Abstract This study analysed the key determinants driving Vietnam’s electric two-wheeler (E2W) market and proposes strategies to foster its growth. Using a multifaceted research approach, combining expert interviews and comprehensive consumer surveys involving 385 respondents. The study adopts the relative importance index for data analysis, highlighting the paramount significance of reliable charging infrastructure, upfront purchase costs, and reduced emissions. Additionally, E2Ws are favoured by sustainable design, modern aesthetics, simplified licensing, and purchase incentives that facilitate its adoption. Other primary considerations include technological aspects, such as safety, range, battery lifespan, and charging duration. Analysis of 15 expert interviews using NVivo software reveals the suitability of E2Ws for Vietnam's dense urban roads, economic advantages, and environmental priorities. While there's excitement about E2Ws, obstacles like climate impact, financial barriers, and infrastructure gaps remain. The research concludes with recommendations for promoting E2W adoption, emphasizing awareness drives, policy clarity, safety protocols, and technological advancements.
