Ownership Benefits
VinFast offers free charging at its VGreens stations until July 2028, and three years of complimentary maintenance. Buyers also enjoy a panoramic sunroof with a free curtain—a touch of luxury to the EV experience.
Market Expansion Plans
VinFast is set to establish dealerships in key metro areas as well as emerging EV hubs. The company’s new Tamil Nadu plant will have an initial capacity of 50,000 vehicles, scalable to 150,000 annually. The extensive rollout includes 35 showrooms across 27 cities by year-end, supporting widespread access to premium electric SUVs.
India’s Growing EV Ecosystem
While India’s EV market is expanding, much ground remains to be covered. Electric passenger vehicle sales have surged, but they only account for 7.6% of total vehicle sales. The government aims for 30% EV market share by 2030. VinFast’s entry, with its blend of advanced features, flexible options, and consumer-friendly ownership perks, is poised to further stimulate the sector’s growth and make premium electric mobility increasingly accessible.
