When planning a trip, most people think about where they want to go, how much the ticket costs, and how comfortable the journey will be. But have you ever considered what kind of vehicle you’ll be travelling in?
Electric vehicles are becoming a bigger part of the transportation conversation, and they are no longer limited to cars and motorbikes. Electric buses and vans are now offering travellers another way to get around.
For travellers in Cambodia, EVGO Express is bringing this option to intercity and cross-border journeys with its fully electric fleet. Whether you are planning a trip from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap or heading across the border to Ho Chi Minh City, EVGO offers modern, electric routes to consider for your next journey.
What Makes EVGO Express Different?
The main thing that sets EVGO Express apart is its 100% electric fleet. All vehicles are fully electric, giving passengers the option to travel in a vehicle powered by electricity rather than a conventional fuel-powered engine.
EVGO operates two distinct vehicle types tailored specifically to the distance and style of each route:
- The EV Bus Business Class (Premium Coach): A spacious coach featuring a 2+1 seating layout and 25 berths, designed specifically for long-distance journeys.
- The EV Van: A premium, zero-emission electric minivan with 8 to 13 seats and air conditioning, perfect for quick, efficient intercity travel.
Choosing an electric vehicle doesn’t mean you have to give up the things that matter during a trip. You can still look for a comfortable seat, great onboard amenities, and a route that fits your plans.
Enjoy Business Class Comfort on EVGO’s Electric Bus
For cross-border travellers, a long-distance journey is about more than simply getting from one destination to another. Having space to stretch your legs, stay connected, and relax along the way can make a world of difference, especially when you are on the road for several hours.
EVGO’s premium electric bus service available exclusively on the Phnom Penh ↔ Ho Chi Minh City route lists exceptional Business Class amenities to elevate your trip:
- Massage Function: Heated leather seats with an integrated massage function let you unwind during the ride.
- Charging Facilities: Individual USB charging ports at every seat keep your devices powered throughout the journey.
