Beat Holiday EV Woes With VinFast: Drive Through the Season With Confidence in Metro Manila

Holiday traffic may test your patience, but VinFast helps make every ride feel easier

Every December, Metro Manila turns into its own obstacle course, bumper-to-bumper lines, packed parking lots, evening gridlocks, and errand lists that somehow never end. For most drivers, the holiday rush is inconvenient. For EV drivers, it can be nerve-wracking watching your battery drain while barely moving, but this is exactly where VinFast steps up for its users.

With a hundred and twenty-three V-Green charging stations already active across Cebu, Davao and Metro Manila, VinFast makes it easier for its EV owners to move through the season with less stress and more certainty. The brand isn’t just selling electric cars, it’s building the kind of everyday convenience that lets you actually enjoy driving one, even in Manila’s most chaotic month. 

VinFast car owners don’t just survive the holiday rush. They move through it with a sense of calm that comes from knowing power is always within reach.
