A social media user shared a screenshot from a VinFast VF 3 dashboard, revealing an impressive total mileage of 283,421 km. This sparked curiosity and discussion among other users, especially considering the relatively short time since the first deliveries in August 2024.
Assuming the car has been in use since then, it has averaged a remarkable 31,491 km per month, requiring almost 1,420 charging sessions. The post included another screenshot showcasing the impressive mileage. See the images below:

This mileage is particularly notable for the VinFast VF 3, as the model is known for its maximum range of 215 km per charge, as advertised by the manufacturer. Online users were quick to calculate and discuss the implications of this high mileage. From the date of the first deliveries to the date of the post, approximately 287 days had passed, translating to an average of nearly 1,000 km traveled per day.
One user, Nguyễn Ngọc Tuấn, expressed disbelief at the numbers, stating that even with three drivers, each driving 300 km per day, the car wouldn’t accumulate such a high mileage in a month. See the comment below:
User comment expressing surprise at the high mileage.
Other users offered various hypotheses to explain the high mileage, with some suggesting photo manipulation or tampering with the odometer. One user, Trường Giang, proposed that the numbers could be real but might belong to a test vehicle used by the manufacturer, continuously running on a roller test setup.
Based on the technical specifications provided by the manufacturer, including a maximum range of 215 km per charge and a quick-charge time of 36 minutes from 10% to 70%, it is theoretically possible to achieve 1,000 km in a day. The following calculations support this claim:
– Maximum distance per full charge: 215 km
– Quick charge from 10% to 70% adds 60% of battery, which translates to an additional: 60% x 215 = 129 km
With these figures, we can calculate the following:
1. Initial distance with a full battery: 215 km
2. Remaining distance to be covered: 1,000 km – 215 km = 785 km
3. Number of quick charges needed: 785 km / 129 km = 6.08, rounded up to 7 charges
4. Total quick-charging time: 7 charges x 36 minutes = 252 minutes = 4 hours and 12 minutes
5. Approximate total driving time at an average speed of 60 km/h: 1,000 km / 60 km/h = 16 hours and 40 minutes
6. Total time required for the entire journey: Driving time + charging time = 16 hours and 40 minutes + 4 hours and 12 minutes = 20 hours and 52 minutes
While these calculations demonstrate the theoretical possibility, it’s important to remember that they don’t account for real-world variables and challenges. One crucial factor is battery temperature. During continuous operation, battery temperature can increase significantly, triggering the Battery Management System (BMS) to limit the charging current to prevent overheating, resulting in longer charging times.
This scenario aligns with a comment from another user, who shared their experience of a VF 3 taking a long time to charge during a cross-country trip once the battery temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius after the second charge, making it challenging to achieve a daily target of 500 km.
In conclusion, while the reported mileage of the VinFast VF 3 in the post is impressive, it’s important to approach it with caution. The hypothesis of the VF 3 traveling 1,000 km per day is unlikely under typical operating conditions. The VF 3 is designed for urban commuting, and subjecting it to such extreme usage may lead to unexpected issues.
