EV charger enterprise

Leading global companies in the field of charging station construction, such as Siemens, Charge+, and ABB, have also expressed their intention to expand the charging station market in Vietnam.

Policy Support

Enlightenment Stage

It can be said that the development of charging stations is an inevitable trend. However, in the Vietnamese market, this field is still in its infancy and therefore faces many difficulties and challenges in practice. In this context, if high-quality development of charging infrastructure is to be promoted simultaneously, the country must formulate corresponding supportive policies.

Highway

Chen Guanghe, Deputy Director of the Department of Science, Technology and Environment at the Ministry of Transport in Vietnam, emphasized that promoting simultaneous development of charging infrastructure is a crucial step towards enhancing the range capacity for electric vehicles in Vietnam. The Ministry has revised its standards for highway service areas by mandating installation requirements for charging stations.

Urban area

The Ministry of Transport also provides suggestions and recommendations for the development of charging infrastructure, such as formulating regulations to install charging piles in urban and residential areas, and requiring the installation of public charging stations on newly invested or renovated infrastructure such as train stations, service areas, shopping centers, hotels, office buildings, and restaurants.

Introduce policies

The Ministry of Transport in Vietnam has also proposed introducing preferential policies in areas such as investment, loans, tax exemptions, power supply, scientific research, technology transfer and R&D capabilities to expedite the construction of charging infrastructure. Furthermore，some companies have suggested reducing or exempting import taxes on components，land taxes and corporate income taxes.
