THACO AUTO and BMW Expand Electric Vehicle Charging Network in Vietnam
THACO AUTO and BMW are actively investing in the construction of DC (Direct Current) charging stations. They're also collaborating with Charge+ to expand their network, catering to the growing needs of BMW electric vehicle owners.
Current Charging Infrastructure
Currently, THACO AUTO has already put into operation three fast DC charging stations. These stations, located in Ho Chi Minh City (BMW Sala), Binh Duong (BMW Binh Duong), and Hanoi (BMW Long Bien), boast a power output of 120kW. These stations can charge 80% of a vehicle's battery in about 30 minutes and a full 100% in 45 minutes. BMW iX3, BMW i4, and BMW i7 users can enjoy free charging at these locations.
Future Expansion Plans
Looking ahead, THACO AUTO plans to open an additional six DC charging stations in 2025. These new locations will be in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hanoi, Can Tho, Nha Trang, and Vinh. This expansion will bring the total number of fast DC charging stations nationwide to nine.
