District 5 - the bustling center of Chợ Lớn with a high density of commercial houses and a large number of people visiting hospitals every day. See the EVsafe electric vehicle charging station solution for each type of premises and how revenue is shared with homeowners.
District 5 is the center of Chợ Lớn - one of the busiest commercial areas in TP.HCM with an extremely high density of commercial houses, plus a large number of people visiting major hospitals and medical schools every day. This is an ideal environment for electric vehicle charging stations to play their role: serving both local businesses and transient customers.
If you own a commercial house, a parking lot, or a premises near a market/hospital in District 5, this article will help you understand the characteristics of the area, the suitable charging station solution, and the revenue-sharing model when cooperating with EVsafe.
Administrative note: According to the administrative arrangement for 2025-2026, TP.HCM has abolished the district/county level. The term "District 5" in this article is used according to the old administrative name (before 1/7/2025) for easy searching and positioning according to habits, not the current administrative unit name.
Characteristics of District 5 Area
District 5 is closely associated with Chợ Lớn - the traditional commercial area of the Chinese community in Ho Chi Minh City, notable for its Eastern medicine street Hải Thượng Lãn Ông, Bình Tây Market, An Đông Plaza shopping center, and thousands of street-front houses doing business on major streets like Trần Hưng Đạo, Nguyễn Trãi, and An Dương Vương. The density of small-scale households - from pharmacies, restaurants, mini hotels to wholesale stores - is among the highest in the city.
In addition, District 5 is also home to major medical facilities like Chợ Rẫy Hospital and medical training institutions, resulting in a large number of people, including patients' relatives and medical students, coming and going every day - the demand for parking and charging electric motorcycles in this area is always high. Housing in District 5 is mainly old street-front houses, with fewer new high-rise apartments compared to other districts, so most of the charging demand is associated with business premises and parking lots rather than apartments.
Demand for electric motorcycle charging in District 5
- Street-front households: owners of shops and wholesale employees at Chợ Lớn need charging spots right on the premises while doing business all day, but the household electrical outlets in old street-front houses often lack sufficient power capacity and are not safe for long-term charging.
- Parking lots near markets/hospitals: the large number of vehicles coming and going every day around Chợ Rẫy Hospital, Bình Tây Market, and An Đông Plaza - creates a demand for fast charging while parking by the hour or by the day.
- Houses with rental rooms: many houses in District 5 combine business on the ground floor with rental rooms on the upper floors, creating an additional group of people in need of charging services.
The characteristic of old street-front houses, high business density, and aging electrical infrastructure makes the installation of dedicated, fire-safe charging stations a pressing need rather than just an option.

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 - without having to rent premises at a fixed price:
- Premises owner invests in equipment: invests in installing the station, receives 90% of revenue, EVsafe keeps 10%.
- EVsafe invests entirely: no need to invest capital, receives 40% of revenue, EVsafe keeps 60%.
For homeowners doing business in District 5 - a group that usually has a steady cash flow from business activities - the self-investment model helps maximize the share and quickly recoup capital thanks to the stable flow of customers around the market. For car park owners or homeowners who do not want to invest initial capital, the EVsafe investment model is a safe choice to have a charging infrastructure without incurring costs.
