000. The surcharges will take effect six months later, from 1 July 2013, to give consumers and the motor industry more time to adjust. As for taxis, which have higher mileage than cars, the CEV rebate and registration surcharge are 50 per cent higher - at between S$7,500 and S$30,000. The LTA hopes that this will encourage taxi companies to opt for vehicle models that are more environmentally friendly. Non Euro V-compliant diesel models, which emit significantly more fine particulate matter, will not enjoy the ARF rebates, even if they fall within the emission bands for rebates. However, if they fall within the surcharge bands, the CEV surcharge will still apply. The CEV will apply until 31 December 2014. The LTA will then review the scheme and look at its impact on consumers, technological advances and Singapore's efforts in climate change. The LTA is also helping consumers make more informed decisions on vehicle models that are more fuel efficient and emit less carbon. Its data on CO2/km performance for each car model is available on the mandatory Fuel Economy Label (FEL) information labels affixed on cars in showrooms. The label, which carries LTA's logo, has to be affixed on cars and light goods vehicles approved from 1 July 2012. It highlights the model's CO2/km, fuel consumption and carbon emission performance, as well as the car banding under the CEV and rebate or surcharge. - CNA/ck This may be in line with another appeal earlier

More 'green' cars please
BTW in Jun 2011 after "a year delay"
Singapore launches electric car test bedhttp://motoring.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story/A1Story20110625-285917.html
Companies and organisations which participate in the EV test bed can apply for the Enhanced Technology Innovation and Development Scheme (TIDES-PLUS). Under the scheme vehicle taxes such as certificate of entitlement and road tax, are waived for an initial period of six years.
