The partnership brings together industry leaders: Eboost (EVMobility) specializing in personal charging solutions, EV Power in charging station development, EV Pay in digital payment services, Rabbit EVC in integrated charging solutions, and Nova Energy in large-scale renewable energy projects.
This collaboration is a key step in strengthening Vietnam’s EV infrastructure ahead of Omoda & Jaecoo Vietnam’s planned vehicle production and assembly operations in northern Thai Binh province. The initiative aims to support green mobility and environmental sustainability.
The network will feature fast-charging stations with capacities from 30 kW to 360 kW, strategically located in major cities, shopping centers, residential areas, and along highways. Smart management technology, integrated via a mobile app, will allow users to locate charging stations, check availability, and make payments seamlessly.
To encourage EV adoption, Omoda & Jaecoo Vietnam is offering incentives for electric and hybrid vehicles. The flagship Jaecoo J7 PHEV, equipped with a Super Hybrid System (SHS), boasts a driving range of over 1,300 km on a full charge.
As a joint venture between China’s Chery Automobile and Vietnam’s Geleximco Group, Omoda & Jaecoo Vietnam is investing over $800 million in an auto assembly plant in Thai Binh. The facility, set to open in 2026, is expected to boost Vietnam’s automotive manufacturing capabilities and global competitiveness.
