THE STATUS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN VIETNAM AND EXPERIENCES FROM THAILAND AND INDONESIA

Abstract

The research and development of clean energy sources to gradually replace
fossil fuel sources and contribute to reducing environmental pollution is an
inevitable trend. Specifically, an alternative energy source that uses petroleum as
a mode of transportation. Today, the development of electric vehicles has quickly
been the focus of many countries. This is considered an effective solution to
ensure energy security and environmental problems. In Vietnam, the number of
internal combustion engine vehicles is very large, the policies to support electric
vehicles are not complete, and the infrastructure is not yet ready, so the
transition to using electric vehicles is really a big and complicated problem.
Currently, there is no comprehensive study on the situation and development
trend of electric vehicles in Vietnam. In this article, we present the current status
of automobile development in Vietnam and the factors affecting the
development of electric vehicles through an expert workshop, proposing longterm solutions through experiences from countries such as Thailand and
Indonesia.
