Tan Binh is one of the most populous districts in Ho Chi Minh City, located near Tan Son Nhat Airport, with a high density of boarding houses and rental rooms in the Bau Cat area. The solution is to install electric vehicle charging stations according to each type of premises and share profits with the owners of boarding houses and apartments.
Tan Binh is one of the most populous districts in Ho Chi Minh City, located near Tan Son Nhat Airport, characterized by a high density of boarding houses and rental rooms that cater to workers, employees of nearby industrial zones, and aviation industry personnel. This is also an area with a rapidly increasing rate of electric motorcycle use due to low operating costs, making it suitable for renters. This article analyzes the area's characteristics, actual charging needs, and EVsafe's solutions for each type of premises in Tan Binh.
Note on Administrative Boundaries: According to the administrative unit arrangement from 2025-2026, Ho Chi Minh City has abolished the district/county level, reorganizing into wards/communes directly under the city. The term "Tan Binh District" in this article is used in the familiar and old territorial sense for easy reference, not as the current official administrative unit name.
Characteristics of Tan Binh District
Tan Binh is located in a special position: surrounding Tan Son Nhat Airport, directly connected to central districts via the Cong Hoa - Trung Chinh - Hoang Van Thu axis. Some characteristics that shape the demand for charging stations here include:
- Bau Cat Area - one of the residential areas with the highest density of boarding houses and rental rooms in the district, serving a large number of workers and new immigrants to the city.
- Trung Chinh - Cong Hoa Axis - a major route connecting Tan Binh with central districts and the airport, with a large volume of motorbikes traveling day and night (due to the continuous operation of flights).
- The population is dense, with average income - most residents are renters, office workers, airport service staff, and logistics personnel - a group that quickly switches to electric motorbikes due to the daily gasoline cost problem.
- There are few large-scale high-rise apartment buildings compared to Binh Thanh or District 7 - mainly townhouses, rented rooms, and some medium-sized apartments along major streets.
Demand for electric motorbike charging in Tan Binh
With a high density of rented houses, the problem of electric motorbike charging in Tan Binh is different from that in districts with many high-rise apartments: the issue is not "apartment basement", but hundreds of small rented rooms without a safe and private charging space. The common reality:
- Renters have to pull long charging cables from their rooms to the shared parking area, or bring charging batteries into their cramped rooms - with a high risk of electrical fires, especially in old rented houses with inadequate electrical systems.
- Landlords have difficulty controlling the use of electricity for charging motorbikes in each room, which can lead to disputes over electricity costs or overloading of the shared electrical system.
- Airport staff working shifts need flexible electric motorbike charging solutions that operate 24/7, according to their non-fixed schedules.
This is an area where a centralized charging solution, managed by individual accounts, can directly solve both safety and electricity cost management issues for landlords.
EVsafe's solution for different types of premises in Tan Binh
| Loại mặt bằng | Đặc điểm tại Tân Bình | Giải pháp EVsafe |
|---|---|---|
| Nhà trọ, phòng cho thuê (khu Bàu Cát, dọc Trường Chinh) | Nhiều phòng nhỏ, khó quản lý điện sạc riêng từng phòng | Trạm sạc xe máy điện cho nhà trọ |
| Chung cư quy mô vừa dọc Cộng Hoà, Hoàng Văn Thụ | Hầm/bãi xe chung, cư dân đa dạng độ tuổi | Trạm sạc xe máy điện cho chung cư |
| Bãi giữ xe gần khu vực sân bay, khu công nghiệp lân cận | Lượng xe gửi theo ca làm việc, hoạt động ngoài giờ hành chính | Trạm sạc xe máy điện cho bãi đỗ xe |
With the characteristic of many-room boarding houses, EVsafe designs a management system based on personal accounts - each tenant has their own charging code, so the landlord does not need to manually calculate electricity costs for each room.
Revenue-sharing model for landlords in Tan Binh
With a high population density and continuous charging demand according to work shifts (including nighttime due to the nearby airport), the Tan Binh area has stable charging potential throughout the day. Two cooperation models:
- The landlord invests in the equipment themselves: the landlord receives 90% of the revenue, and EVsafe receives 10%.
- EVsafe invests in all the equipment: the landlord does not need to invest capital, and receives 40% of the revenue, while EVsafe receives 60%.
Illustrative figures (not a commitment of revenue): a 10-port charging station, with an average of ~25 charging sessions/day, at a price of ~4,000đ/session → estimated gross revenue of ~3 million VND/month/station. With a row of 30-50 room boarding houses investing in 1-2 stations, the landlord can receive an additional approximately 2.7-5.4 million VND/month - a stable income outside of room rental fees. With the EVsafe investment model, the landlord receives approximately 1.2 million VND/month/station without investing capital, suitable for landlords who want to try out the model before expanding. Actual revenue depends on the number of rooms, the percentage of tenants using electric motorcycles, and the specific location - which is surveyed before cooperation is signed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a dormitory with many rooms manage separate electricity charges for each tenant?
Yes. The EVsafe system provides a separate account/code for charging for each user, paying through the app according to actual charging sessions - the dormitory owner does not need to manually calculate electricity costs or worry about disputes between rooms.
Is the charging station operational 24/7, suitable for night shift workers?
Yes. The system operates continuously, suitable for employees working shifts in the nearby airport and industrial areas who need to charge their vehicles outside office hours.
What is the cost of installing a charging station for a row of dormitories?
If you choose the EVsafe investment model, the dormitory owner does not incur initial costs. If you invest yourself to enjoy a higher sharing rate (90%), the specific cost depends on the number of charging poles and existing electrical conditions, which will be reported after the survey.
Can the old electrical system in the dormitory meet the requirements?
The EVsafe technical team will check the actual electrical load before installation. If the electrical system is not sufficient, a partial upgrade may be required - specific advice will be provided during the survey.
