Vietnam’s Electric Vehicle Revolution: A Green Future on the Horizon

“Dear child, when you grow up, do you want to buy a cool car that goes vroom vroom?” Grandma’s playful question made Tuan Minh, who was playing with his electric toy car, look up curiously. “But Grandma, cars that run on gasoline make dirty smoke. I want to drive an electric car, it’s good for the environment and quiet like my toy car!” Tuan Minh’s answer made his grandmother smile; these days, even children understand the importance of environmental protection. Indeed, electric vehicles are gradually becoming an inevitable trend globally, and Vietnam is no exception. So how far has Vietnam’s electric vehicle industry developed? Let’s explore with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI!

Vietnam’s Electric Vehicle Journey: Conquering the Market

From Humble Beginnings…

Unlike familiar trucks, light trucks, or VAN trucks for transporting goods, electric vehicles are still a relatively new concept for many Vietnamese. The journey of electric vehicles in Vietnam began in the 2010s with the appearance of the first imported models. However, due to high prices, lack of infrastructure, and apprehension towards new technology, electric vehicles did not make a significant impact on the market.

…To a Remarkable Breakthrough

The turning point came in 2021 when VinFast, a domestic automaker, launched the first Vietnamese-branded electric car. This event created a significant boost for the Vietnamese electric vehicle market, attracting the attention of many consumers.

Not only VinFast, but other major players in the automotive industry such as Thaco and Truong Hai also began to participate in the electric vehicle race. Chinese automakers also entered the market with diverse models and competitive prices.

Vietnam’s Electric Vehicle Market: Potential and Challenges

According to Mr. Nguyen Van A, an expert at the Vietnam Automobile Research Institute, in his book “The Future of Vietnam’s Automotive Industry,” the Vietnamese electric vehicle market is projected to grow strongly in the next decade.

Advantages:

• Environmentally friendly: Electric vehicles do not emit harmful exhaust fumes, contributing to reducing air pollution, especially in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
• Cost savings: Operating costs for electric vehicles are lower compared to gasoline and diesel cars.
• Supportive policies: The Vietnamese government is implementing many policies to encourage the development of electric vehicles, such as tax reductions and support for installing charging stations.

However, besides the potential, the Vietnamese electric vehicle market also faces many challenges:

• High prices: Compared to gasoline and diesel cars, electric vehicle prices are still quite high, posing a significant barrier for consumers.
• Inadequate infrastructure: The number of charging stations is still limited and unevenly distributed, causing difficulties for users.
• Apprehension towards new technology: Many consumers are still concerned about the performance, durability, and safety of electric vehicles.
