Insurance insights for VinFast electric cars

Many insurers now offer EV-specific car insurance policies that cover your vehicle and its accessories against fire, natural disasters, theft, riots, accidents and damage during transit by road, rail, water or air. However, electric vehicles come with high-value battery packs, which can make premiums higher than those for small petrol cars.

An EV insurance policy also comes with a range of add-on covers such as zero depreciation, roadside assistance and tyre protection, giving you an added layer of security beyond the base policy. You can choose the ones that match your specific needs by paying a small additional premium.

VinFast’s entry into the nation with its VF6 and VF models stands out as a promising move. These EVs provide long driving ranges, powerful performance and modern-day design, particularly with options like AWD on the VF7 model. For people who prefer an EV, VinFast might be a good option.
