Adding electric charging stations at rest stops on 5 highways

Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) has just sent a document to the Vietnam Expressway Administration proposing to add electric charging stations at rest stops on expressways managed by VEC.

According to the report, VEC is being assigned by the Prime Minister to exploit services along the expressway and by the Ministry of Transport to be the investor of 5 expressway projects with 9 rest stops and 3 bus stops.

Regarding the 7 rest stops currently in operation, VEC leaders said that at the time of investment in construction of these rest stops, there were no regulations requiring rest stops to have areas for installing electric charging posts and electric charging equipment.

Considering the current Circular No. 09/2024 of the Ministry of Transport, rest stops must arrange areas for installing electric charging posts and electric charging equipment, so VEC proposes to add the category of electric charging stations and auxiliary works for electric charging stations. It is expected that each rest stop will have at least 30 charging locations on each side of the station; a transformer station serving the charging station and infrastructure system.

For the 2 rest stops that have not been constructed, VEC proposes to update the charging station items and related works into the overall site design and total project investment documents. For the 3 rest stops, VEC proposes to update the charging station items into the design of the rest stops.

Currently, the Ministry of Transport has assigned VEC as the investor of 5 expressway projects including Noi Bai-Lao Cai, Cau Gie-Ninh Binh, Da Nang-Quang Ngai, Ho Chi Minh City-Long Thanh-Dau Giay, Ben Luc-Long Thanh./.
