VinFast Grows its Dealer Network in San Diego, California

As VinFast grows in this country, we need to expand our retail footprint to become more customer-facing and centric. This is why Ewing VinFast of Plano is here to serve you with a full facility for sales, service, and after-sales support.

For those of you who own VinFast electric vehicles, you expect the same superb support across the country. In August, the Sunroad Automotive Group opened up VinFast San Diego. It is the first authorized dealership in California, serving the city with a commitment towards providing a higher level of after-sales support away from your Metroplex home.

The dealership is located in the Kearney Mesa area, which has access to Interstates 8 and 15 with connections from Interstate 10. It is also north of downtown San Diego and not far from the beaches to the west and the beautiful La Jolla area.

California is a 1,369-mile drive from the Metroplex. The route westward is also covered with DC Fast Charging stations to keep your VF 8 and VF 9 going across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. At the end of your destination is a friendly showroom and service staff ready to support your VinFast after a long drive across the Southwest.

While the San Diego dealership is the first of its kind in VinFast’s headquarters state, there are plans to open more showrooms and service centers in its most important market. EV ownership is higher than average per capita in the Golden State, which makes for greater opportunity to expand the VinFast brand.

You can expect service at VinFast San Diego with a comprehensive maintenance and repair center that offers warranty support while using genuine VinFast parts, just as you expect from us at Ewing VinFast of Plano. Keep in mind that VinFast offers an industry-leading limited warranty with 10 years and 125,000 miles on the entire vehicle and 10 years unlimited miles on the battery pack under non-commercial use. Every VF 8 and VF 9 comes with this warranty.

VinFast San Diego and Ewing VinFast of Plano are among 30 authorized dealerships in the U.S.A. currently. These dealers are located in 14 states, including Texas, Florida, Illinois, New York, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Louisiana, and, now, California. The plan is to create a network of authorized dealerships across all 50 states.

If you are planning a road trip soon to visit all of the current VinFast dealerships, start right here at Ewing VinFast of Plano with your VF 8 or VF 9. Contact us to get started on your VinFast journey soon.

The EV Report Finds the VF 8 Impressive

The EV Report is dedicated to providing news, insights, and development trends related to electric vehicles. They are committed to informing about all areas of the EV industry, lifestyle, and available products. Thus, it comes as no surprise that they have turned their attention to VinFast, specifically, the VF 8. They cover several aspects of the VF 8, and Ewing VinFast shares with you the highlights of what they found.

The EV Report begins its review with this summary: “The VinFast VF 8 blends luxury, technology, and affordability, offering Baby Boomers and Gen X a stylish, tech-forward SUV with advanced safety, premium features, and competitive pricing.” They highlight these specific age groups because they have spent a lifetime adapting to and embracing high-tech products. Unspoken but perhaps implied is that these generations have had environmental concerns as a backdrop throughout their lives, leading to an interest in a no-emission vehicle.

They start with the VF 8’s design. VinFast enlisted acclaimed automobile designers Pininfarina for the model’s exterior. The renowned designer of models like the Ferrari Testarossa, 250 GT Lusso, and F40, among others, has also crafted well-known designs for Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Peugeot. While they can’t give this mid-size crossover the dramatic lines of an Italian sports car, they ensured the VF 8 has attractive proportions and that all curves and surfaces have a cohesive appearance.

They also highlight the “Luxurious Interior,” pointing out features like the 15.6-inch center display, the single point location for all vehicle information, as well as the comfortable available vegan leather seating surfaces and heated and cooled seats. They describe it as a “meticulous attention to detail, creating a European-style interior that feels both premium and eco-conscious.”

They also pointed out the VF 8’s impressive range of safety features, such as 11 airbags, including dual knee airbags and an extra airbag between the front passengers. Additionally, it features the standard Advanced Driver-Assistance System, which includes:

Traffic Jam Assist (Level 2)

Highway Assist (Level 2)

Lane departure and Lane Center assist

Lane Centering Assist

Adaptive Cruise Control

Traffic Sign Recognition

Forward Collision Warning

Front automatic Emergency braking

Blind Spot Detection

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

Front and rear parking assist

360 Surround view monitoring

Along with the above standard safety and driver assist aides, the VF 8 includes interior comfort features like an 8-way power driver seat and a 6-way power front passenger seat, both with heated capability and ambient interior lighting. Plus, the dual-motor system provides 349 hp of power, which powers the all-wheel drive. These are all on a model with a starting MSRP of $39,900. The Plus model, priced at $44,900, offers 402 horsepower along with a panoramic sunroof, 12-way and 10-way power driver and front passenger seats, and a 10-speaker audio system with a subwoofer.

