Green SM, the all-electric ride-hailing service founded in Vietnam in 2023, launched in Los Angeles on October 13, 2026, with a daytime event at The Majestic Downtown. Los Angeles is the company's first US city and its ninth market worldwide.

There is no gas option. Every car in the LA fleet is a 100% electric VinFast VF 8 SUV that Green SM manages itself, and the drivers are Green SM employees, selected and professionally trained. Service currently covers West LA. Riders can book in the Green SM app, call customer service, or hail a car on the street.

For the launch, code GSMUSGRAND70 takes 70% off rides, up to $12, through the end of November. Terms apply.
