SEA Deal Ticker
Chargers, not cars, gate Vietnam's EV shift: Grab plugs into Hanoi's EBOOST to reach 6,000 ports by 2028
Grab took a strategic stake in Hanoi charging network EBOOST, folding its 2,500 existing points into the Grab app and targeting 6,000+ ports — nearly 3,000 in Hanoi — by early 2028.
Positive-sum angle: Charging density, not vehicle supply, is what stalls SEA's EV transition; a super-app already routing millions of daily rides can turn idle chargers into utilised infrastructure almost overnight.
