Curious about VinFast’s new line of electric vehicles? You’re not alone! Luckily, we’re here to answer your common questions about VinFast.
What is VinFast?
VinFast is an automotive company founded in Vietnam. In fact, it’s the first Vietnamese automaker to expand into the global marketplace. VinFast EVs made their US debut in summer 2022. Since then, the company has launched both its VF8 and VF9 models, partnering with American dealerships like Alan Jay to bring drivers great deals on these electric SUVs.
How many VinFast models are there?
Currently, there are four VinFast EVs destined for American drivers: the VF6, VF7, VF8, and VF9. Right now, you can test-drive the VF8 and VF9! The smaller VF6 and VF7 are slated to arrive soon.
Which model is right for you? The VF6 is a subcompact crossover designed to give drivers a stylish electric cruise at a great price. By comparison, the compact VF7 offers both more passenger space and electrified speed. In the midsize VF8, you’ll enjoy two rows of upscale accommodations and a sporty electric performance. Choose the VF9 to seat up to seven passengers in a stylish, high-powered EV.
What’s the driving range of each VinFast EV?
Each VinFast EV is available as two trim models: Eco and Plus. As the name suggests, Eco trims eke more mileage from their batteries. Plus models offer a stronger, swifter performance, along with a slightly shorter driving range.
VinFast-Estimated Driving Range
- VF6 Eco: 248 miles
- VF6 Plus: 237 miles
- VF7 Eco: 280 miles
- VF7 Plus: 268 miles
- VF8 Eco: 256 miles
- VF8 Plus: 235 miles
- VF9 Eco: 330 miles
- VF9 Plus: 291 miles
Where are VinFast vehicles produced?
As of this writing, VinFast EVs are mainly produced in Vietnam. However, the automaker has already broken ground on several new factories, including one in Chatham County, North Carolina. After it opens, you’ll be able to purchase an American-made VinFast EV!
Where can I charge my VinFast EV?
You can charge your electric VinFast SUV anywhere there’s a Level 1, 2, or 3 charger! Level 1 outlets are your typical household-style power outlets. To reduce charge time, you can install a Level 2 charger in your home. Most public charging stations are also Level 2 chargers. Level 3 chargers, found at DC Fast Charge stations, provide the most power at the quickest rate. Thanks to the network of Level 3 charge stations across North America, road trips in your VinFast EV have never been easier!
What warranty comes with my VinFast vehicle?
VinFast bolsters your peace of mind with the longest-lasting warranty in the business. Its 10-year battery coverage, which includes unlimited mileage, is especially impressive. And should anything unexpected happen, roadside assistance is at your service around the clock!
