The launch marks the beginning of VinFast’s battery-swapping product line, which will also include Feliz Max (VND24.9 million), Verox Max (VND33.9 million), and Drift Max (VND39.9 million), all scheduled to be rolled out later this year to meet the diverse needs of customers.

As part of its nationwide green transition policy, VinFast reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Vietnamese consumers in shifting from petrol-powered vehicles to electric ones by developing a vast network of 150,000 battery-swapping stations across the country. The company plans to install 1,000 stations in October, expand to 50,000 by the end of the year, and complete the full network within the next three years.

The new battery-swapping models are designed with dual storage compartments, allowing easy installation and replacement of batteries at public stations. Each battery has a capacity of 1.5 kWh, enabling a maximum range of 85 km under standard conditions. Customers may rent one or two batteries at a monthly fee of VND200,000 per battery, with each swap costing VND9,000, inclusive of charging costs. VinFast said this represents a more economical solution compared to petrol expenses for the same distance.

Alongside the swapping models, VinFast will continue offering battery-included versions for customers who prefer full ownership and home charging. Users may also choose rental versions with the flexibility to charge the batteries themselves, depending on their needs.
