VinFast's strategic partnership with Plugsurfing, a leading provider of EV charging services in Europe, gives VinFast EV drivers access to a network of over 1 million public charging points through the VinFast app. With over 10 years of operation, Plugsurfing has built an extensive partner network, connecting over 2 million users to Europe's largest charging network.
Under the partnership, VinFast VF 6 and VF 8 owners in Europe will receive new charging cards, replacing their current ones. All charging history and account balances will be transferred, maintaining existing benefits.

In VinFast's three key markets: Germany, France, and the Netherlands, this network already includes over 550,000 charging points. The partnership with Plugsurfing addresses one of the biggest obstacles in the European EV market: the fragmented charging infrastructure due to multiple providers and individual platforms. This agreement also demonstrates VinFast's commitment to green transportation and marks a significant step in its European expansion strategy.
Le Ngoc Chi, general director of VinFast Europe, stated that the partnership with Plugsurfing helps expand the charging network effectively, ensuring convenience and a seamless experience for users, thereby promoting the transition to EVs in Europe.

Sofia Diakhate, CEO of Plugsurfing, said that the company continuously develops its charging station network to provide stable, accessible services for users, supporting VinFast's expansion in the European market.
In Europe, VinFast currently distributes two models: the VF 6 (B-segment) and the VF 8 (D-segment). The Vietnamese automaker is also actively expanding its dealer, distributor, and after-sales network in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. VinFast has partnered with ATU (Germany), Norauto (France), LKQ (Netherlands), and Fixico to provide standardized repair and maintenance services across the region.
