What Are The Best Colors For An EV?

When it comes to choosing the color of your VinFast EV, the decision can be surprisingly difficult. There are many factors to consider, so it’s important to think about what will work best for you and your lifestyle before you make your final choice. In this article, we will look at all of the factors that can influence your car color choice and offer you some good car colors to choose from—from Brahminy White to VinFast Blue Metallic!

Factors That Can Influence Your Car Color Choice

Choosing the color for your VinFast EV doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. Every driver has different needs and preferences, so it’s important to consider all of the factors that can influence your decision before you make a final choice. Here are some of the most important considerations that you should keep in mind.

Personal Taste

Of course, personal preference plays a major role in choosing the perfect color for your EV. Some people prefer traditional colors like VinFast’s Jet Black or Brahminy White, while others prefer bolder, brighter colors like red, blue, or yellow. It’s also important to remember that the color of your car can affect how other people perceive you, so be sure to pick a color that you feel comfortable with.

Heat Absorption

The color of your car can also affect how much heat it absorbs. Darker colors tend to absorb more heat, so if you live in a hot climate, it might be best to go with a lighter color. On the other hand, if you live in a colder climate, a darker color could help keep your car warmer.

Maintenance

The color of your car can also influence how much maintenance it requires. Generally, darker colors require more maintenance because dirt and dust are more visible, whereas lighter colors hide dust and scratches more easily, which means that you won’t need to hit the car wash as often.

Cost

The cost of the color can also be a factor—as color options may affect the pricing. Generally, metallic colors are more expensive than basic colors, so if you’re on a budget, you may want to stick with a more traditional color. 

Resale Value

The color of your car can also influence its resale value. Generally, white and black are the most popular choices for cars in North America, so they usually have the highest resale value. On the other hand, bolder colors can be more difficult to resell, so you should keep this in mind when making your decision.

Fuel Economy 

It’s also important to consider the effect that car color has on fuel economy. It has been shown that lighter colors can increase fuel efficiency, while darker colors can decrease it. This is because lighter colors reflect more of the sun’s rays, thus keeping your car cooler and reducing the amount of power it needs to stay cool. Darker cars still absorb more heat, which means that your AC may need to draw more power to cool the vehicle. This could decrease your range and might deplete your battery quicker than it would a light-colored electric car. 

Top Car Colors

Now that we’ve gone over some of the main factors that can influence your car color choice, it’s time to look at some of the most popular car colors in North America. Here are some of the top car colors for EVs in 2023. 

White

White is a popular choice for cars, and it’s no surprise when you consider all of the benefits it offers. Not only does it reflect more of the sun’s rays, making it more fuel efficient, but it also retains a good amount of resale value compared with bolder color choices. VinFast offers an option called Brahminy White.

Black

Black—or Jet Black as it’s know to VinFast owners—is also a popular choice for cars, and it too offers several benefits. It absorbs more heat than lighter colors, making it better for cold climates. However, when your vehicle has a darker hue, it’s easier to spot scratches and dents, unlike ones with lighter colors.

Blue and Red

Blue and red used to be reserved for sports cars but that’s no longer the case. Indeed, VinFast’s Crimson Red Metallic and VinFast Blue Metallic are proving to be popular choices. They do tend to lose a bit of their resale value compared with black, white, or even gray cars—but not enough to be a major concern.

Metallic Colors

Metallic colors are a popular choice for cars, and they can add a unique touch to your car. VinFast offers a number of different metallic colors, so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from!

Gray and Silver

Gray and silver are also popular colors for cars, and they too offer some unique benefits. Numerous studies have shown that white cars are safest. After all, a white car provides a stark contrast to the black asphalt and surroundings, even in the dark. Also, they are both reflective, so they can help keep your car cooler and more fuel efficient in hot climates. They also shine up the best, which means that you can definitely turn a few heads when your car is cleaned up and looking good.

Conclusion

When it comes to choosing the right color for your EV, you need to consider all of the factors that can influence your decision. From personal taste to fuel economy, there are many things to keep in mind. White and black are the most popular choices for cars in North America, but there are also a number of metallic colors and gray and silver options available. No matter which color you choose, make sure it’s the one that works best for you and your lifestyle.
