In the context of constantly fluctuating world gasoline prices, travel costs are increasingly becoming a burden for urban residents, especially workers, electric vehicles, especially electric motorbikes, are emerging as a reasonable choice.
However, the biggest problem is not the car price, but the charging infrastructure.
Reality shows that although electric motorbikes are becoming more and more popular, most people living in apartments are still hesitant when deciding to switch. The reason is very clear: "Where to charge, is it safe, is it convenient?".
The Prime Minister's telegram pointed out this "bottleneck" when determining: The charging station infrastructure in urban areas and apartments is currently lacking and not synchronized, even putting pressure on the power system and posing a potential risk of fire and explosion.
In major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the trend of people living in apartments or urban areas is increasing. This is where the largest demand is concentrated for vehicles suitable for short travel distances and low costs. That is electric motorbikes.
Therefore, the development of charging stations in apartments not only solves personal needs, but also creates a spillover effect. When residents see that electrical charging is convenient, safe, and the cost is clear, they will be ready to switch.
Charging infrastructure is the decisive factor in the market. The image of a large number of people in Hanoi buying electric vehicles is proving this. When the charging station system is widespread, especially right in their homes, the cost of using electric vehicles will become clearer and more attractive than gasoline vehicles. An electric motorbike can save significant operating costs each month, especially for middle-income workers.
Investing in charging stations is actually investing in "consumer trust". Further, the development of charging station infrastructure in apartments not only serves personal needs, but is also associated with a larger goal: Green transportation transformation, emission reduction and sustainable urban construction.
Electric motorbikes, if popularized, will contribute to reducing air pollution, which is an increasingly serious problem in major cities. At the same time, this is also a step in line with the energy transition trend that Vietnam is aiming for.
The new policy, with a very clear meaning: Paving the way for electric vehicles to enter life, starting from the closest place, which are apartment buildings, where millions of people live every day.
