What About an EV Will Surprise You Over a Gas Car

An EV can be a whole new experience for some drivers, especially when first seeing a car like the VinFast VF8 or VF9 and noticing that they look slightly different from gas-powered vehicles. EVs allow designers to be slightly more creative in various ways, especially since they don’t have to worry about cooling an engine with lots of grilles and holes. But, there are way more things about an electric car that will surprise you in good ways. Let’s take a look.

Acceleration Like You’ve Never Experienced

When first getting into a VinFast, you’ll notice that there isn’t a traditional shifter, and you don’t have to put your foot on the brake to ensure the car does not roll when put into drive. Instead, you need to press the accelerator pedal to make the car move, and it will not move until you do so. There is zero lag or loss of power between the throttle pedal and the battery system. A gas car needs gas to flow into the engine, spark, and then use that as momentum to create momentum. A battery is simply on or off, and pressing the “gas” pedal initiates the “on” that moves the car. The immediate thrust felt when you fully depress the accelerator is all of the vehicle’s torque surging all at once. There is no other feeling like it, except maybe the escape velocity of a rocket heading to outer space at 25,000 miles per hour.

Simple Maintenance

Now let’s talk maintenance. A VinFast, or any other electric vehicle, does not require a routine oil change every 5,000 miles. There is no oil in the cars to change, so that’s one major service you can completely forget about. An internal combustion engine needs coolant to stay cool, and because of this, you need to change that fluid at least every couple of years. However, an EV only uses coolant to keep the batteries cool, so when your car’s brought in for service, the technicians will simply check the coolant level and top up if needed. There are also fewer ways for coolant to leak from an EV than from an ICE car.

Brakes Last Much Longer

Overall, an EV requires much less maintenance than a conventional gas car. For instance, the brake and power steering fluid do need to be flushed and refilled during a regular maintenance interval. You will, in turn, spend much less money because an EV’s brakes last much longer. Thanks to the technology discussed further down, the pads and rotors can last upwards of 100,000 miles.

Regenerative Braking

When stopping with an EV, you will notice that, like any other car, the brakes work as they should. But the brakes of an electric car do something very clever. Every time you tap the brakes in a car, you are losing kinetic energy, so engineers and scientists created a procedure where, when braking, the lost energy is captured by the car and sent to the battery to feed it that extra energy, which in turn adds to the vehicle’s range.

Shhh….

A big thing that first-time electric vehicle owners report is how quiet their car is. Because there is no engine that combusts and rattles, or an exhaust that sends harmful emissions out of a tailpipe, an EV is like sitting in a room when everyone’s left the house, and it’s just you sitting in a chair enjoying the silence. EVs have also been engineered to allow less wind and road noise into the cabin, further enhancing this serenity.

The World’s Best Warranty and Care

There is genuinely nothing like an electric vehicle, and especially nothing else on the market like a VinFast. With their 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and the industry’s best 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty, you will be taken care of in every way. No one protects their car more than VinFast, and it shows in how much customers love the after-sales experience.

What To Include In A DIY Emergency Kit

No matter how prepared you are in life, something can always go wrong when you least expect it, especially when driving on the open road. Your level of preparedness can make a difference in a rough situation. That’s why Ewing VinFast of Plano has compiled a list of a few must-haves for a DIY emergency kit to keep in your VinFast.

VinFast Roadside Assistance

Every VinFast VF8 and VF9 customer has access to 24/7, 365 roadside assistance that is available to you anywhere. If you have a flat tire, a dead 12-volt battery, or are stranded in any other way, the roadside assistance crew can help you. However, what happens when you are in a desolate area? They’re on their way, but it will be a while. That’s where having an emergency kit ready to go can save you time, money, and frustration.

What is Usually in an Emergency Kit?

There is no shortage of pre-built emergency kits that you can easily pick up from places like Amazon, Walmart, or Harbor Freight. Most simple kits go for $20 and will include some gloves, jumper cables, a flashlight, and maybe some adhesive bandages. You can also buy a kit that’s $50 or more that’ll have all those things, plus a tire inflator, a tire repair kit, a complete first aid kit, and some reflective triangles, among other things.