This is familiar territory for a new car brand from a new country. Fifty years ago, the Japanese made a name for themselves in this country by offering vehicles with high-value features. Two decades later, Korean manufacturers introduced themselves in the same way. The only difference today is that VinFast enters with the drivetrain choice of the future, which is also new to established brands of all backgrounds. The EV Report summarizes their VF 8 Review this way: “For those ready to embrace a tech-forward, eco-conscious driving experience, the VF 8 offers a compelling blend of style, innovation, and value.” If they’re talking to you, visit Ewing VinFast, the #1 volume VinFast dealer in the country, for a test drive of the VF 8.

VinFast Expands Production Into India With New Factory

The demand for VinFast vehicles has been high globally. With new markets opening and enhancing current ones, it seems like the right step is to add more production capacity. This led to the opening of a new production facility in Thoothukudi, India, in the Tamil Nadu state. Located near the southern tip of India, the new plant has plenty of advantages with nearby roadways and ports for delivering new vehicles within the country and beyond.

The 400-acre site is the first VinFast production facility outside of Vietnam. It also marks the third production facility among five such projects to be built worldwide. The site includes multiple workshops: a Body Shop, Paint Shop, Assembly Shop, Quality Control Center, and a Logistics Hub. The site is set to bring 3,000-5,000 local workers into direct-hire jobs set to produce 50,000 vehicles, namely the VF 6 and VF 7. The facility can be scaled up to produce up to 150,000 vehicles. This is also a part of a global strategy to sell 200,000 vehicles in 2025, with a goal of 1,000,000 sales by 2030.

India has had a history of automotive production in the vast nation. The Tamil Nadu state is becoming a huge production hub due to its strategic geographical location for exports across the Indian Ocean, as well as to feed the growing domestic and regional market – including Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar – to name a few nearby national markets.

The other piece to opening up the plant in Tamil Nadu state is a push towards sustainable production and adding EVs into the mix. India also has a huge potential for a push towards vehicular electrification and acceptance of vehicles, such as the VF 6 and VF 7, on Indian roads.

To accomplish these goals in Southern India, VinFast has engaged with local companies to create a supply chain within the state, along with technology transfer and workforce development.

What does that mean for us? Eventually, the U.S. market may see Indian-produced VinFast vehicles if the lineup expands to include these smaller models. If we see a growth in demand for these EVs across the board, could we possibly see a plant on this side of the Pacific Ocean? Maybe in Texas?

This brand’s growth is important to us at Ewing VinFast of Plano. We want to embrace the future and invite you to do so alongside us. Contact us to see what the future looks like today with our current VF 8 and VF 9 electric SUV inventory.

The VinFast VF8 is Helping To Change How We Enjoy Our Cars

It wasn’t that long ago that one of the chief complaints from EV haters was that they couldn’t drive far enough on a full charge. Now, though, there are more than 40,000 Level 3 DC fast chargers and nearly 200,000 Level 2 chargers. This means that driving across the country has never been easier for owners of a VinFast VF8. Not only can you charge from 10% to 80% via a DC fast charger in about 30 minutes, but you can also stay at a hotel with Level 2 chargers in the parking lot and charge your car overnight.

The Freedom to Drive Anywhere

VinFast takes pride in owners taking their cars on road trips, which is why the VF8 has a healthy EPA-rated 256 miles of range for the base Eco and 235 miles in the Plus trim. That’s roughly 4-5 hours worth of driving. And at that point, you’ll want a break. It’s approximately 300 miles from Plano to San Antonio, or 239 miles from Plano to Tulsa, Oklahoma. So, with that in mind, you can go pretty far on either a full charge or stopping once to add some juice.

Sony RIDEVU Will Keep the Passengers Relaxed

Add in the ability for passengers to enjoy Sony Pictures Entertainment’s library filled with 2,000 movies and shows via the free Sony RIDEVU service, and instead of hearing “are we there yet?” you’ll be hearing pure silence as everyone’s glued to their phone, tablet, or laptop watching the same thing or different things while using the in-car WiFi hotspot.

