VinFast Launches Online Total Cost of Ownership Calculator | Mix of Everything

VinFast’s Total Cost of Ownership Calculator is Now Available Online
Translating EV Savings Promises into Concrete Household Numbers
Fast-rising battery electric vehicle (BEV) brand VinFast Philippines has officially launched its web-based Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator on its official website. The interactive tool provides consumers with a clear, personalized way to compare the long-term financial impact of driving a VinFast EV versus a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) petrol vehicle.

With fluctuating gas prices continuing to stretch household transport budgets in the Philippines, the TCO Calculator shifts the vehicle-buying decision beyond basic specs and upfront price tags, focusing instead on total lifetime expenditure. By factoring in monthly travel distance, fuel or electricity expenses, monthly financing payments, battery ownership options, and routine maintenance, the tool allows users to simulate their exact financial outlook before purchasing.

Key Ownership Cost Comparisons

• Selected Scenario: VinFast VF 7 Plus (Battery Subscription)
• Ownership Duration: 5-Year Horizon
• Monthly Driving Range: 2,000 kilometers per month
• VinFast VF 7 Plus 5-Year TCO: ₱1,884,890
• Comparable ICE Vehicle 5-Year TCO: ₱3,156,240
• Total Estimated Net Savings: ₱1,271,350 (~40% lifetime savings)

 Driven by Local Economic Realities
The release of the TCO Calculator aligns with local consumer sentiment:

• Rising Interest in EVs: A recent consumer study by Agile Data Solutions Inc. revealed that one in six Filipinos is actively considering an EV or hybrid vehicle to mitigate rising transport and fuel costs.
• Energy Cost Disparity: Based on local estimates, standard residential electricity rates hover around ₱12 per kWh compared to petrol near ₱65 per liter, allowing high-mileage EV drivers to recoup the initial purchase cost over time.
• Global Consumer Priorities: According to Deloitte’s Global Automotive Consumer Study, 52% of consumers considering an EV cite lower fuel costs as their primary motivation, while 40% name overall maintenance and vehicle costs as top considerations.

Per CAMPI-TMA data, VinFast emerged as the No. 1 BEV Brand in the Philippines from March to June 2026. The introduction of the TCO calculator reinforces the brand's focus on transparent ownership economics as it continues to expand its retail and charging footprint across the country.
