Electric vehicles increase rapidly, Hanoi boarding houses face the problem of safe charging
According to a survey by Lao Dong Newspaper, currently many rented houses and mini-apartments in Hanoi do not allow tenants to use or charge electric vehicles.
Just by browsing rental posts on social networks, it is not difficult to encounter announcements such as: "no electric vehicle acceptance", "electric vehicle charging ban".
Contacting a landlord in Cau Giay ward, Mr. Tuan (character name has been changed) said that the building currently does not allow tenants to park electric vehicles underground as well as charge electric vehicles due to concerns about the risk of fire and explosion.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Dinh Quoc Dan - Deputy Director of the Institute of Construction Science and Technology (Ministry of Construction) - said that currently many facilities do not allow electric vehicle charging because there are no technical solutions as well as safe charging systems. The Ministry of Construction has recognized this issue and started assigning research tasks, but the development of regulations will take more time due to its complexity. See more...
