Hanoi (VNA) – VinFast on August 13 announced a strategic partnership with Plugsurfing, one of Europe’s leading EV charging service providers, to expand EV charging experience across Europe.

This collaboration allows VinFast customers to access a network of over 1 million public charging points across 24 countries through the VinFast app, offering a seamless and convenient charging experience throughout Europe.

With over a decade of experience, Plugsurfing has built a broad network of charging partners, enabling more than 2 million users to access the largest network of EV charging stations across Europe. In VinFast’s key markets of Germany, France, and the Netherlands, the network includes over 550,000 charging points.

Under the agreement, VinFast VF 6 and VF 8 owners will receive new charging cards free of charge. To ensure continuity and to preserve all accumulated benefits, charging history and account balances will transfer and remain unchanged.

This partnership addresses one of the biggest challenges in Europe’s EV market: the fragmented nature of charging infrastructure, often involving multiple providers and standalone platforms. The agreement demonstrates VinFast’s commitment to supporting consumers in their transition to green mobility, an important milestone in the company’s European growth strategy.

Le Ngoc Chi, CEO of VinFast Europe, said that by teaming up with Plugsurfing, VinFast is not only expanding its charging network but also enhancing convenience and the overall experience for its customers, further accelerating the transition to electric vehicles in Europe.

Sofia Diakhate, COO of Plugsurfing, said that the company is excited to collaborate with VinFast in shaping a brighter and more sustainable EV future for Europe. Plugsurfing is constantly developing its network to deliver a more reliable, accessible charging experience, while actively supporting VinFast’s expansion across the continent./.