Your Lifestyle Will Dictate Your Kit’s Needs

Let’s say you have a VF8 and enjoy going camping. In that case, you may want to include a few things in your emergency kit that you wouldn’t normally use if you’re stranded on the highway. Things like water, non-perishable snacks like nuts, popcorn, jerky, dried fruit, and the like would be some extras you might want to add to your DIY emergency kit. If you live in a colder climate, having a blanket of some sort would be beneficial. If you live in a hotter climate, you’d want to have sunscreen and bug repellent on hand instead.

Can I Build My Own Emergency Kit?

Deciding to go your own way and put together a kit that better reflects your needs is always a wise choice. While building your own kit will probably run you closer to $100 or $200, it could genuinely be a lifesaver. You can go to Harbor Freight and get an 11, 12, or 15-inch tool bag for $10 or less, or if you’ve purchased a drill from a well-known tool brand, you may already have a bag you can utilize for your car. Using an old backpack or small duffel bag is also a great option to save on cost. Here are the main things you should have in your emergency kit: jumper cables; flashlights and headlamp; road flares or reflective triangles; proper first aid kit with scissors, gauze, bandages, and medications; good tire repair kit; tire inflator that plugs into a 12v socket; tire sealant; and a portable jump starter that you can charge in your car and use to jumpstart a dead 12v battery.

Wait, Can I Jump-Start the Main Battery?

No. Keep in mind, when we say jumper cables or a portable jump starter, we are specifically talking about for use with your car’s 12-volt battery, not the main battery that provides propulsion and driving power to your car. All vehicles need a standard 12-volt battery that runs simple things in your car, such as lights, air conditioning, etc.

What Type of Jumper Cables Should I Get?

Most emergency kits will come with jumper cables that are usually 8 or 10 feet long, but we recommend looking at a set that is at least 12 feet long. While there are rules on the gauge of the jumper cables you should buy when it comes to different-sized engines in gas or diesel vehicles, those don’t really apply the same way to an EV. However, because you’ll be jumping your battery off a non-EV, it’s best to carry a set of 4-gauge jumper cables; this way, they’ll work well with any engine size.

What Jump Starter Should I Buy?

Portable jump starters have become all the rage, which has led to a rash of mediocre products. There are some notable and more reliable brands like Noco, GooLoo, and a few others. A popular YouTube channel called Project Farm has done a couple of reviews on popular and well-priced portable jump starters. The owner and face of the channel does not take sponsorship money, so all the reviews are honest. Some jump starter brands offer all-in-one jumpers with tire inflators and device chargers. Most can be plugged into 12V sockets or USB ports in the car to charge.

Should I Buy Any Special Tools?

With regard to having an EV, since they are much less like gas-powered cars, it is probably best to leave any wrenching to experts in the service department at Ewing VinFast of Plano or the roadside assistance technicians.

Having Something for Just in Case Is Never a Bad Idea

Whether you buy a pre-made kit or assemble it piece by piece, it is better to have something than nothing. The last thing you want is to be stuck in the middle of nowhere or on a dark highway alone, waiting for help.

YouTube Tech Reviewer Impressed with his VinFast Ownership Experience

More tech reviewers are getting behind the wheels of various electric cars, and while most of them have been big fans of Teslas and the like for some time now, some of them have started opening their minds to newer vehicles like the VinFast VF8. Mark Linsangan, a tech YouTuber with over 150,000 subscribers and a Tesla Model 3 owner, recently took a VF8 for a spin and explained why it may very well be his next car purchase.

A Tech Reviewer Who Likes Cars

Since Mark isn’t a car reviewer, he has a unique perspective from the tech side of things. This also means that he isn’t jaded or cynical when reviewing the VinFast. Instead of approaching the review like a professional car reviewer who has driven hundreds of vehicles, Mark sees the VF8 as something that needs to fit his technological lifestyle.

A Tesla Owner Who Loves the VF8

Because Mark leases a Tesla Model 3, he brings a unique perspective and finds multiple things that he prefers about the VF8. One thing includes the 360-degree camera view, along with the ability to switch the camera view angles. There’s even a tow view that makes it easier to line up and back your VinFast up to whatever you want to tow. Mark remarked how his Tesla does not have the ability to see 360 degrees around the car; the VF8 has this as standard on the base Eco trim. He also loved the fact that under 9 mph, the front camera will automatically display an image of the left or right on the screen, depending on which turn signal you have on.

