According to recent reports, Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has received 3,520 electric vehicle (EV) orders in a single day on March 28, 2026. The company described this as a new daily order-processing record for Vietnam’s automotive industry. This speed of booking vehicles translates to nearly 146 orders per hour, or about 2.4 orders per minute. This also reveals a sharp increase in consumer demand for electric mobility solutions. VinFast confirmed that all vehicles included in these orders have been processed and are ready for dispatch, with deliveries to be executed through its dealership network.

 

 

 

This figure of orders received in a day is also higher than the monthly sales volumes of several car manufacturers in Vietnam. This also highlights the company’s increasing dominance. The company has held the top position in Vietnam’s automotive market since 2024. In 2025, VinFast delivered a total of 175,099 vehicles, while December alone saw sales reach 27,649 units, another benchmark the company described as a record for a single brand’s monthly performance.

 

 

Industry experts attribute this consistent growth to VinFast’s strong focus on ecosystem development. Its charging infrastructure partner, V-Green, is planning to roll out approximately 150,000 charging ports across 34 provinces and cities in Vietnam. Additionally, the company is working on deploying 99 ultra-fast charging hubs equipped with 150 kW chargers along major highways. This is complemented by a network of over 400 service workshops, ensuring robust after-sales support. Transportation planning expert Dr Lê Hoàng Nam noted that a well-developed ecosystem—covering vehicles, charging infrastructure, and servicing—plays a crucial role in accelerating EV adoption. He also emphasized environmental benefits such as reduced emissions and lower dependence on fossil fuels.

 

 

Public response across Vietnamese digital platforms has been largely positive. Many observers highlighted the company’s operational efficiency in handling such a large number of orders within a short time frame. Others pointed to fluctuating fuel prices as a key factor pushing consumers toward electric alternatives, calling the shift toward EVs both necessary and inevitable.

 

 

While VinFast has not yet released its full-year sales forecast for 2026, analysts believe the company is well-positioned to achieve further milestones if current demand trends continue. Importantly, industry experts believe that once the company’s production unit reaches full operational capacity, VinFast could begin manufacturing vehicles in India as well. Such a move would align closely with the Indian government’s Make in India initiative, aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing and reducing import dependency. If realised, local production by global EV players like VinFast could strengthen India’s position as a key hub for electric vehicle manufacturing, create employment opportunities, and accelerate the country’s transition toward sustainable mobility.
