The heat has not gone down, drivers rush to take the last chance
The VinFast Green storm once again caused a stir in the community with a record of 45,813 deposit requests in just 72 hours. The record number in Vietnam has heated up many groups and forums. Many people are excited to share that they have "mentored" the boat" early and are one of the arms that helped bring this special record.
However, the deposit atmosphere has not cooled down. Taking a look around the driver groups, it is not difficult to see that the series of posts sharing about VinFast Green is still taking up the absolute number. Many people said they are still taking advantage of the last days of the early deposit opening to deposit money.
"A car sold like this has to pay early. Not only to keep a place but also to take advantage of the best incentives. If we wait now, there will be no more bargains like this" - Mr. Nguyen Huu Nam, a technology car driver in Hanoi, said.
Mr. Nam said that he had deposited in Minio Green and was able to enjoy the incentive of 5 million VND in the early deposit. In addition, because he registered a car in Hanoi, he received an additional 2.5 million VND under the "For a Green Capital" program (converted to VinClub points to use services and shop in the Vingroup ecosystem).
In particular, for Minio, he is also exempted from choosing two special exterior paint colors and enjoys a loan support policy of installment payment of up to 90% of the vehicle value for a maximum of 5 years.
More than 26 million VND to buy a car, with a monthly installment of 5 million VND, the drivers can torture them comfortably. There is no model of car on the market that is so accessible" - Mr. Nam affirmed.
Economic problems bring unprecedented benefits to service brokers
Not only taking advantage of good prices, many drivers also look at the long-term profit problem. Mr. Tran Huu Nam - a service driver in Ho Chi Minh City - calculated that the fuel cost for small gasoline vehicles such as Kia Morning and Hyundai i10 per month is up to over 5 million VND. However, driving an electric vehicle, the charging fee is 0 VND, helping the driver "go high on the pillow to sleep".
It turns out that in 3 years, fuel alone helped the driver take home 130 million VND compared to A-class gasoline cars. This is not a small amount of money for the talented people to cover their living expenses. For the person who bid in installments, this amount is equivalent to 1/2 of the price of the car, enough for the investor to quickly repay the loan and comfortably own their assets.
On the other hand, according to Mr. Nam, he has consulted many electric vehicle owners and confirmed that electric vehicles do not have internal combustion engines, so they do not need to change oil, and are less damaged, helping to save a large amount compared to gasoline vehicles. For service car drivers, this problem is even more obvious because this is a large structure in monthly costs, especially old gasoline cars, at large maintenance levels that require up to a month's income.
"If I had to do business on the Xanh SM Platform, with 90% of my revenue shared, I would have calculated that it would be about 1 year to recover capital, or even faster" - Mr. Nam summarized.
Not only small vehicles, even 7-seat MPVs serving passenger transport like Limo Green, drivers are confident that they have a very clear economic problem. Mr. Tran Van Hung - the owner of a contract car team in Ho Chi Minh City - shared that he used to use Toyota Innova, gasoline costs at least 9 million VND per month, not to mention 1-2 million VND/month for regular maintenance.
Therefore, moving to Limo Green for him was an "immediate advantage". In the long run, in about 3 years, he earned more than 240 million VND compared to the old Innova, including gasoline alone.
"Thus, it will only take more than 2 years to recover capital, while gasoline vehicles will take 4-5 years to make real profits. Not to mention, customers today prefer electric vehicles because they are smooth, spacious, clean, making it easier for drivers to have more customers and have more stable revenue. Compared to this, Limo Green is much better than gasoline cars like Innova because the cars have a larger interior and a larger capacity, so even though they carry a lot of people, they are still lighter" - Mr. Hung commented.
Obviously, with the above economic problem, Minio Green and Limo Green are becoming the most reasonable options for drivers who want to run services. That is also the reason why experts predict that in the coming days, the wave of VinFast Green deposits will continue to heat up as many customers will want to take the last-minute opportunity.
