As the official booking date (March 17) draws near, VinFast’s new quartet of electric vehicles – the VinFast Green range – is causing quite a stir among Vietnamese consumers.

The Minio Green is creating a buzz, with excited customers eagerly awaiting its release.

There are only a few days left until VinFast officially opens bookings for four electric vehicle models from the Green line: Minio Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green, and Limo Green. The anticipation is building daily as numerous customers have already set their sights on their desired model, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to make a deposit.

Among the four models, the Minio Green has garnered significant attention and sparked numerous discussions on various forums. Despite its recent unveiling, this compact VinFast model has created a frenzy with its attractive pricing starting at just VND 269 million, coupled with a cute design and impressive specifications.

On electric vehicle forums and groups, prospective customers are actively discussing plans to acquire this special model. “I’ve been waiting for a compact and affordable electric car like the Minio Green,” shared Mr. Hoang Minh, a Hanoi-based office worker. “With a price of VND 269 million, I can easily upgrade from a motorbike to a car without any financial strain.”

Mr. Minh humorously added that the Minio Green is a “win-win” option, as it not only serves as a convenient daily driver but also holds potential as an investment. He highlighted its registration on the Xanh Platform for ride-sharing services, presenting an opportunity to generate additional income if desired.

It’s not just individual car buyers who are intrigued by the Minio Green; ride-sharing drivers like Mr. Nguyen Quang Hung from Ho Chi Minh City are also exploring its potential. Currently, Mr. Hung spends VND 5-6 million on fuel each month. By switching to the Minio Green, he could significantly reduce his fuel costs while taking advantage of the income support provided by the Xanh SM Platform.

“The Minio Green’s unique, compact, and adorable design could also attract more passengers,” he added, seeing it as a potential advantage for his ride-sharing business.

Transportation business investors are also keen not to miss out on this opportunity to acquire a vehicle at a discounted price. The owner of a taxi company in Danang shared his plans to consider placing a deposit on several Limo Green 7-seater models, impressed by their affordable price of just over VND 700 million, impressive 450 km range, and spacious interior. “These would be perfect for airport transfers and rental car services,” he noted.

With exclusive discounts offered during the booking period from March 17 to 24, including savings of VND 5-15 million compared to the listed prices, now is the golden opportunity for customers to secure their deposits and be among the first to own these special electric vehicles.

A Golden Opportunity for the Transportation Business

For those in the service industry, the four Green models present an attractive investment opportunity with potential for profitable returns. Many vehicle owners, like Mr. Tran Thai Binh, a Hanoi-based ride-sharing driver, have carefully considered the financial implications of each model before making their choice.

Mr. Binh views the Minio Green as 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, especially with the VND 100% registration fee exemption, keeping the additional costs minimal.

Despite its compact size, Mr. Binh, drawing from his experience, estimates a potential daily income of nearly VND 1 million. This is the average revenue for mid-sized vehicles. By joining a popular platform like Xanh SM Platform, the number of rides and, consequently, revenue could be even higher.

“I would only need to pay a 10% platform fee, keeping 90% of the earnings. With no charging costs, I could recoup my investment in just over a year,” he calculated, taking into account the special policies offered by GSM and VinFast. Additionally, he has consulted with fellow ride-sharing drivers about the long-term operating costs of electric vehicles, which are significantly lower than gasoline-powered cars due to their simpler construction and fewer periodic replacement parts.

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

For the Herio and Nerio models, it would take approximately 23-26 months to recoup the full cost of the vehicle. As for the Limo Green, a 7-seater MPV, the breakeven point is estimated at around 27 months, or just over two years.

With an attractive product offering and compelling policies, it’s no surprise that the Green line is generating buzz across various platforms and user groups. It is expected that the Vietnamese electric vehicle market will experience unprecedented excitement during the initial booking period (starting March 17), with new records potentially being set.
