Battery rental policy for Vento S and Theon S electric motorcycles
Customers who purchase the motorcycles before July 1, 2023 will only be eligible for the fixed 3.5 kWh battery rental package at a price of 350,000 VND/month, with unlimited km.
Customers who purchase the motorcycles from July 1, 2023 will be eligible for the new battery rental policy for the 3.5 kWh battery at a price of 350,000 VND/month for a maximum distance of 500 km/month. For each additional km, customers will have to pay an extra fee of 429 VND/km.
Conditions for enjoying the new battery rental policy
With the new policy, customers are not required to make a battery rental deposit and will enjoy the battery rental policy based on the price at the time of signing the contract. The battery rental package is associated with the vehicle identification number (VIN) and not tied to the vehicle owner.
Owners of LFP battery-powered motorcycles can choose to maintain the old policy or switch between the 3.5 kWh and 1.9 kWh battery rental packages with a conversion fee of 600,000 VND/time. The battery rental contract has no fixed duration and lasts until the customer no longer needs it or cancels the vehicle.
For LFP batteries, customers are required to make payment by the 5th of the following month for the full monthly battery rental fee of the previous month. Payment can be made online through the VinFast E-scooter application or directly at VinFast showrooms/dealers nationwide.
Regarding aftersales service, VinFast will replace the rental battery for free when the battery is damaged/faulty due to the manufacturer or the battery’s charge state drops below 70%. Moreover, customers will also enjoy free maintenance policies (if any).
