For first-time electric vehicle (EV) buyers, one of the biggest financial questions centers on future depreciation. Unfamiliar EV brands with limited local market history can leave motorists uncertain about what their vehicle will be worth when it comes time to trade in or upgrade.

To directly address this concern, VinFast Philippines is putting its Residual Value Guarantee (RVG) Program to work, establishing a predetermined reference point for future vehicle values and absorbing part of the resale-value risk.

The hesitation surrounding EV resale value is well-documented in local market research:
Lower Resale Perception: A 2025 study on local EV adoption revealed that 48% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that electric vehicles suffer lower resale values than internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, while 44% expressed uncertainty.

Depreciation Anxiety: Deloitte’s Global Automotive Consumer Study showed that 19% of Philippine buyers cite uncertain resale value as a major concern regarding battery electric vehicles.

Unlike conventional vehicles with decades of secondary market data, newer EV brands must establish trust. VinFast’s RVG program tackles this challenge by setting a fixed financial floor rather than leaving future values purely to open-market speculation. 

How the VinFast RVG Program Works
The Residual Value Guarantee creates a structured buyback schedule for eligible first-owner vehicles. If an owner chooses not to sell on the open market, they can utilize VinFast’s buyback mechanism at the guaranteed percentage applicable under the program's terms.
Predetermined Resale Value Schedule

• 6 Months of Ownership: Guaranteed buyback of up to 90% of the net retail price.
• 1 Year of Ownership: Guaranteed buyback of up to 86% of the net retail price.
• 2 Years of Ownership: Guaranteed buyback of up to 78% of the net retail price.
• 3 Years of Ownership: Guaranteed buyback of up to 70% of the net retail price.

Practical Example: VinFast VF 5
For a VinFast VF 5 purchased at a net retail price of ₱1,099,000, the 70% three-year guarantee secures a buyback value of ₱769,300 after 36 months, provided eligibility conditions are met.

Supported by an Expanding Local Ecosystem
A vehicle's long-term resale potential is closely linked to how easily it can be maintained and charged. To ensure its vehicles remain supported throughout the ownership cycle, VinFast continues to expand its Philippine infrastructure:

• Retail & Service Network: 33 active dealerships and 59 dedicated service centers nationwide.
• Charging Accessibility: Growing network including 3 years of free charging at V-Green-operated stations.
• Long-Term Protection: Vehicle and battery warranties up to 10 years / 200,000 km.
• Assistance Services: 24-hour technical and emergency roadside assistance.

By offering a clear buyback mechanism alongside nationwide aftersales support, VinFast provides local drivers with a transparent path toward electric vehicle ownership.
