How switching from petrol to a Volty U-1 on a battery swap subscription changes a delivery rider's monthly take home, and what that compounds to across a fleet.
Basis: 200 km/day, 26 working days/month, RON92 at ₫25,000/L (May 2026), a multi-BaaS subscription at ₫1,450,000/month flat with unlimited swaps, estimated ₫12,000,000/month gross for a full time rider.

Fuel price exposure
Gas net income falls as fuel rises. The Volty rider is on a fixed subscription and does not move.
March 2026 fuel spike
When RON92 hit ₫30,690/L
A 23% jump in pump prices cut the gas rider's net to ₫6,647,000/month. The Volty rider stayed at ₫10,350,000, because the subscription does not move with oil markets.
Gap: +₫3,703,000/month, a 55.7% advantage
Fueling stop
Gas motorcycle
10 to 15 minutes per stop, about one stop a day. Lost earning time of roughly ₫10,000 to ₫15,000 daily, plus exposure to queues and price boards.
Battery swap
Volty U-1
Under 2 minutes per swap, on route, with zero range anxiety. A full day of riding without planning around a fuel stop.
