Many rest stops lack electric charging systems. To date, only 4 out of 21 rest stops put part of the electric charging system into operation; 8 stations are being deployed, while the remaining stations have not yet installed or have not yet determined the progress of completing the charging system. Notably, some stations have not yet identified the investment, management and operation unit as well as the time to put the charging station into operation. According to the Ministry of Construction, these shortcomings need to be reviewed synchronously at rest stops nationwide. To implement the Prime Ministers direction on developing electric vehicles and ensuring the formation of a continuous, synchronous, safe and convenient charging network at road rest stops, the Minister of Construction requires investors and rest stop service businesses to urgently review design documents, land fund, power supply capacity, and develop implementation plans for For each station, clearly determine the investment scale, capacity, progress of electrical connection, construction, acceptance and operation to send to the Vietnam Road Administration for monitoring. For rest stops subject to transition according to National Technical Regulation QCVN 43:2024/BGTVT, the Ministry of Construction requires the addition and completion of the electric charging system before January 1, 2027. Businesses must also soon select a unit to invest, manage and operate the charging system with sufficient financial capacity, experience and ability to deploy synchronously, meeting the increasing demand for electric vehicles in the coming time. When put into operation, it must fully meet the requirements for charging areas. The Ministry of Construction also requires the Vietnam Expressway Development Investment Corporation (VEC), the Vietnam Infrastructure Development and Financial Investment Corporation (VIDIFI) and other organizations. The Project Management Board reviews the progress of each rest stop, ensuring that when put into operation, it fully meets the requirements for charging area and technical infrastructure according to standards; Coordinate with localities and the electricity industry to remove problems with premises, electrical connections, fire prevention and fighting to speed up implementation progress. For the Peoples Committees of provinces and cities, the Minister of Construction requested to direct specialized agencies to implement National Technical Regulations on road rest stops; Support investors to overcome difficulties related to land, construction, electricity connection and periodically report the implementation of the electric charging system to the Vietnam Road Administration. The Vietnam Road Administration is assigned to continue to urge the progress of investment in electric charging systems at 21 rest stops on the North - South Eastern Expressway, instructing localities to review the charging station system at rest stops under their management; At the same time, summarize the difficulties and problems and propose solutions to report to the Ministry of Construction for consideration and handling according to authority.PTTRefer moreGrab invests in developing electric vehicle charging station infrastructure.Refer alsoFUTA EV POWER and BYD AUTO Vietnam cooperate to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructureSee moreInstalling additional electric charging stations on the North-South expresswaySee moreProposed model of socialization of investment in charging station network
