Grab plans to expand its electric vehicle charging network in Vietnam from approximately 400 charging ports to more than 6,000 by 2028, with nearly half of the new infrastructure to be installed in Hanoi.
The expansion follows an agreement signed between Grab Vietnam and the Hanoi city government in late June 2026 to promote green transportation, digital tourism and broader digital transformation initiatives.
Under Hanoi’s roadmap, fossil fuel-powered motorcycles will gradually face tighter restrictions, with only motorcycles meeting Euro 3 emissions standards permitted to enter the capital from 2028.
Supporting the EV Transition
Grab said the expanded charging network will serve electric cars and motorcycles from multiple manufacturers, including VinFast and BYD vehicles, as well as hybrid models from Toyota and Hyundai.
The company’s charging infrastructure complements Vietnam’s existing EV charging market, which is currently dominated by VinFast’s proprietary network of around 150,000 charging ports, points and stations.
Grab has also partnered with Charge+ to develop EV charging and battery swapping infrastructure in Vietnam, while investing in charging solutions provider Eboost.
Earlier this year, the company launched its Grab Driver app, allowing GrabCar drivers to locate charging stations, initiate charging sessions and make payments through providers including Eboost, Charge+, EV One and ChargeLink.
Investment in Shared Charging
“We invest heavily in operators of shared charging stations, ensuring that the expansion of the charging station system must meet the needs of both motorbikes and cars, thereby encouraging more and more people to switch to electric vehicles,” said Ma Tuan Trong, Managing Director of Grab Vietnam.
According to Vietnam.vn, the country has just over seven million cars but approximately 84 million two-wheelers on its roads, highlighting the importance of charging infrastructure for electric motorcycles as well as passenger vehicles.
Grab said it will continue working with its partners and Hanoi’s Department of Construction to expand shared charging infrastructure in line with the city’s growing demand for electric mobility.
