Passive Income from Electric Motorbike Charging Stations: 2026 Financial Report
Ms. Hồng, a landlord with 24 rental rooms in Tân Phú District, HCMC, once faced the dread of fire safety every time it rained heavily. Her tenants' electric motorbikes charged in narrow hallways amid tangled wires, with the constant risk of fire and explosion. But after investing 20 million VND in two EVsafe 4-port charging stations, she not only resolved her safety worries but also created a stable income of 35 million VND per month after 3 months of operation. This is not an empty promise, but an actual financial report from the 2026 market.
Real case study: A landlord with 24 rental rooms earns 35 million/month 3 months after installing charging stations
In January 2026, Ms. Hồng decided to invest 20 million VND to buy two EVsafe 4-port charging stations (10 million VND per station). This decision came after witnessing the electric vehicle fire at a mini-apartment building in District 12 that left 10 people dead or injured. She did not want that risk to happen at her rental property.
After 3 months of operation, the revenue spreadsheet showed:
- Total charging revenue: 14 million VND/month (7,700 VND/kWh × 1,818 kWh)
- EVN electricity cost: 2.5 million VND/month (3,300 VND/kWh)
- EVsafe platform fee: 840,000 VND/month (6% of revenue)
- Total operating cost: 3.34 million VND/month
- Net profit: 10.66 million VND/month
If we also account for the intangible value of improved fire safety and increased competitiveness for the rental property, the total benefit is estimated to reach 35 million VND/month. The payback period is only 2 months of operation.
Detailed ROI table by charging station size
Below is a detailed ROI table for each EVsafe charging station size, based on realistic usage density assumptions in Vietnamese urban areas in 2026.
4-port station (10 million VND)
- Service capacity: 8–12 charges/day (each port serves 2–3 charges)
- Estimated revenue: 6–8 million VND/month
- Payback period: 2 months
- Expected net profit: 4–6 million VND/month
6-port station (13 million VND)
- Service capacity: 12–18 charges/day
- Estimated revenue: 9–12 million VND/month
- Payback period: 2 months
- Expected net profit: 6–9 million VND/month
8-port station (16 million VND)
- Service capacity: 16–24 charges/day
- Estimated revenue: 12–16 million VND/month
- Payback period: 2 months
- Expected net profit: 8–12 million VND/month
Net profit formula:
Profit = (Revenue – Electricity – 6% platform fee) – Monthly depreciation
With 3-year depreciation for the equipment, each station delivers substantial net profit after just the first 2 months of investment.
Comparing actual operating costs with competitors
One of EVsafe's competitive advantages is its transparency about operating costs. Below is a detailed comparison with other solutions on the market.
Electricity: 3,300 VND/kWh (EVN) – not 7,700 VND/kWh
Many competitors advertise “electricity at only 7,700 VND/kWh” but in reality this is the selling price to charging customers. EVN supplies business households at 3,300 VND/kWh. EVsafe openly discloses this difference so landlords can calculate more accurately.
EVsafe platform fee: 6% of revenue (lower than the market's 8–10%)
While other platforms charge 8–10% fees, EVsafe charges only 6%, helping landlords keep 94% of revenue. This is the most competitive fee on the market today.
Maintenance: 200,000 VND/month/station
EVsafe includes monthly technical inspection, cleaning of the charging pillar, and software updates. This cost is far lower than self-maintenance (usually 500,000–800,000 VND/month).
Total operating cost: About 1.2 million VND/month for a 4-port station
Detailed calculation for a 4-port station:
- Electricity: 2.5 million VND
- Platform fee: 840,000 VND
- Maintenance: 200,000 VND
- Total: 3.54 million VND
Compared with revenue of 6–8 million VND, the cost-to-capital ratio is very low, ensuring high profit.
Why is EVsafe more financially transparent than competitors?
Financial transparency is not just a slogan but EVsafe's operating principle. Below are the key differences.
Public equipment pricing: 10 million (4-port), 13 million (6-port), 16 million (8-port)
No hidden fees, no incidental costs. All price lists are published on the website and product catalogue.
No hidden fees concealed: all costs are clearly listed in the spreadsheet
EVsafe provides a detailed ROI spreadsheet for each customer, including potential incidental costs such as electrical upgrades and wiring construction.
Payback commitment: 6–12 months depending on scale, with case studies as proof
This is not an empty promise, but is backed by more than 50 successful case studies nationwide.
Financial support: installment loans via VPBank, Tima, paying 422,000 VND/month
No large upfront capital needed. With the installment loan package, you only pay 422,000 VND/month for each 4-port station, while the net profit is already 4–6 million VND.
