A major 6.9-magnitude earthquake recently struck Cebu, Philippines, on September 30th, leaving the city and its surrounding areas devastated. So far, 79 people have been listed as deceased, with nearly 1,300 injured. And, to top it off, as of the writing of this article, another strong earthquake registering a 7.4 magnitude hit not far away. The September 30th earthquake has affected more than 100,000 residents, with over 20,000 being displaced. Luckily, VinFast and Green GSM have promised support.

 

Two Green Companies Give Financial Support

 

VinFast, a Vietnamese electric vehicle company, quickly offered support to locals and the government. Alongside Green GSM, an EV taxi service, VinFast donated 10 million Philippine Pesos, equivalent to approximately 170,000 U.S. dollars.

In a statement provided by VinFast, Antonio Zara, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia, said: “We are deeply saddened and empathize with the significant losses experienced by the people of Cebu following the earthquake. VinFast and our partners are committed to standing with the local government and the community to help residents restore stability as quickly as possible. With a strong sense of corporate social responsibility, we see this support not just as a duty, but as a meaningful way to contribute to the community.”

 

The Founder of VinFast Is Known for His Charitable Efforts

 

The founder and chairman of Vingroup, which owns VinFast, Pham Nhat Vuong, is well-known throughout Asia as a billionaire with a focus on philanthropic efforts worldwide. He is the first-ever Vietnamese billionaire, worth at least $ 20 billion, according to Forbes. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Vingroup collaborated with Medtronic, a U.S.- and Irish-based medical technology company, to produce ventilators. Vingroup regularly provides relief to communities around the globe after natural disasters and epidemics strike. Forbes has called Vuong “Asia’s Hero of Philanthropy”.

 

A Word from Cebu’s Governor

Two Vingroup representatives brought the financial aid directly to Mada Pamela Baricuatro, the Governor of Cebu, to which she said, “We are very grateful for your kindness. We will use this money to rebuild damaged schools, offices, and support people to rebuild their houses. I would like to thank the group and hope that you will continue to accompany the government and people of Cebu.”

How To Tow An EV Properly

Driving an electric vehicle, such as a VinFast, as your everyday car is a great way to save time by avoiding stops for gas, dealing with the harsh sounds and smells that come from a gas engine, and the maintenance is significantly less. There’s no need to change the oil, the brakes last longer, and your drive is overall quieter and more peaceful. The amount of time and money you save charging from home also makes an EV extremely cost-effective, especially with gas prices being so inconsistent.

 

The Average Daily Commute

 

The average driver in 2025 puts about 35-40 miles on their car per day. With the VF8 offering a range of 235 to 256 miles and the VF9 offering a range of 291 to 330 miles, both crossovers are perfectly suited for more than just your daily commute.

RVs and EVs

 

So, let’s say you have an RV or are considering buying one, and you would like to tow your vehicle or purchase a vehicle that can be towed. People with RVs typically tow a smaller vehicle so that when they arrive at their travel destination, they can drive the smaller car, truck, or SUV around town to get groceries, go out to eat, or meet up with friends. An EV makes a lot of sense since it’s quiet when driven in an RV park or camping grounds, and has excellent range to do what you want or need to do.

Towing An EV Is Different

 

However, an EV is slightly different when it comes to towing. It’s typical to see a vehicle being flat towed behind an RV, which means a vehicle that’s being towed with all four wheels on the ground. Basically, it appears to be following too closely to the RV in front of it. However, you can’t really do this with an EV for multiple reasons.

 

Why It’s Different

 

An EV generates a lot of heat when the motor(s) are on, and the wheels are spinning, which is why EVs have coolers and cooling functions to keep the batteries from overheating. When you are towing an EV, those functions aren’t turned on, so the cooling system will likely not be working properly to cool the batteries as the wheels are spinning. Additionally, electric vehicles typically lack a neutral gear in their one- or two-speed transmissions. Therefore, towing could cause damage to the vehicle’s drivetrain.

 

Towing Your VinFast Properly

 

So, then, how exactly can you tow your VinFast behind your recreational vehicle? Simply put, if you are towing an EV, it is best to use a flatbed trailer, similar to what you would rent from U-Haul or another company. This is a trailer with four wheels that you can safely strap your EV onto.

VinFast vehicles each carry the world’s best warranty, which you will not find with any other car. When leasing or buying a new VinFast, buyers will receive a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, along with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty.

The Good Things About the VinFast VF 9

Our three-row electric SUV, the 2025 VinFast VF 9, is a worthy choice for families on the go. In this model, you can take everyone along for the ride across the Metroplex. The VF 9 is designed to get you there in comfort and style.

