Vietnam, December 11, 2025 – Grab Vietnam has signed a partnership agreement with Charge+ a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging solution provider in Southeast Asia, with the shared goal of developing a charging and battery swapping network in Vietnam. Through this partnership, the two parties will deliver flexible charging solutions for electric cars, electric motorcycles, and e-scooters, making it easier for Grab driver-partners specifically, and EV users in general, to access reliable charging services. This agreement further reaffirms the long-term commitment of Grab Vietnam and Charge+ to actively contributing to the promotion of green mobility and supporting the Net Zero roadmap in Vietnam.
Mr. Ma Tuan Trong, CEO of Grab Vietnam, stated: “Grab fully supports Vietnam’s green transition directives and is continuously stepping up collaboration with relevant partners to address the challenges of this transition. We are delighted to further expand our partner portfolio in the EV ecosystem through this agreement with Charge+. With Charge+’s experience in developing charging systems across Southeast Asia, combined with Grab’s advantages in technology, user insights, and local market demand, we believe this collaboration will contribute to solving the charging station equation in Vietnam. This is our way of joining hands to create a sustainable EV ecosystem that effectively supports both Grab driver-partners and the broader community.”
Mr. Goh Chee Kiong, CEO of Charge+, shared: “Charge+ is pleased to partner Grab, one of the most proactive companies in supporting the green transition in Vietnam, to enable a smoother and more sustainable experience for consumers. As a leading EV charging company serving Southeast Asia, Charge+ is strongly committed to rolling out an extensive charging network in Vietnam to reach 5,000 charging points by 2030, to serve Grab driver-partners and other EV drivers at large. Our partnership with Grab brings together two like-minded companies in the pursuit of making electric vehicles the convenient choice for Vietnamese drivers.”
In addition to special preferential policies on charging costs exclusively for Grab driver-partners, Grab Vietnam and Charge+ will focus on deep technical and technological cooperation to develop the Charge+ charging network to better serve EV users in Vietnam. Specifically:
● Grab will facilitate technical infrastructure development and API integration to connect and display information regarding Charge+’s charging and battery swapping network on the Grab platform. This will enhance transaction processing capabilities and provide real-time data to support Grab driver-partners during their use of EVs.
● Grab and Charge+ will cooperate to develop the charging and battery swapping network. Leveraging Grab’s data capabilities, operational network, and market demand insights, the two parties will research and deploy charging points at optimal locations, ensuring users can easily access the service.
Grab driver-partner, Mr. Ho Vinh Thanh shared: “Due to the specific nature of our work, the charging needs of ride-hailing drivers are often different from those of EV users for personal purposes. We require a charging network that is extensive and dense enough for us to access it anytime, and the charging speed must be fast. This way, we can maximize our time on the road and secure our daily earnings.”
