Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has proposed a draft of retail electricity pricing with 3 different approaches for calculating electricity tariffs for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Among these approaches, the method that aligns the commercial electricity pricing scheme is the most likely to receive approval from the Ministry of Justice.
Vietnam has long implemented "Decision No. 28/2014/QD-TTg on regulating the structure of electricity retail tariff". In November 2023, the MOIT proposed a new retail electricity price scheme to the Ministry of Justice. About electricity retail tariff for EV charging station operators, three potential pricing methods have been deliberated:
Option 1: Exclusive pricing mechanism. Unlike industrial or commercial electricity rates, this approach will devise a distinct pricing method tailored to electricity retail tariff for EV charging station operators. The option is for electricity generators to accurately reflect their generation costs.
