Maximize Earnings, Minimize Costs: The Driver’s Guide to Profitable Rides and Efficient Savings

Zero-Cost Charging: Maximizing Profitability

In the operational costs of traditional ride-hailing vehicles, fuel expenses typically dominate, far exceeding maintenance and depreciation. Over time, as vehicles age, fuel consumption increases, further inflating these costs.

Enter VinFast’s Green Line—a series of vehicles specifically designed for ride-hailing services, including Limo Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green, and Minio Green. These models have sparked excitement among drivers by addressing the fuel cost dilemma head-on.

According to automotive expert Nguyễn Mạnh Thắng (WhatcarVN), drivers using Green Line electric vehicles can expect higher earnings and lower expenses. The most significant cost—energy—is optimized through VinFast’s free charging policy, valid until June 2027.

Thắng estimates that a driver covering 10,000 km monthly would spend approximately VND 16 million on fuel for a gasoline vehicle, totaling nearly VND 200 million annually. Switching to an electric vehicle eliminates this expense entirely. Even when paying for charging, costs are reduced to VND 5-6 million monthly, a mere third of gasoline expenses.

Experts agree: the Green Line enables drivers to increase profits as they drive more.

Accelerated ROI with Xanh SM Platform

Drivers purchasing the Green Line through VinFast and GSM partnerships enjoy significant savings. By joining the Xanh SM Platform, drivers receive up to 90% revenue share—an unprecedented industry offer. This accelerates capital recovery, empowering drivers to recoup investments swiftly.

“After purchasing a Limo Green, with initial registration costs of VND 20 million (including license plate fees in Hanoi, insurance, first inspection, and road fees), the total on-road price is approximately VND 770 million. Earning VND 1 million daily allows drivers to recover the vehicle cost in just over two years,” illustrates Thắng, highlighting Limo Green’s market dominance.

Experienced electric vehicle drivers report even faster ROI for models like Herio Green and Minio Green, often within a year.

VinFast further supports drivers by offering accessible financing for Green Line vehicles. In December, customers benefit from a 4% discount under the “Vietnamese Spirit for a Green Future” campaign, up to VND 22 million in incentives for transitioning from gasoline to electric, and a 3% annual interest rate for the first three years (4% for Xanh SM Platform vehicles). Limo Green buyers also receive two years of comprehensive insurance, valued at VND 15 million.

Herio Green buyers can take advantage of a zero-down payment plan with monthly installments starting at VND 9.8 million. Exclusive Xanh SM Platform drivers receive an additional VND 700,000 monthly subsidy.
