Seven Smart Questions to Ask Before Buying Your First Electric Vehicle

• VinFast helps Filipinos make a confident, informed switch to electric mobility

lYou’ve probably noticed the growing presence of bright cyan Green GSM taxis or sleek VinFast EVs gliding quietly along EDSA. The smooth, silent ride of these electric vehicles (EVs) signals a shift in how Filipinos move — cleaner, quieter, and more efficient. But before taking the leap into your first EV, it’s important to make a well-informed choice. To help, VinFast shares seven simple questions to guide every first-time EV buyer toward a smooth and practical transition.

From evaluating your weekly driving distance to understanding what’s inside an EV battery, these questions help match your lifestyle to the right model. Compact options like the VinFast VF 5 and VF 6 are perfect for city drives, while the VF 7 offers extended range and comfort for long trips. VinFast’s LFP battery technology, backed by a 10-year or 200,000 km warranty, ensures safety, durability, and peace of mind — ideal for tropical conditions. Charging convenience is also improving rapidly, with stations across malls, offices, and highways, plus VinFast’s three-year free charging program via V-Green making the shift even easier.

Beyond technology and cost savings, VinFast emphasizes safety, after-sales support, and overall experience. Models like the VF 3, VF 5, VF 6, and VF 7 come with essential safety features, smart connectivity, and strong after-sales coverage through partners like Motech and JIGA. As VF 3 owner Paul Reyes shared, “I’ve really been enjoying the experience. I’m never switching back to gasoline or diesel again.” With VinFast, the future of mobility is no longer a vision — it’s already here, and every Filipino can be part of it.
