Just a couple of months ago, we noted that Vietnamese EV maker VinFast, which gained notoriety in the US some years back for making EV SUVs that most reviewers here absolutely dunked on, was evidently about to bring some of its EV scooters to Indonesia for the first time. And for those unfamiliar with vehicle culture in Indonesia, this makes a ton of sense: It's a place where small-displacement motorbikes reign supreme, and it's also a place where electrification is making massive inroads, due in large part to a concerted governmental push for EV adoption.
Four years ago, I rode VinFast's scooters. In fact, at that time, the company told me it planned to bring them to the US, as well. Notably, at the time, the company did not give a timeline for this plan; and to be fair, that's a thing that many companies do, for many reasons.
