The Electrifying Race to Reserve VinFast’s New Electric Cars.

Minio Green takes the market by storm as eager customers prepare to ‘harvest’

With just a few days left until VinFast officially opens bookings for its four electric vehicle models in the Green line: Minio Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green, and Limo Green, the excitement is building. Many customers have already set their sights on their desired model and are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to make a deposit.

Among the four models, the Minio Green has generated a lot of discussion. Despite only recently revealing its images, VinFast’s compact car has created a frenzy on various forums due to its attractive price, starting at just VND 269 million, coupled with a cute design and impressive specifications.

On electric car forums, customers have actively discussed plans to acquire this special model. “I’ve been waiting for a compact, affordable electric car like the Minio Green for a long time,” shared Mr. Hoang Minh, an office worker from Hanoi. “With a price of VND 269 million, I can easily upgrade from a motorbike to a car without any financial strain.”

Mr. Minh jokingly added that the Minio Green is a “win-win” option as it’s not only convenient for daily use but also a valuable investment. The car can be registered on the Xanh Platform for ride-sharing services, providing an opportunity to earn extra income if desired.

It’s not just individual car buyers who are interested in the Minio Green. Ride-sharing drivers like Mr. Nguyen Quang Hung from Ho Chi Minh City are also eager to learn more about it. Currently, Mr. Hung spends VND 5-6 million on gasoline each month. By switching to the Minio Green, he could significantly reduce his fuel costs while also taking advantage of the support policies offered by Xanh SM Platform to boost his income. He believes that the Minio Green’s unique, compact, and cute design will attract many customers.

Several transport business investors are also keen not to miss out on the opportunity to own a vehicle at a discounted price. The owner of a taxi company in Danang is considering placing a deposit on a few Limo Green 7-seaters, impressed by its price of just over VND 700 million, a range of 450 km, and spacious interior. “It would be perfect for airport transfers and rental car services,” he said.

With a range of incentives available during the booking period from March 17 to 24, including a reduction of VND 5-15 million from the listed price, now is the golden opportunity for customers to make a deposit and be among the first to own these special electric vehicles.

A golden opportunity for the transport business

For those in the transport service industry, the four Green models offer an attractive investment opportunity with potential for profit. Many car owners have carefully calculated the financial equation for each model to make an informed choice.

Take Mr. Tran Thai Binh, a car service provider in Hanoi, for example. He considers the Minio Green to be a “small investment, big returns” option, minimizing financial risks. The initial cost of VND 264 million (including a VND 5 million early booking discount) is manageable for him, and with a 100% exemption on registration fees, the additional costs are negligible.

Despite its compact size, Mr. Binh believes that with his experience, he can generate an income of up to VND 1 million per day. This is the average income for a mid-sized car. By joining a popular platform like Xanh SM Platform, the number of rides could be even higher, resulting in better revenue.

“I only need to pay a 10% platform fee, keeping 90% of the income. With no charging costs and the various special policies offered by GSM and VinFast, I can recoup my investment in just over a year,” he explained, based on his calculations. Additionally, he has consulted with colleagues who already drive electric cars and is confident that the long-term operating costs will be significantly lower than a gasoline car due to the simpler construction and fewer replacement parts required for electric vehicles.

Similarly, many drivers considering purchasing the Nerio, Herio, or Limo models from the Green line agree that they can save VND 6-7 million per month on fuel costs, amounting to VND 70-80 million per year. Moreover, by joining the Xanh SM Platform, drivers will benefit from a revenue-sharing policy that offers a fixed 90% revenue share for three years, maximizing profits.

According to calculations, it would take around 23-26 months for buyers using their vehicles for ride-sharing services to recoup the full cost of a Herio or Nerio model. For the Limo Green, a 7-seater MPV, the payback period is slightly longer, at around 27 months or just over two years.

With its attractive products and policies, it’s no surprise that the Green line is gaining traction across various platforms and user groups. It is expected that the Vietnamese electric vehicle market will witness unprecedented excitement during the initial booking period (starting March 17), with new records potentially being set.