The Perfect Infotainment and HUD Displays

The wonderful and bright 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen also doubles as your gauge cluster. As a professional tech reviewer, Mark Linsangan gets to see dozens of devices with amazing screens every year, from laptops to tablets and, of course, smartphones. So when he says that the “massive” and bright infotainment screen and head-up display (HUD) are some of his favorite features, he means it. He loved the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, something Tesla doesn’t offer in its cars. He especially appreciated the turn-by-turn navigation popping up on the HUD to keep your eyes on the road. Mark called it all a seamless operation. He noted that the wireless charger did not have a problem with phones that have big camera bumps.

Charge All Devices from Anywhere in the Car

Next on his list was the fact that you can charge so many devices at once. There are two USB-C ports for the driver and front passenger, and two more for rear occupants. There’s also a 90-watt charging port in the rear of the VF8 between the air vents and other ports. This setup makes it convenient to charge power-hungry laptops and other devices easily from any seat in the car.

VinFast Is Listening and Making Meaningful Updates

Since Mark was able to drive one of the first-ever production VF8 models from last year, he lauded VinFast for listening to customer feedback and providing this latest model with excellent updates, including the great throttle response, sharper suspension with better turning characteristics, and a much more comfortable and smoother ride over any type of surface, especially rough pavement.

The Best Warranty and Lease Prices Around

By far Mark’s favorite features of the VF8 are the amazing lease specials along with the unbeatable warranty. We have talked a lot about how the VinFast warranty is the best in the business with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. To lease a VinFast VF8 Eco, all you need to do is hand over $974 and you can drive away paying just $279 per month for 24 months. If you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost just $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months.

How to Optimize and Improve Your Electric Car’s Range Overnight

Driving a VinFast VF8 and VF9 is exhilarating. Unlike a gas-powered car, an EV has an immediate surge of power and thrust as soon as you touch the throttle. Unlike a gas-powered car that has so many things that have to happen all at once to make the power and torque to move the car, an EV has a battery and a gearbox and that’s pretty much it.

Faster Than You Think

While both VinFast vehicles aren’t performance cars, they feel much faster than their 0-60 mph times show simply due to the fact that there is no lag or delay between when the throttle is pressed and when the car goes. However, while this is fun and it is addictive, you can lose range very quickly. Let’s talk about some ways that you can improve your car’s range.

Ease Up on the Throttle a Bit

Step one is simple: your foot can modulate the throttle. You don’t have to put the pedal to the metal like you’re the Bandit in Smokey and the Bandit. Your daily commute doesn’t call for a drag race at every traffic light. Gas cars and EVs are similar in this regard. While a gas car uses more fuel the more throttle it’s given, an EV uses more battery power the more you lean into the accelerator. Just chill. No one’s racing for pink slips out here.

Take the Slower Roads for Maximum Efficiency

If you don’t have a set time that you have to be somewhere, or if you leave early enough, set your route guidance to avoid highways and areas with lots of traffic. Instead, take the scenic route that allows you to drive at slower speeds rather than 55 mph and higher. This will allow your VinFast to maintain optimal range without putting much stress on the motor.

Try to Limit Your Heat Settings

Be careful not to overuse your heat settings such as heated seats, defroster, and high amounts of heat in general. If you can, run your car plugged into the charger to use the defroster, heated seats, and heater to get the car warmed up before you leave. You can even do this through the VinFast Smartphone app.

Protect Your Battery

Make sure that you are only charging your car’s battery to 70-80 percent overnight, and while you are on the road you’re only charging to 100 percent when you need the range. This is ideal for the battery’s overall health and makes sure that it isn’t being stressed during charging. But, if anything does happen to the battery and it starts to lose capacity, VinFast protects you with a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty that is unlike any other EV brand on the market.

Take Care of Your Tires

Last but not least, take care of your EV’s tires. EVs can be a little harder on tires simply because of the extra weight. Make sure they are inflated to proper levels, especially with weather changes when the tires are most likely to lose some air. Having a tire that is under- or over-inflated can create more friction at certain speeds, forcing the car to work harder to gain speed.

Enjoy Your Ride

More than anything, enjoy your VinFast. It’s a car that’s been designed and engineered to make your life easier, so work with it to get the best experience for yourself and to have a long-lasting and reliable electric vehicle.