 

Recently, AutoGuide did a review of the 2025 VF 9. They found plenty of goodness to share from their experience. They appreciated the exterior design. AutoGuide wrote, “[t]he Pininfarina-penned lines are modern and distinctive, with stylish full-width lighting elements and V-shaped elements.” The VF 9’s exterior offers a lot of unique elements that make it stand out in the crowd. The C-pillar glass is one element that attracts people to its charms. They also liked the “twin pass-throughs in the nose” that “feed into a massive hood scoop that helps with aerodynamics.” AutoGuide even calls this design element “exotic” – a compliment, indeed! In addition, the ride quality is enhanced thanks to a 123.9-inch wheelbase

 

The 2025 VF 9 can seat six or seven people, depending on configuration. Passengers enjoy an advanced cabin with a large 15.4-inch center digital display touchscreen, serving as their hub for information and connectivity. That also includes wireless smartphone connectivity. Passengers can also enjoy the large panoramic roof, giving them the sun, the moon, and the stars from above.

Underneath the cabin is a 123-kilowatt-hour battery pack. It fuels an all-wheel drive two-motor driveline that is rated for 402 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. It is also rated to accelerate from 0-62 MPH in 6.5 seconds. ECO models can achieve a range of up to 330 miles on a full battery, while Plus models have a range of 291 miles. You also have access to 95% of all available DC Public Fast Charging stations across the U.S.A.

 

The 2025 VF 9 is backed by one of the best warranties of any new vehicle in this country. Peace of mind comes from a 10-year/125,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty plus a 10-year/unlimited-mile warranty on the battery pack. Plus, our dealer network is growing across the country to provide you with exceptional service and support for your 2025 VF 9, including your hometown dealer – Ewing VinFast of Plano.

You’ve decided to shop for an EV. How do you decide which one? Cars.com created a handy guide on what to look for when shopping for an EV – such as our VinFast VF 8 and VF 9 models. They highlighted some key factors to consider when selecting the right vehicle for you.

 

The first consideration is the available range of the EV. That will depend on your driving habits and your daily routine. How many miles are you putting on your EV on the road to work, school, errands, and so forth? Do you sometimes go on road trips with your family or for other activities?

 

You should also consider our climate here in the Metroplex. It can range from very hot summer days to surprise winter storms. It’s essential to inquire whether the battery pack features cooling and heating capabilities to prolong its lifespan. One tip Cars.com offers to keep your battery pack healthy is “to charge the battery to 80%-90% and not dip below 10%.” Charging your battery to the limit or letting it run out of power can accelerate the rate of degradation, which may lead to the replacement of the pack itself.

 

To ensure you are getting the benefit of EV ownership, Cars.com recommends installing a Level 2 charger at home. After the initial investment in the charger, you will see how much less it costs to recharge your vehicle at home compared to a fill-up at a station.

 

Vinfast VF9 Charging port

Home charging is best accomplished overnight, replenishing the battery pack in “eight to 12 hours.” You can use a DC Fast Charger to make sure you meet the 80-90% capacity in a matter of minutes, even when you’re out and about, away from home. However, the actual rate of recharging will vary depending on the charger itself and the capacity of your vehicle’s system.

 

Compared to an internal combustion engine-driven vehicle, there are some marked differences in the way EVs drive. Because of the instant torque that is inherent in electric motors, you will accelerate quickly from a stop. Braking is also different, since you can enable one-pedal driving, which sends regenerative energy back to the battery pack. While you can get a vehicle with a single motor placed either at the front or rear axle, all VinFast EVs have two motors and all-wheel drive.

VinFast Shows Off Brand New Electric Buses

VinFast EV12 Electro Buses

VinFast EV12 Electro Buses    

Electric vehicles are a big part of the automotive future, and VinFast is one of the companies leading the charge. The company has introduced its first-ever all-electric bus, which will change how people ride the bus, thanks to advanced safety and technology. More so, companies like VinFast are planning for a more environmentally friendly future.

 

All-New Buses with Great Range

 

The introduction of the first-ever VinFast EB8 and EB12 showcased large battery capacities up to 422 kWh with 250 miles of range. Both can also fast charge at 140 kW and be back on the road within 3 hours. Transit buses usually drive around 100 miles daily, meaning riders won’t have to worry about range anxiety on the way to their destination.

 

Better Quality of Life

 

Electric buses are great for improving both air and noise quality in city areas. While mass transit is essential to reduce road congestion and make it easier for people to get around town, buses are notoriously loud and dirty from their diesel exhaust.

Drivers of the new VinFast buses will appreciate having advanced safety features included that will make it easier to operate them. These features include Blind Spot Detection, Drowsiness Detection, Intelligent Speed Assist, and Forward Collision Warning.

Production Capacity

 

VinFast has the ability to produce between 1,500 and 2,000 buses annually. The company is also able to produce up to 500,000 cars a year in its current production facilities.
