Spacious, durable, and stable with economic benefits unique to electric vehicles, the VinFast Nerio Green – a model fine-tuned from the VF e34 for business optimization – has caught the attention of many drivers as a “money-making” choice.
Spacious, durable, and attractively priced
Nerio is one of the four VinFast Green models that GSM will start accepting bookings for from March 17. Although it is not a new model (Nerio is an optimized version of the previous VF e34), this C-SUV electric car is still the focus of attraction for ride-hailing drivers.
“A C-segment car like Nerio will ensure spaciousness for customers, whether on short or long journeys. Many customers who have ridden in the VF e34 before have praised not only its comfort but also its stability, smoothness, and lack of odor,” said Mr. Nguyen Trung Kien, a long-time ride-hailing driver in Hanoi.
Mr. Kien is also considering purchasing a Nerio to increase his revenue, as his current gasoline-powered car is over a decade old and in poor condition. While he is still able to participate in some ride-hailing platforms, he often receives complaints from customers, and his income is not high.
Meanwhile, what gives him confidence is the proven durability of the VF e34 models. “Fellow electric car drivers have acknowledged the exceptional durability of the VF e34. Some cars have traveled up to 300,000 km with only a 9% reduction in battery capacity, while the engine and chassis remain in excellent condition,” Mr. Kien shared.
In addition to vehicle quality, one of the most critical factors for Mr. Kien is Nerio Green’s very competitive pricing and incredible promotions for early buyers.
Specifically, according to the latest announcement, the car is priced at 668 million VND, including the battery. If customers book early from March 17 to March 24 through GSM, they will receive a 10 million VND discount, making the actual price only 658 million VND. Compared to competitors in the same segment, with starting prices ranging from 700 million to 900 million VND, Nerio Green offers a significant advantage in terms of initial investment cost.
Additionally, electric vehicles are currently exempt from registration fees, resulting in double savings for buyers. If we consider the registration fee for gasoline cars, which can be as high as 12%, ride-hailing drivers can save hundreds of millions of VND on this expense alone.
Drivers receive 90% of the revenue, ensuring a quick return on investment in just over 2 years
From a business perspective, operating costs are among the most crucial considerations. Many drivers believe that the Nerio model offers a distinct advantage over gasoline-powered cars in the same segment.
Regarding energy costs, industry experts have calculated that electricity charges for the Nerio Green are approximately 50,000 VND/100 km. In contrast, a gasoline-powered car of similar size consumes about 8 liters of fuel per 100 km, equivalent to around 170,000 VND/100 km, more than three times the cost of the electric vehicle.
In reality, Nerio Green owners are currently benefiting from a free charging policy until the end of June 2027, meaning that energy costs are essentially zero during this period.
“No car manufacturer in the market offers such a long-term free fuel policy as VinFast. For those buying cars for ride-hailing services, this is a very practical support,” said Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tai, a ride-hailing driver in Ho Chi Minh City.
Most importantly, a unique advantage of the VinFast Green line, including the Nerio Green, is the incredibly attractive revenue-sharing policy offered by GSM, the operator of the Xanh SM Platform.
According to the announcement, individual drivers who purchase the Nerio Green for ride-hailing services on the Xanh SM Platform in 2025 will be entitled to a revenue-sharing rate of up to 90%, fixed for three years. This policy is unprecedented in the Vietnamese ride-hailing market, surpassing the maximum sharing rate of 70-75% offered by other platforms. With this revenue-sharing model, drivers can maximize their income from each trip, facilitating faster capital recovery and sustainable profit generation.
Mr. Tai calculated that he could earn more than 1 million VND per day using the Nerio. After deducting the 10% platform fee, it would take him about 26 months to recoup his entire investment in the vehicle.
In reality, the payback period could be even shorter. According to previous calculations by experienced individuals, ride-hailing drivers using the VF e34 electric car for business only needed to travel about 70,000 km to earn enough money to purchase the vehicle.
The reasonable price, low operating costs, exceptional durability, and revenue-sharing policy favorable to drivers have transformed the Nerio Green into not just a means of transportation but also an ideal “money-making machine” for ride-hailing drivers, especially on technology platforms like Xanh SM Platform.
