Hanoi tackles EV charging gaps in older apartment blocks
On 23 October, Hanoi's Press and Broadcasting Agency and Cau Giay Ward held a seminar on removing infrastructure barriers for EV charging in apartment buildings. Dr Hoang Duong Tung of the Vietnam Clean Air Network reported that Hanoi has 2,313 charging stations with 10,209 ports for cars and around 1,650 battery swap cabinets for motorcycles, yet charging in apartment complexes built before 2022 remains insufficient or overloaded because older buildings lack suitable power systems and fire safety designs.
Why it matters
Apartment buildings are a key charging location for urban EV owners, so addressing design and capacity shortfalls in legacy housing stock will unlock demand and guide CPOs on where to deploy infrastructure. The seminar signals regulatory attention that could shape retrofit standards and procurement opportunities in Vietnam's capital.
