How To Use Regenerative Braking in The Winter

A key component of your VinFast VF 8 and VF 9 is the ability to recoup energy back into the battery pack. This is done through regenerative braking. It works by simply pressing the brake pedal, which generates kinetic energy that recharges the battery. It works optimally in “perfect” conditions. But what if the temperatures get colder? Or when the roads are either covered with snow or ice?

One thing to note is that regenerative braking on electric vehicles works differently than on internal combustion-powered ones. In winter conditions, the brake’s behavior will become less predictable. Any sudden braking will lead to loss of traction by skidding and instability.

How can you utilize regenerative braking safely during the winter? The first step is to adjust the regenerative braking level. In the center screen, you can adjust the settings to lower the intensity of the regenerative braking system and reduce the risk of sudden braking.

One thing you want to do is to slow down gradually while anticipating stops. You may also want to keep a longer distance between you and the next vehicle in front of you when the road surface is icy. In turn, you may have to monitor the roads you will be traveling on. If you know some stretches of roads have not been treated against icy conditions, you may want to find an alternative route to avoid them.

While all-season tires are fine, winter or snow tires may be a better option for you. These usually work in climates where snow and icy conditions are pervasive. Given that the Metroplex can surprise you with a cold snap or snow – or, if you are traveling into a colder location – a second set of winter/snow tires on similarly sized wheels is a good long-term investment.

The best thing to do when a snowfall occurs in the Metroplex is to practice safe driving during these conditions. An empty parking lot is recommended for winter driving practice. This will also help you familiarize yourself with how your VF 8 or VF 9 will behave on snow or ice.

Some cautionary items to consider. Please do not drive on a steep hill that is covered with ice. You can guarantee that no matter how much traction your EV can generate, there will be no traction that can assist you going up or down it. That goes for any extreme road conditions you may encounter around town and beyond.

There are several benefits to using regenerative braking in winter. Your range will improve, and brake wear is reduced. When the system works in your favor, you can achieve these results and save some money in the process through recharging and maintenance.

You can handle any weather in your VF 8 and VF 9. The benefit of regenerative braking makes it a valuable tool that will get you through any weather. Just be cautious on the road.

If you have any questions about utilizing your VF 8 and VF 9 as a year-round vehicle, please contact us at Ewing VinFast of Plano, and we will help you navigate the next surprise winter storm.

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 Offer the Best Warranties

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. These warranties demonstrate VinFast’s commitment to earning customers’ trust, not just in electric vehicles, but also in the brand.

Why Choose Ewing VinFast

It’s the new year, and it’s time to make a promise to do good things for yourself. One of those good things is a new EV from Ewing VinFast of Plano, where we have the best prices on dozens of new VinFast EVs and used cars. Our well-educated sales staff and finance department will be happy to assist you with your EV questions and needs.

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.

Looking at the VF Wild, VinFast’s Electric Pickup Concept

Vinfast Wild Electric Pickup parked on the beach by waves

So far, the models VinFast markets in the US, as well as the expected upcoming models, are all SUVs or crossovers. This makes sense since these are the vehicle types consumers in the US and around the world prefer. However, people also buy quite a few pickup trucks, especially in the US. In early 2024, VinFast unveiled a concept for an electric pickup truck. There is no larger market for pickup trucks than Texas, so Ewing VinFast of Plano shares the VinFast VF Wild pickup truck concept with you.

“We are very proud to introduce the VF Wild concept, which encapsulates our mission to make sustainable, high-quality electric vehicles accessible to a broader market. This is not just a new product in our offering – it showcases our aspiration to venture into the fast-paced and thriving electric pickup truck market.” – Ms. Tran Mai Hoa, Deputy CEO of Sales and Marketing, VinFast Global.

The VinFast Wild measures 209 inches in length and 79 inches in width. This places it firmly in the growing midsize truck segment, where it is just a few inches shorter and narrower than a Chevrolet Colorado. The 5-foot-long bed can be extended to eight feet using a power-operated midgate that folds with the second-row seats. This feature, currently available on GM’s full-size electric trucks, makes even more sense for a midsize truck and would give the VF Wild the longest cargo capacity in its segment.

The VF Wild’s exterior was jointly designed with Australian design studio GoMotiv. The front features a flattened version of the signature VF front-end styling seen in the VF 9, along with VinFast’s full-width horizontal taillights, with the center V logo prominently displayed on the top of the tailgate. The C-Pillar even echoes the treatment found on the VF 9. The vehicle also has a distinctive two-tone lower body treatment, which designers say was inspired by the motion of a superhero’s cape in the wind, showing that car designers can draw inspiration from almost anything.

The model features a very aggressive front skid plate and rear-hinged rear side doors paired with frameless front doors, which is unique for a pickup. There is also a concept vehicle favorite: thin stalks housing cameras instead of side mirrors, with views displayed on LCD screens at the base of the A-pillars, which are likely the first features to be removed if the model reaches production.

There was no mention of the concept’s battery or motors, but the existing drivetrain of the VF 9 would probably work well with the VF Wild. There has been little discussion of the VF Wild since its debut, and it may be that Vinfast is observing how the EV pickup truck market is performing in the US and other regions before launching its own.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a midsize EV SUV that offers great value, check out the VF 8 and VF 9 at Ewing VinFast of Plano.
