Customers test drive a series of cars at the Electric Vehicle Exhibition

At the Vietnam Electric Vehicle Exhibition held on January 13-14 at Yen So Park (Hanoi), a series of electric vehicle models were test-driven by attendees on the first day of the event. There were a total of 10 electric and hybrid vehicles, guided by professional drivers from the companies.

Mr. Pham Duy Khanh (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi), a guest participating in the test drive experience, said: "My wife and I wanted to learn about hybrid and pure electric cars in Vietnam, so we came to the event in the morning to let the whole family experience the feeling of sitting in an electric car. After driving many models, I really like it because electric cars are fast and drive well. My wife likes small electric cars for urban travel. In the future, my family plans to switch to electric cars, but at the moment we are still a bit concerned about battery life and the charging station system."

Electric vehicle models that customers can test drive include VinFast VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, VF 9, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Wuling MiniEV, Haval H6, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Nissan Kicks.

After test driving the CR-V Hybrid, Mr. Nguyen Van Chien (Thanh Tri, Hanoi) said that this was the first time he drove an electric car: "The feeling of fast acceleration is very different from the gasoline car I have used for 10 years. I will consider changing to a hybrid car in the future because of the comfortable, smooth, fuel-efficient driving feeling."

Along with the test drive, the exhibition has booths displaying electric vehicles, supporting industries, entertainment activities for the whole family such as mini golf course, remote control off-road racing, coloring and painting contests on car themes for children, camping, enjoying cuisine...

Attending the exhibition with her family, Dai Trang (Cau Giay, Hanoi) shared that she felt very happy to participate in an event that she, her husband and children were all excited about. "My husband and I test drove the car models at the event, which was very convenient because we didn't have to go to each dealership like usual. My children also had fun with activities such as coloring and driving remote-controlled cars at the event. Hopefully there will be more opportunities like this in the future," Trang said.

The 2024 Electric Vehicle Exhibition will be held at Yen So Park, Hanoi, over two weekends, January 13-14, from 9am to 5pm each day. On the evening of January 14, the industry's most outstanding models will be announced at the Car Awards 2023 event.
