Discover why Vietnamese users are flocking to electric vehicle info – from VinFast Evo to Honda UC3 – and join the green shift today!
Google Trends shows a sharp spike in online searches for electric vehicles (EVs) across Vietnam in the past 24‑48 hours. Aside from the usual query for fuel prices, EV‑related keywords now dominate the top‑search list.
VinFast Leads the Buzz
More than 5,000 searches were recorded for the home‑grown brand VinFast, covering both electric cars and scooters. The most talked‑about model is the VinFast Evo electric scooter, which saw a >30% increase in query volume over the previous day.
The Evo is priced from VND 19.9 million and features an Inhub motor delivering up to 2.45 kW (≈3.3 hp). It can reach 70 km/h and houses two batteries under the footwell, offering roughly 165 km on a single charge. Users also appreciate the ability to swap batteries at VinFast’s rapidly expanding network of swap stations.
Honda’s New Contender: UC3
Searches for the yet‑unpriced Honda UC3 are climbing fast. The model promises a sportier, more modern aesthetic compared with the earlier ICON e: and CUV e: scooters.
- Rear‑wheel motor – up to 8.15 hp (≈6 kW)
- Top speed: 80 km/h
- Battery pack: 3.174 kWh under the footwell
- Estimated range: ~120 km per charge
- Launch: June, with standard and special editions in three colour options
Other Brands Gain Traction
Search volume for electric two‑wheelers from Datbike and Yadea is also on the rise, indicating broader consumer interest beyond the two flagship manufacturers.
Why the Shift?
The data points to a clear emerging consumer trend: as charging infrastructure and battery‑swap stations multiply, and as major players like Honda launch high‑performance EVs, Vietnamese drivers are finding more reasons to switch from petrol‑powered bikes. Fluctuating fuel prices add another incentive to consider a greener, cost‑effective alternative.
These Google Trends numbers are more than raw statistics—they’re a snapshot of a growing market momentum toward electric mobility in Vietnam.
