VinFast, a subsidiary of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, announced its plan at the inauguration of the first electric vehicle chargers at PVOIL petrol station in Cat Hai District, the northern city of Haiphong on July 4.

The cooperation with PVOIL to develop a system of chargers at filling stations nationwide is part of VinFast’s roadmap towards the goal of installing 150,000 charging points across the country this year.

This charging station included one 150-kW fast charger and five 60kW others, which can refill 12 electric vehicles (EV) at the same time.

The two Vietnamese enterprises will continue to seek suitable locations to expand the number of charging stations.

A representative from VinFast Trading Vietnam said this cooperation will be a premise for VinFast and PVOIL to create a comprehensive EV support ecosystem, providing an increasingly flexible and convenient experience to all customers.
