VinFast Highlights Total Cost of Ownership Advantage of Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly cost-competitive with petrol and diesel cars when considering lifetime ownership costs, including fuel, maintenance, and servicing. Despite higher upfront prices, EVs often have lower total costs due to falling battery prices, expanded model options, and growing charging infrastructure. This trend is evident in markets like Europe, where EVs are projected to become the lowest-cost option across all passenger car segments by 2026. The main challenge now is improving consumer understanding of these long-term economic benefits beyond sticker prices.
