VinFast has announced the extension of its free electric vehicle (EV) charging program across key Asian markets—India, Indonesia, and Philippines—until March 31, 2029, reinforcing its push to accelerate EV adoption in the region.
The extended policy will allow all VinFast EV owners, including both existing customers and new buyers, to access free charging at stations developed and operated by V-Green. The initiative also covers users operating vehicles for commercial purposes, including drivers on the Green SM electric taxi platform.
The move builds on the success of VinFast’s earlier free charging program and aims to significantly lower the total cost of ownership for EV users. By offering up to three years of zero fuel costs, the company seeks to encourage consumers to transition away from gasoline-powered vehicles and contribute to a cleaner environment.
In parallel, VinFast’s parent company Vingroup has introduced a limited-period “Trade Gas for Electric” program across Vietnam and the three Southeast Asian markets. Running from March 11 to March 31, 2026, the initiative offers a 3% discount on electric cars and 5% on electric scooters for customers switching from internal combustion engine vehicles.
Additionally, users of Green SM electric taxi services in Indonesia, Laos, and Vietnam will benefit from a 10% discount under the “GreenForAll” campaign during the same promotional period.
Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales at VinFast, stated that the extension reflects strong consumer support for the company’s earlier incentives. She emphasized that reducing operational costs to near zero would increase consumer confidence and accelerate the shift toward sustainable transportation.
Alongside pricing incentives, VinFast is expanding its EV ecosystem across these markets. The company is investing in charging infrastructure through V-Green while also offering policies such as battery subscription programs, resale value guarantees, flexible financing options, and extended warranty coverage.
VinFast’s latest move highlights its aggressive strategy to establish a strong foothold in emerging EV markets across Asia. By combining infrastructure expansion with customer-centric incentives, the company aims to make electric mobility more accessible and mainstream, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
