Vinfast offers best 10-year-battery-warranty coverage
So, what makes a new player, like Vinfast, an instant hit in the local market?
Other than the avante-garde, convenience and value-for-money proposition it offers, Vinfast again further strengthens its ownership system with the best warranty offer in the local electric vehicle sector.
The fast-rising BEV brand’s 10-year vehicle and battery coverage plan sets a new standard for long-term reliability that directly eliminates the primary anxieties associated with transitioning to smart mobility in the Philippines.
For first-time electric vehicle buyers, qualms about battery longevity looms, replacement costs, and the reliability of newer technologies can weigh just as heavily on the decision.
In fact, a 2026 Deloitte study shows that 41 percent of Filipinos point to the eventual cost of battery replacement as a primary concern when considering an EV.
VinFast’s localized approach in the local market demonstrates exactly how a vehicle and battery warranty of up to 10 years can help address one of the biggest uncertainties surrounding EV ownership.
For the Philippine EV market, a longer warranty can provide a more tangible form of reassurance than standard coverage.
This is the driving force behind VinFast offering vehicle warranties of up to 10 years in the country, alongside battery coverage of up to 10 years or 200,000 km for vehicles purchased with the battery included.
With the rapid influx of emerging EV brands in the country, a long-term warranty gives buyers a concrete form of protection when choosing a new player.
One study suggests that while newcomer EV brands are rapidly challenging legacy automakers in the region, consumer skepticism toward these new entrants remains a critical hurdle for purchasing them.
In this context, a 10-year warranty is more than a coverage period. It becomes a tangible signal of a brand’s confidence in its vehicles and its commitment to supporting owners over the long term.
Moreover, VinFast further addresses concerns around EV depreciation with its Residual Value Guarantee program, which guarantees eligible first-owner vehicles up to 90 percent of their original net retail price after six months, with the guaranteed value scaling to 70 percent after three years.
VinFast ensures its 10-year coverage is not just a paper promise by backing it with an expanding aftersales network, dedicated roadside support, and highly accessible charging solutions.
With this, VinFast offers free unlimited charging at V-Green stations until March 31, 2029, alongside complimentary accessories like a home wall charge with installation. The V-Green network currently operates 137 charging stations across 22 key areas nationwide, including Cebu and Mindanao.
13 dealer partners
Furthermore, VinFast likewise recently announced the signing of strategic Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with 13 dealer partners in the country to develop 27 new showrooms nationwide.
The agreements mark an important step in the Vietnamese carmaker’s plan to expand its local electric automotive distribution network, while laying a strong foundation for the brand to reach its goal of developing a total of 60 dealerships in the country by the end of the year.
Under the agreements, the 27 VinFast showrooms are expected to be developed across all three major geographical regions of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
