Key Takeaways
- Dominant Scale: Over 150,000 charging ports operating across all 63 provinces of Vietnam, ensuring average station spacing of under 3.5 km in cities and along all 12 major national expressways.
- Free Charging Incentive: Comprehensive free charging program active through February 10, 2029 (10 free sessions/mo for personal passenger cars, 20 sessions/mo for commercial EC Vans, off-peak night slots for taxis).
- Transparent Tariffs: Standard pricing outside free quota is 3,858 VND/kWh (incl. VAT). Anti-idle fee of 1,000 VND/min begins 10 minutes after reaching 100% SoC.
- International Footprint: Rapid expansion in Indonesia (Jakarta EV Hub 8,750 m², 29 Jasamarga rest stops), Philippines (600 charging + 1,200 swap stations in Bataan, Clean Fuel partnership), and India (Roadgrid partnership).
- Dual Battery Sourcing: Backed by localized Gotion High-Tech LFP cell manufacturing in Ha Tinh (Vietnam) alongside CATL ternary NMC packs.
The V-Green Mission: Charging Precedes the Vehicle
Range anxiety remains the single greatest psychological barrier to EV adoption. Rather than waiting for electric vehicle volume to justify charging investments, V-Green Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong deployed a capital-intensive "infrastructure-first" model. Investing over $400 million, V-Green blanketed Vietnam with 150,000 charging ports, achieving station density that exceeds gasoline fueling stations in tier-1 and tier-2 urban centers.
Official Free Charging Policy Through February 2029
To decisively accelerate the transition from internal combustion engines to electric mobility, V-Green introduced the most generous nationwide charging subsidy in global EV history: valid through February 10, 2029.
- Personal Passenger EVs (White Plates): 10 free charging sessions per calendar month.
- Commercial Fleet Vehicles (EC Van): 20 free charging sessions per calendar month.
- Electric Taxis (Yellow Plates): 100% free charging during overnight off-peak hours (23:00 to 06:00) and weekend afternoon slots (14:00 to 16:00, Friday through Sunday).
- Standard Non-Subsidized Tariff: 3,858 VND per kWh (inclusive of VAT), remaining approximately 60% cheaper per kilometer than equivalent petrol costs.
International Expansion: Indonesia, Philippines, and India
V-Green is actively exporting its turnkey charging infrastructure model across the Asia-Pacific region. In Indonesia, V-Green inaugurated a flagship 8,750 m² EV Hub in Jakarta while partnering with state toll operator PT Jasamarga to equip 29 Trans-Java rest stops with ultra-fast dispensers. In the Philippines, an agreement with the provincial government of Bataan will deploy 600 charging stations and 1,200 two-wheeler battery swapping points, complemented by a Clean Fuel commercial network rollout. In India, V-Green has partnered with Roadgrid to establish DC corridors linking Tamil Nadu, Chennai, and New Delhi.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Can non-VinFast vehicles charge at V-Green stations?
Currently, V-Green charging stations prioritize VinFast vehicles to guarantee stall availability, zero waiting queues, and automated Plug & Charge authentication. Roaming access for third-party EVs is planned for phase two in international markets.
Q:How does V-Green prevent charging stall hogging?
An automated overstay idle fee of 1,000 VND per minute is initiated 10 minutes after a vehicle reaches 100% State of Charge, incentivizing drivers to vacate charging bays promptly.
Q:Where are VinFast EV batteries manufactured?
VinFast sources LFP cells from a domestic joint-venture manufacturing facility with Gotion High-Tech in Ha Tinh, Vietnam, while utilizing high-capacity NMC ternary lithium cells from CATL for premium long-range models (VF 7, VF 8, VF 9).
