V-Green, a global EV charging infrastructure development company, has partnered with the Provincial Government of Bataan and Clean Fuels, one of the Philippines’ leading independent fuel providers, to accelerate the expansion of EV charging and battery swapping infrastructure in key high-traffic locations in the provinces of Bataan and Cavite.
The partnership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aimed at strengthening EV penetration and supporting the growing acceptance of electric mobility in the Philippines.
According to the company, this initiative is in line with V-Green’s long-term strategy to provide a more seamless and convenient ownership experience for both electric car users and electric two-wheeler customers.
As part of the agreement with the provincial government of Bataan, V-Green will collaborate on the planning, deployment and operation of a province-wide EV charging network. The infrastructure will extend to one city and 11 municipalities, positioning Bataan as a potential benchmark area for EV adoption in the Philippines.
The collaboration with Clean Fuels is expected to further strengthen charging access by leveraging strategic fuel station locations to support the country’s emerging EV ecosystem.
Specifically, V-Green targets the deployment of 600 charging stations and 1,200 battery swapping stations in Bataan. The company will be responsible for the supply, installation, operation and maintenance of the charging network, while the provincial government of Bataan will facilitate permits, support strategic locations and coordinate with local government units.
In parallel, V-Green has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Clean Fuels to explore the development of EV charging stations at high-traffic fuel stations in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
As one of the leading independent fuel companies in the Philippines, with a network of more than 100 stations across Luzon, Clean Fuel also shares V-Green’s vision of promoting green mobility and enhancing the customer experience. This collaboration will focus on identifying suitable locations and the potential integration of EV infrastructure into Clean Fuels’ existing retail network, making charging more convenient by allowing users to charge at familiar stops during their journey.
The new agreements lay important groundwork for VinFast’s upcoming electric scooter launch in the Philippines, ensuring the availability of battery swapping infrastructure from day one. Additionally, the expanded charging network will continue to enhance convenience for existing VinFast electric car users, contributing to a more comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem in the country.
Honorable. Bataan Governor Jose Enrique S. Garcia III said: “This collaboration reflects our commitment to advancing sustainable mobility in our province. By working with V-Green, we are building the foundation for an EV ecosystem that fosters innovation, strengthens environmental responsibility and prioritizes long-term growth.”
Mr. Nguyen Anh Quynh, Global CEO of V-Green, said: “Expanding EV infrastructure requires both scale and reach. Through our partnerships with government and private sector stakeholders, we are building a charging network that supports real-world use and makes electric mobility more practical for Filipino drivers.”
V-Green was founded by VinFast’s founder, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong, with the goal of investing in and developing charging infrastructure systems to support VinFast’s global expansion, with the Philippines identified as one of its key markets. By expanding infrastructure at both the national and local levels, V-Green continues to strengthen its leading role in making EV charging and battery swapping more accessible, widespread and practical for Filipino consumers.
