HCMC – Authorities in Hanoi have shortlisted 115 sites inside Beltway No. 1 for EV charging stations after reviewing nearly 500 potential locations.
Hanoi’s Department of Construction has reported on the progress of implementing the city government’s directives on transitioning to green transportation.
The local government has initially identified nearly 500 potential locations for EV charging stations at bus terminals, parking lots, parks, train stations, residential complexes, and urban areas.
Charging stations at major bus terminals such as Giap Bat and Gia Lam have been operational since June and July, while My Dinh station is expected to come online in the third quarter, the Vietnam News Agency reported.
