District 10 is one of the most densely populated educational and medical areas in Ho Chi Minh City, with a high concentration of student dorms and apartments. See EVsafe's electric vehicle charging station solutions tailored to each type of premises and how revenue can be shared with property owners.
District 10 is home to many major universities and hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, resulting in a large number of students and renters in the area year-round. It is also one of the areas with the highest density of dorms and apartments, while the infrastructure for safe electric vehicle charging is still largely underdeveloped.
If you are managing a dorm, apartment, or commercial property in District 10, this article will help you understand the characteristics of the area, the suitable charging station solutions for each type of property, and the revenue-sharing model when partnering with EVsafe.
Administrative note: According to the administrative arrangement from 2025-2026, Ho Chi Minh City has abolished the district level. The term "District 10" in this article refers to the old administrative name (before July 1, 2025) for ease of reference and location, and not the current administrative unit name.
Characteristics of District 10
District 10 is notable for its cluster of universities and colleges (including Medicine and Pharmacy, Pedagogy, Saigon, and many others located on or near the premises), as well as major hospitals that attract a large number of students, young workers, and patients' families who rent long-term. As a result, a network of dorms and rental rooms has sprung up along the axes of Su Van Hanh, Thanh Thai, Ngo Gia Tu, and Bac Hai.
In addition to boarding houses, District 10 also has many residential apartment complexes like Ngô Gia Tự, Nguyễn Kim, Bắc Hải, and the Vạn Hạnh Mall commercial center - a shopping and dining destination that attracts a large number of motorbikes every day. Nguyễn Tri Phương Market and the 3 Tháng 2 and Lý Thường Kiệt streets are also bustling commercial areas.
A common characteristic of the area is its young population, with a rapidly increasing rate of electric motorbike users (especially students who prioritize low operating costs), but most boarding houses and old apartments do not have dedicated charging systems - tenants have to charge their vehicles using household electrical outlets in their rooms, which poses a high risk of fire.
Demand for electric motorbike charging in District 10
There are three clear groups of demand in District 10:
- Student boarding houses: high density of electric motorbikes per room, but landlords have not invested in safe charging infrastructure - the risk of fires from overnight charging in closed rooms is a problem that has been warned about many times.
- Apartment complexes: residents need stable charging points in parking garages or lots to avoid temporary and makeshift charging arrangements.
- Commercial areas (Vạn Hạnh Mall and surrounding areas): a large number of transient customers, with a demand for fast charging while shopping or parking for short periods.
With a high density of young residents and already competitive rental costs, investing in safe charging stations can be a competitive advantage for landlords to retain long-term tenants.

Revenue sharing model for premises owners
EVsafe cooperates to share revenue in real-time, with transparent reconciliation via the app on the 15th and 30th of each month - not fixed rent for premises:
- Premises owners invest in equipment: invest in installing stations, receive 90% of revenue, EVsafe keeps 10%.
- EVsafe invests entirely: no need to invest, receive 40% of revenue, EVsafe keeps 60%.
For hostel owners in District 10 - a group that often prioritizes reducing initial investment costs - the EVsafe investment model is a suitable choice to have safe charging infrastructure without incurring capital, while increasing the attractiveness of the hostel. For apartment building management boards or commercial premises owners with available budgets, the self-investment model helps maximize the shared portion and recoup investments faster.

Frequently asked questions
Can a small boarding house install an electric vehicle charging station?
Yes. EVsafe surveys the area and actual electrical load to propose a suitable configuration, even for small-scale boarding houses with just a few rooms.
How long does it take to install a charging station in District 10?
Typically 5-10 working days from survey to when the charging pole is operational, depending on the level of renovation needed for the existing electrical infrastructure.
Is single-phase electricity sufficient for installing a charging station?
Yes. Most boarding houses and old apartments in District 10 use single-phase electricity, and EVsafe will survey and propose a corresponding charging pole configuration.
Is the charging station safe in terms of fire prevention for densely populated boarding houses?
Yes. The equipment and installation records comply with current fire prevention regulations, reducing the risk of fires compared to residents pulling charging cables into their rooms - a common cause of boarding house fires.
