VinFast, a Vietnamese automaker, has officially delivered its first 45 electric vehicles to customers in the US. The EVs arrived at the end of 2022, and there are many more waiting to be delivered. This marks the company’s first deliveries outside of Vietnam. Last week, VinFast lowered the lease price on its VF 8 fully electric crossover by 50%. The vehicles delivered were VF 8 City Edition models, which have an EPA-estimated 207 miles of electric range for the Eco variant and 191 miles for the Plus version. VinFast imported 999 EVs to the US in the fourth quarter of 2022, proving that it can successfully break into the US automotive market. The company is offering special financing on the VF 8 City Edition and is currently running a test-drive program in California.
The VinFast electric crossover comes with multiple advanced driver-assist systems, over-the-air software update capability, mobile service, roadside assistance, and a 10-year warranty that covers the vehicle and its batteries. VinFast is also planning to build a $4 billion US factory in North Carolina, pending approval from regulators.
Overall, VinFast’s delivery of its first batch of EVs to the US is a major milestone for the company. It shows that it can compete with other automakers in the US market and that it is committed to providing quality electric vehicles to customers.
