VinFast, and E.ON Drive have joined forces to establish a charging infrastructure for VinFast in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The two companies will collaborate on installing both internal charging points for service centers and customer charging stations at VinFast’s retail network. The aim is to make e-mobility more convenient for customers.
E.ON Drive will play a key role in developing a customized charging infrastructure that meets the needs of VinFast customers. The first phase of the project will include around 200 AC and DC (150 kW) charging points, with both private and public access. E.ON Drive will take charge of everything from selecting the right charging hardware to technical analysis and planning, as well as installation and operation of the charging points.
