The free charging program is available at VinFast's dedicated charging station network, valid until May 1, 2027. Operated by the global charging station development company V-Green, the network aims to deploy 15,000 charging ports across the country in 2025.

VinFast has also announced the signing of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with two banks - EastWest Bank and BDO - to support the Philippines’ green transition and sustainable growth. These partnerships will focus on developing and offering financial solutions that support VinFast’s green ecosystem, while making it easier for Filipinos to switch to electric mobility.

Nguyen Thanh Duong, CEO of V-Green, said: “We are proud to partner with VinFast in building a comprehensive and convenient EV ecosystem. Expanding the charging network not only supports customer confidence in choosing VinFast EVs but also strengthens public awareness of electric mobility infrastructure in the Philippines. Together with VinFast and our local partners, we’re working toward a greener and more sustainable transportation future for Filipino communities.”

By continuously expanding its product lineup and developing a comprehensive EV ecosystem - including charging infrastructure, showrooms, and service centers - VinFast says it is reaffirming its long-term commitment to supporting the Philippines in its green transition. The company aims to contribute to the country’s sustainable future through the 'For a Green Future' model already proven successful in Vietnam, delivering a seamless experience to local consumers.

In the Philippines, the new VF 6 SUV is available in two trims: Eco and Plus, with MSRPs of 1,419,000 PHP and 1,610,000 PHP respectively. Deliveries of the VF 6 Eco are expected to begin in May 2025.
