Etrel and VinFast partner to simplify EV charging experience

Etrel x VinFast

Ljubljana, May 2026 Etrel and VinFast Slovenia have announced a new partnership aimed at making e-mobility more accessible and convenient for customers. The partnership reflects a broader shift in the EV market, where charging is increasingly becoming an integrated part of the vehicle purchase and ownership experience.

Through the collaboration, Etrel’s INCH charging stations will become part of VinFast’s retail expansion in Europe, starting in Slovenia, allowing customers to purchase a charging solution directly where they buy their vehicle.

For many EV drivers, charging infrastructure is an important part of the overall ownership experience. By integrating charging solutions into the showroom experience, VinFast wants to make the transition to electric driving smoother, easier, and more connected for both private and business customers.

“Drivers should leave the dealership knowing they are fully equipped for e-mobility, not only with a new car, but also with a simple and reliable way to charge at home,” said CEO at Etrel, Lovrenc Švegl. “This partnership brings together two companies that believe the EV experience should feel intuitive and convenient. We’re looking forward to working closely with VinFast Slovenia and supporting their growth in the market.”

VinFast entered the Slovenian market with ambitious plans and a strong focus on customer experience, long-term reliability, and accessible e-mobility. The Vietnamese EV brand has already attracted attention with its modern EVs, strong design identity, and one of the market’s most competitive warranty packages, including a 10-year vehicle and battery warranty.

At the same time, VinFast is also expanding its focus toward business mobility solutions. In the second half of the year, the company plans to introduce its Green vehicle series aimed at B2B customers, including car sharing providers, passenger transport services, and fleet operators. The segment will also include minibuses and multi-seat vehicles, where VinFast sees significant growth potential.

The addition of Etrel’s INCH charging stations complements that approach by giving customers an easy way to complete their EV ecosystem in one place.

Designed and developed in Europe, the INCH charging stations are known for their user-friendly design, smart charging capabilities, and reliable everyday performance. Whether drivers are charging overnight or managing energy consumption more efficiently, the solution is built to fit naturally into modern daily life.

“Charging is a key part of the ownership experience,” said Tilen Hojč, Managing Director VinFast Adriatic & Greece at VinFast Slovenia. “Together with Etrel, we can offer customers a more complete and convenient EV journey from the very beginning.”

As fleet electrification, shared mobility, and commercial EV adoption continue to grow across Europe, integrated charging solutions are becoming an essential part of the transition. With this collaboration, Etrel and VinFast are taking another step toward making electric driving simpler, smarter, and more accessible for everyday drivers.
