JAKARTA - Electric car manufacturer from Vietnam, VinFast, further strengthens its commitment to supporting the transition to clean mobility through the development of an integrated electric vehicle ecosystem in the Southeast Asia region.

VinFast Indonesia's Chief Executive Officer, Kariyanto Hardjosoemarto, said that Indonesia is one of the strategic markets for VinFast thanks to the large population and high growth potential. Therefore, his party is ready to commit further.

"The adoption of electric vehicles is still low, but this year shows rapid growth," said Kariyanto in his official statement quoted on Saturday, November 1.

"Essentially we are very ready to be with the government to go towards a green mobility transition. We continue to be committed to growing with this nation by creating more jobs," he continued.

As part of the long-term plan, VinFast targets the construction of around 63 thousand public electric vehicle charging stations (SPKLU) in Indonesia.

At the regional level, the total SPKLU to be developed in Southeast Asia will reach 100 thousand units by 2030, including Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

To support this target, VinFast prepared an investment of US$1.2 billion or around Rp. 18.6 trillion. This fund is focused on building charging infrastructure and strengthening service networks.

In addition to infrastructure, VinFast also introduced a battery leasing business model that is claimed to reduce the cost of electric vehicle ownership by around IDR 74 million for consumers. This scheme is expected to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the new user segment.

In terms of service, VinFast currently has 22 official dealers spread across various regions, and targets networks of up to 500 full-sale service workshops including cooperation with third parties. This step is part of efforts to ensure consumer convenience and comfort in ownership of electric vehicles.

"We want customers to reach VinFast more easily. Therefore, we open showrooms in many cities and at the same time prepare adequate service networks," said Kariyanto.

In terms of production, VinFast's assembly plant in Subang, West Java, is in the final stage. The facility is planned to start production trials in December 2025, with an investment value of IDR 3.5 trillion.

Through these steps, VinFast not only focuses on selling electric vehicles, but also seeks to build ecosystems that include infrastructure, services, and manufacturing. This strategy is proof of the company's seriousness in supporting the transition to cleaner and more sustainable mobility.
