Characteristics of Ward Vuon Lai
With an area of only 1.27 km² but a population of around 104,000 people, the population density of Ward Vuon Lai reaches approximately 81,950 people/km² - belonging to the highest group in HCMC. This is a long-standing residential area, characterized by small frontage houses, deep alleys intertwined with many rows of boarding houses, rental houses, and some old apartments.
A high population density means a high density of motorbikes/electric motorbikes per square meter of land - while most townhouses and small alleys here do not have private yards or spacious garages to arrange safe charging infrastructure.

Demand for electric motorbike charging in Vườn Lài ward
With a population density ranking among the top in the city, the demand for electric motorbike charging in Vườn Lài ward focuses on two main groups:
- Room rentals, rented rooms: tenants have to charge their motorbikes through household electrical outlets in their rooms because there are no shared charging points - the risk of electrical fires when pulling charging cables through the night in a confined space, with a high population density, further increases the risk of spreading if an incident occurs.
- Apartment buildings, multi-story rented houses: lack of parking areas with separate charging infrastructure, residents temporarily draw electricity from the ground floor.
The high population density is also an advantage: a charging station placed in the right location can serve a large number of users within a very short radius, helping to optimize revenue per station.

Revenue sharing model for location owners
EVsafe cooperates in transparent revenue sharing in real-time, reconciling through the app on the 15th and 30th of every month:
- Location owners invest in equipment themselves: receive 90% of revenue, EVsafe keeps 10%.
- EVsafe invests in all equipment: owners do not need to invest capital, receive 40% of revenue, EVsafe keeps 60%.
*(Illustration, not a commitment:* a 10-port charging station, price ~4,000đ/charge, average ~25 charges/day → estimated gross revenue ~3 million đồng/month/station. With high population density like in Vườn Lài ward, the actual number of charges per day can be higher than this average - a specific survey is needed to get accurate data.)*
For hostel owners in densely populated areas like Vườn Lài ward - a group that often prioritizes reducing initial investment costs - the EVsafe investment model is a suitable choice to have safe charging infrastructure immediately.
