VinFast reports that it delivered 406,453 e-scooters in Vietnam in 2025. The company also says it took the top spot in Vietnam’s e-scooter market for the year. That is a big claim, and the number is hard to ignore.
First, the year-over-year jump stands out. VinFast says 2025 deliveries rose 473% versus 2024. So this was not a slow climb. It was a sharp step up, and it happened fast.
Next, there is the context. Vietnam runs on two wheels. People ride to work, to school, and to the market. Delivery riders spend all day on a scooter too. So when one brand scales this quickly, it can shift what buyers expect, from pricing to service access.
The core numbers VinFast shared for 2025
VinFast put several concrete figures into public view. These are the ones that shape the story.
- 406,453 e-scooters delivered in Vietnam in 2025
- +473% versus 2024, per VinFast
- 250,000+ deliveries from the Evo lineup alone
- 600+ authorized distributors nationwide, per VinFast
Now, those numbers do not just signal demand. They also hint at reach. A wide sales network usually means easier test rides, faster parts access, and less stress when something needs service.
Why the Evo lineup did most of the heavy lifting
VinFast says the Evo lineup carried a large share of 2025 volume, with more than 250,000 units delivered. That single number tells you something simple. Evo likely hit the sweet spot for everyday riders.
So what makes a lineup move at that scale. Price range and fit. VinFast frames Evo as practical. It also offers one-battery and two-battery setups. That matters. Many riders want a scooter that works for short city hops. Others want more buffer for longer commutes. A lineup that covers both can pick up a lot of buyers.
Then there is the rest of the catalog. VinFast points to models like Feliz, Klara, Vento, Vero X, and Theon. It also highlights license-exempt models such as Motio, Zgoo, and Flazz. So a buyer can stay in one brand family, even if their needs change over time.
Distribution and service made the switch feel easier
Products sell, but service keeps people confident. That part often decides repeat purchases too.
VinFast says it has 600+ authorized distributors across Vietnam. That kind of coverage can lower friction. People do not need to travel far for support. They can get routine service closer to home. They can also compare models in person, not just on a spec sheet.
VinFast also points to a wider service network plus public charging access. Then it adds trade-in programs that push gasoline-to-electric switching. This angle makes sense. Many riders already own a gasoline scooter. A trade-in can reduce the upfront cash hit. It can also simplify the decision, since it turns the old scooter into part of the payment story.
Battery swapping became a key talking point
Charging is easy for some riders. Others live in apartments, park on the street, or ride all day for work. Battery swapping is built for those cases.
VinFast says its battery-swap rollout moved from concept to scale. It says 4,500 battery-swap stations were installed, and it aims for 45,000 battery-swap cabinets by the end of Q1 2026, across 34 provinces and cities. VinFast also says this target would be about 1.5 times the number of existing fuel stations.
That is a bold target. Still, the idea is clear. Swapping tries to make an e-scooter feel closer to fueling up. You stop, swap, and go. No long wait. No overnight planning.
If you want the full breakdown of the new scooters and the swap network plan in one place, see this explainer on ScooterPick: VinFast’s 4 new electric scooters and the battery swap network built to feel like fueling up.
Four new 2026 scooters. Clear specs, clear positioning
VinFast launched four new models in early 2026. Three support battery swapping. One targets students and slower urban riding.
Viper
- Motor: 3,000W BLDC in-hub
- Top speed: up to 70 km/h
- Features listed by VinFast include Smart Key tracking tools, remote find, remote on and off for anti-theft support, LED projector headlights, and dual rear shocks
Feliz II
- Motor: 3,000W BLDC in-hub
- Top speed: up to 70 km/h
Evo
- Motor: 2,450W in-hub
- Top speed: up to 70 km/h
- Evo Lite: speed limited to below 50 km/h, and VinFast says it does not require a driver’s license
Next comes the battery plan for swap-ready models.
Battery system details for the swap models
- Two battery compartments under the seat
- Battery capacity: 1.5 kWh per battery
- Chemistry: LFP
- Battery rental: VND 175,000 per month for one battery, VND 300,000 per month for two
- Swap fee: VND 9,000 per battery per swap
Then there are the range claims, stated under standard conditions.
Range claims
- Evo: up to 165 km with two fully charged batteries
- Viper and Feliz II: up to 156 km with two fully charged batteries
Amio
- Motor: 800W in-hub
- Top speed: 30 km/h
- Battery: 1.024 kWh LFP
- Range: up to 65 km per full charge under standard conditions
- Positioning: a student-focused model with pedal assist and a simpler speed class
Pricing and early orders. A quick read
VinFast opened early pre-orders for Evo from January 15 to January 29, 2026. It listed the price at VND 19,990,000, excluding the battery. It also stated an early deposit bonus of VND 1 million discount per vehicle, with first deliveries expected in February 2026.
So the pattern looks deliberate. First comes volume growth. Then come new models. Then comes a larger infrastructure push that supports daily use.
Incentives through 2026 and beyond
VinFast also tied its momentum to a major incentive campaign. It said the program includes a Zero Down Payment option, a 6% discount on retail price, and support for registration fees equal to 2% of the vehicle price, running from January 12 to April 12, 2026.
Then it goes further. VinFast said customers can get free charging at V-Green public charging stations through May 31, 2027. It also stated complimentary battery swapping for six months for individual customers, and 12 months for drivers registered for commercial operations on the Xanh SM Platform.
What to check before you pick a VinFast e-scooter
It helps to keep the buying decision simple. Start with how you will refuel.
First, decide between home charging only, or home charging plus swapping. That choice changes your monthly cost pattern and your daily routine.
Next, check these points.
- Battery plan: rent one battery, rent two, or buy batteries
- Route length: short commutes can fit Amio or Evo Lite. Longer rides can benefit from two batteries
- Speed class: Evo Lite targets under 50 km/h, and VinFast says it avoids license needs
- Swap access: check cabinet coverage near home and work
- Service distance: a nearby workshop can matter more than a small spec gap
VinFast’s 2025 number sets a new bar. So 2026 will likely feel more competitive, more price-sensitive, and more focused on convenience. Riders will still compare speed, range, and cost. Yet the real deciding factor may be the boring stuff, like charging access and service.
