VinFast has announced that it will stop implementing the battery exchange service for the EVs: Ludo, Impes, and Klara S- old version, in order to employ battery rental program. This new service will be applied from November 2022.

The reason to stop changing batteries given by VinFast is to focus more on developing battery rental services. Users of 3 models of Ludo, Impes and Klara S will be given 6 months of battery subscription, equivalent to 2.1 million VND, choosing the battery rental service will still be able to replace the new battery for free if the battery quality drops to 70%.

To show gratitude to customers who have trusted in choosing its electric motorbike, VinFast will give customers 6 months of free battery subscription. VinFast will contact customers to finalize a new service contract and activate the incentive program.

The brand will fix the battery rental price throughout the product life, instead of adjusting annually according to fluctuations in petrol and electricity prices as previously announced.

Along with adjusting the battery rental price, VinFast will apply a single subscription package for EV using LFP batteries sold, with a fee of 350,000 VND/month, unlimited travel distance. Customers can also buy the LFP battery pack that comes with the vehicle for 19.9 million VND.