Cost To Charge at Home

When charging your car at home, you can expect to pay around 10-15 cents per kWh per 1,000 kilowatts. Because the VF8 has an 87.7 kWh battery, you will spend $13 at the highest 15 cents per kW if you are charging from 0% battery. Because most people usually only use about 50% of their battery during the day, that means you’ll spend about 6-7 dollars charging your car every night.

Estimated Costs Charging on The Go

When on the go, things can get a bit more expensive, however. For instance, a Level 3 DC fast charger in Texas costs about .362 cents per kWh according to AAA. So, charging from 10% should cost you about $25-$30. But if you are staying at a hotel or visiting friends at a shopping mall or downtown area, you’ll likely have access to Level 2 chargers, which are less expensive. Hanging out with family and friends for about 3 hours will allow you to charge from 35% to 80% battery on a Level 2 charger that’s charging at 15 kW. This means your total “fill-up” cost will run you about $10 or so. Some areas even have free public chargers.

Range Anxiety Is a Thing of The Past

Driving an EV long distances used to worry people. Range anxiety was a real thing for some owners. But now, that’s genuinely a thing of the past, especially since your VinFast will let you program your destination into the standard navigation system, create a route that accounts for the need to charge, and direct you to those areas on your way to your destination. Traveling with an EV couldn’t be easier.

Let Ewing VinFast of Plano Help You Find the Right VinFast

When you’re ready to experience the EV revolution and the world’s best new-car warranty, Ewing VinFast of Plano has you covered. Your new VinFast will have a standard 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty.

The VF8 Challenges EV Trade-Off Presumptions

VinFast VF 8 Driver Side at the Campground

Modern EVs, while great, are often assumed to have more compromises than gas-powered cars. The main assumption is that buying an electric car means giving up things, like charge times versus gas refill times, or overall range. However, the VinFast VF8 continues to prove that “trade-offs” are a thing of the past when it comes to buying a vehicle that’s made for the future but available now.

The Price of the VF8 Warrants a Look

Many new and used car buyers are curious and interested in buying an EV, but many think an electric-powered car is so expensive to buy, own, and operate. Yet, that just isn’t the case. The VinFast VF8 starts from $39,900 and is available in just two trim levels, Eco and Plus. At less than $40,000, this is thousands of dollars less than most of its main rivals. In fact, we have covered many of those cars in our previous VF8 versus articles.

VinFast Takes Standard Equipment Seriously

With such a low base price, you’d expect the VF8 to be devoid of any real luxury or amenities. Instead, VinFast has packed in the features to help buyers understand that you don’t have to overpay for the latest and greatest technology. For instance, very few EVs come with a Head-Up Display (HUD), or, if they do, it is an option added on by upgrading to a costly trim level. The VF8 comes standard with HUD, even on the base Eco model.

What Powers The VF8

Powering the VF8 is an 87.7 kWh battery pack that produces 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque in Eco trim and 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque for the Plus model. VinFast equips all cars with all-wheel drive as standard, something most other EVs can’t say they have until you spend thousands of dollars more on a higher trim level.

Cargo Space

Practicality doesn’t fall by the wayside either, as the VF8 has ample space for five passengers, their luggage, and room left over. Owners will find 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 48.4 cubic feet when folded flat. In the front trunk, or frunk, lies an extra 2.7 cu.ft.

Special Modes

More than anything, though, is the power of the 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment display that shows every relevant bit of information for your car. More so, features like Camp Mode and Pet Mode that let you set a temperature for the interior while you enjoy hanging out.

Sony RIDEVU

Furthermore, with the 15.6-inch infotainment system, the VF8 is able to play 2,000 movies and TV shows on the screen when parked, thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment and its free Sony RIDEVU service. If the car is in motion, passengers can watch content on devices that are connected to the in-car WiFi hotspot.

VinFast Has a Warranty Like No Other

Unlike any other electric or gas-powered car on the market, every new VinFast has a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. That’s how much VinFast believes in their cars. This means that if you decide to take the company up on one of their incredible lease offerings and then choose to buy the car when the 2-year lease is up, you will still have eight years’ worth of warranty left for the entire car, including the battery system. So, when you’re ready to make one of the best decisions of your life, Ewing VinFast of Plano will take great care of you.

Why You Should Choose Ewing VinFast

We look forward to serving you.
