VinFast announces cost of replacing and repairing electric car batteries, highest at 528 million VND

The price of high-voltage batteries for VinFast electric vehicles starts at 75 million VND, and the higher the car model, the more expensive it is. However, vehicle owners can also repair and replace individual items at a cost of 8.5 million VND.

After announcing the price of the VF 5 battery, the Vietnamese car company continues to list the high-voltage battery costs of the remaining car models, including the newly launched VF 3 model. Details on battery prices of VinFast car models are in the table below.

Thus, VF 3 is the VinFast model with the lowest battery price - 75 million VND. Meanwhile, the company sells this product for 240 million VND when renting the battery and 322 million VND if buying with the battery, a difference of 82 million VND. Some car models such as VF e34, VF 7, VF 8 or VF 9 have more than one supplier option, which can be SDI, CALT, Gotion or VinES, so their prices can also be different. The above price list also shows that VinFast has self-supplied batteries for some of its electric car models, through the VinES brand (VinES Energy Solutions Joint Stock Company). Accordingly, the VF 6 or VF 7 models will use batteries produced by VinFast's member companies.

In addition to announcing battery costs, VinFast also publicly announced the price list for battery repairs. The main processing items will be related to the positive BDU, negative BDU, main BMS, secondary BMS, Pyro fuse or battery case. These parts cost from about 8.5 million VND to nearly 44 million VND. VinFast's move to publicly list battery prices and battery repair prices can help customers have more information before making decisions such as buying a car, choosing insurance, etc. This is even more meaningful when the battery is a particularly important component and accounts for a high proportion in the cost structure of an electric car. Currently, not many car manufacturers and distributors in Vietnam publicly disclose battery prices and battery repair prices on their car models. Meanwhile, many car models are integrated with batteries, not just pure electric cars, including hybrid or plug-in hybrid models of Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz...
