Developing an Electric Mobility Roadmap: International Experiences from Subnational Case Studies for Vietnamese Cities

The document examines international subnational case studies to guide Vietnamese cities in creating electric mobility roadmaps. It highlights that while Vietnamese cities share contexts with other Asian cities, they are comparable to Californian cities regarding public transit usage. The paper suggests that Vietnam can move beyond narrow e-mobility uptake goals toward broader climate and air quality objectives, noting the unique presence of a local OEM, Vinfast.

• Vietnamese cities share similar contexts with other Asian cities, but their percentage of passenger trips taken on public transit is surprisingly comparable to cities in California.
• While emerging EV adopters typically focus roadmaps on vehicle uptake, charging, and manufacturing, Vietnamese cities have the opportunity to implement roadmaps with a broader scope encompassing sustainable modal shifts, air quality control, and climate action.
• Vietnam is distinguished from other Southeast Asian contexts by the presence of Vinfast, a local e-mobility original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that supplies electric vehicles across various modes.
• Southeast Asian cities without subnational e-mobility roadmaps can still provide lessons for Vietnam regarding transport decarbonization, specifically in improving public transport usage, electrifying inland water transport, and holistic emission avoidance.
