V-Green to advance large-scale EV infra with new partnerships

MANILA: VinFast’s V-Green is looking to advance its large-scale electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure system by inking partnerships with local authorities and businesses in the Philippines.

Particularly, the company has signed with the Provincial Government of Bataan and Cleanfuel to expand EV charging and battery swapping infrastructure in high-traffic areas across the provinces of Bataan and Cavite.

“These initiatives support V-Green’s long-term goal of delivering a more convenient ownership experience for both electric car and electric two-wheeler users, helping accelerate EV adoption in the Philippines,” the Vietnamese electric car charging infrastructure firm wrote in a press release.

Province-wide operation in Bataan

Through a memorandum of understanding signed between V-Green and the Provincial Government of Bataan, the two parties will collaborate on the planning, deployment, and operation of a province-wide EV charging network.

Per V-Green, the said network will cover one city and 11 municipalities, positioning Bataan as a leading model for EV adoption in the Philippines. 

Specifically, V-Green plans to deploy some 600 charging stations and 1,200 battery swapping stations across Bataan.

The company will be responsible for the supply, installation, operation, and maintenance of the charging network, while the Provincial Government of Bataan will facilitate permits, endorse strategic locations, and coordinate with local government units.

“This collaboration reflects our commitment to advancing sustainable mobility in our province. By working with V-Green, we are building the foundation for an EV ecosystem that promotes innovation, strengthens environmental responsibility, and prioritizes long-term development,” Bataan Governor Jose Enrique Garcia III was quoted as saying.

EV charging stations in Dasma

In parallel, V-Green formalized its partnership with Cleanfuel to explore the development of EV charging stations at high-traffic fuel stations in Dasmariñas, Cavite.

As one of the leading independent fuel companies in the Philippines, with a network of more than 100 stations across Luzon, Cleanfuel also shares V-Green’s vision of promoting greener mobility and enhancing the customer experience. 

The collaboration — V-Green pointed out — will focus on identifying suitable locations and the potential integration of EV infrastructure into Cleanfuel’s existing retail network, making charging more convenient by allowing users to charge at familiar stops along their journeys.

“Expanding EV infrastructure requires both scale and accessibility. Through our partnerships with government and private sector stakeholders, we are building a charging network that supports real-world usage and makes electric mobility more practical for Filipino drivers,” V-Green Global Chief Executive Officer Nguyen Anh Quynh said.

Backbone for VinFast e-scooters, EVs

The new agreements lay important groundwork for VinFast’s upcoming launch of electric scooters in the Philippines, ensuring battery swapping infrastructure availability from day one. 

At the same time, the expanded charging network will continue enhancing convenience for existing VinFast electric car users, contributing to a more comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem in the country.
