Why create a separate charging company? Simple - so his electric car brand VinFast can focus on making vehicles while V-Green handles the charging headache.

The charging investment in Vietnam is THREE TIMES larger than what was originally planned. That's some serious money being put down.

But wait - Indonesia is getting an even bigger push with 63,000 charging ports planned by the end of 2025. The price tag? A cool $300 million.

Smart business move alert: V-Green will only directly pay for 20% of the Indonesian stations. Local partners will fund the other 80%.

VinFast owners in Indonesia get a sweet deal - free charging at over 1,000 stations starting May 2025. Who doesn't love free stuff?

How fast is the charging industry growing? Last year saw 1.3 million new public charging points worldwide - that's a 30% jump in just one year.

Fast chargers now number around 2 million globally. These aren't your slow home outlets - they can juice up your car in minutes, not hours.

Will other car brands get to use these charging stations? V-Green might open up after five years - but for now, it's a VinFast exclusive club.

The bigger picture: VinFast wants to sell cars in 50 countries THIS YEAR and is building factories in the US, India, and Indonesia.

What's really being solved here? The biggest fear for potential EV buyers - getting stranded with no place to charge. It's called "range anxiety" and it's real.

The EV charging wars are heating up - Tesla has Superchargers, traditional automakers have partnerships, and now VinFast has V-Green. Who will win this electric gold rush?
