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.

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.

VinFast VF9 Showcases the Need for Large, Comfortable EV SUVs

In a world where every buyer wants a three-row SUV for their family or just in case they end up having a family, VinFast is meeting the challenge by offering the VF9. There is a rising need for larger vehicles that can accommodate people in the third row and also be eco-friendly.

One of the Few 3-Row EV Options

There are very few electric options on the market that have a third row, and the VF9 is one of the first and also one of the most accessible with a starting MSRP of $62,900. This is thousands less than equivalent vehicles from Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Rivian, BMW, Kia, and Hyundai.

What Comes Standard

Optioning your VF9 starts you off with deciding whether you want the Eco or the Plus model. But first, regardless of trim, the VF9 comes standard with all-wheel drive, something most other large EV SUVs can’t say. From there, each VF9 also has a dual-motor setup with 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Both trims come with a Head-Up Display as standard, something that, again, most other EVs don’t include.

Performance

Testing shows a consistent 6.7-seconds to get to 60 mph from a dead stop, which makes it reasonably quick. However, it will feel quicker when you’re behind the wheel because of the no-lag electric powertrain. Even though they share the same powertrain and all, the Eco actually gets 330 miles on a full charge while the Plus has 291 miles. Both are very competitive against more established brands.

Behind the third row, owners will find 7.5 cubic feet of space and 32.7 cubic feet when that row is folded flat. The front trunk, or frunk, can also hold an extra 3.5 cu.ft. of cargo, such as groceries, backpacks, and the like.

Device Charging

Even though the VF9 is still very new, reviewers have been saying that the third row is actually a nice place to be for kids and adults, with two USB-A charge ports, one for each seat. The second row is available as a bench in Eco models or with optional captain’s chairs in the Plus trim. This means you can choose to have either seven or eight seats in your car. If you choose the captain’s chairs, the second-row passengers will get a total of four USB-A ports to charge their devices. A 90-watt USB-C port is standard on all models in the second row. The Plus model also gets an 8-inch rear screen as standard.

Sony RIDEVU

Both trim levels also come standard with an in-car WiFi hotspot and Sony RIDEVU for free. Sony RIDEVU is a service provided by Sony Pictures Entertainment that offers users the ability watch 2,000 different shows and movies from their archive on any device connected to the vehicle’s WiFi or on the 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen display when the VF9 is parked. This makes camping with kids a whole new experience.

The VF9 Has the Ability to Tow

Speaking of camping, if you decide to take your family around the great outdoors, you can also tow up to 4,000 lbs when properly equipped. This means you can bring along a trailer, boat, jet ski, or what have you on your family adventures.

VinFast Has a Warranty Like No Other

VinFast has the best warranty in all of the automotive industry with a standard 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranties. There is zero reason to worry about your new car, and the Vietnamese EV carmaker wants to make it easy for customers to get into their first or their next electric vehicle. Ewing VinFast of Plano has the best models and pricing around.

Is Leasing A New VinFast A Better Decision Than Buying A Used Luxury Car?

One of the smartest buying decisions one can make is to get a used luxury car. You gain by getting a newer car with lots of comfort and features while getting it at a more affordable price. While that’s a wise decision, it is even wiser to take advantage of the lease offers from VinFast for the VF8 and VF9, as no other car offers more for less. Let’s dive in.

There’s More to Saving Money Than Just the Purchase Price

When buying a used luxury car, you’ll be able to save tens of thousands of dollars, but, unless you’re buying a car with an extra warranty, your new-to-you vehicle will have a warranty that is either soon to expire or has already expired. The major luxury brands, such as Acura, Audi, BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz, only have a 4-year, 50,000-mile warranty. Infiniti has a 4-year, 60,000-mile warranty, though. Still, these all pale in comparison to the 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranties that VinFast offers customers.

Current VinFast Lease Offers

VinFast is offering customers a brand new 2025 VF8 for just $299 per month for 24 months or the VF9 for only $499 per month for 24 months. Neither vehicle requires a down payment, unlike all other car manufacturers’ leases. VinFast is also giving buyers a free VinFast Level 2 home charger, a $600 savings. We covered how brilliant and easy the charger is in a previous article. For a VF8, you’ll spend a little over $7,000 over the period of a 2-year lease and around $12,000 for a VF9. Those values alone are less than what you’ll spend on depreciation and maintenance on a gas-powered luxury car over the same period.

Expensive When New Means Expensive to Maintain

While buying a used luxury car saves you money, you have to determine how long you’re willing to keep this car. A car that costs $80,000 or more new will still need parts that are made for an $80,000 car, not the depreciated price you paid for it. When factoring in parts and labor, something as simple as suspension components can easily cost you thousands of dollars for a BMW 5-Series, and since most cars have turbos these days, there’s another expensive part or set of parts to fix when they go bad. Even though saving thousands of dollars can feel great at first, you may only have your car for 20,000 or so miles when you could possibly have a catastrophic failure happen.

Current Used Car Interest Rates

Should we even discuss interest rates on used car purchases right now? Depending on your credit score, Nerd Wallet shows the national average APR for a used car loan is anywhere from 7.67% for someone with an 800 credit score, all the way up to 21.81% with a 500 credit score.

A Much Simpler Maintenance Schedule

When leasing a brand new VF8 or VF9, there are no oil changes or regularly scheduled maintenance for the most part. Thanks to regenerative braking, EV brake pads and rotors last quite a bit longer than gas-powered cars. It is recommended that you still have your tires rotated every 7,500 miles and, at that point, have the technician check the battery system, coolant, brakes, and the like. And with the VinFast mobile app, you can schedule your service appointments and then check your car’s status while it’s in for service.

What Information to Take with You

So, what have we learned? A used luxury car can be a good financial decision over buying the same car new. However, with current lease rates, warranty coverage, and the fact that used car rates are insanely high, there has never been a better time to save thousands of dollars by leasing a luxury EV like the VF8 or VF9.

Why You Should Buy an EV

For most car buyers, there is almost no real reason why they can’t or shouldn’t buy an EV. Ten years ago, there weren’t as many charging stations, there weren’t a ton of options outside of a Tesla, and range anxiety was still a thing. However, with companies like VinFast offering luxury EV experiences at a modest cost, there has never been a better time to buy or lease an electric vehicle.

There’s Nothing Like a VinFast

As we have covered many times, the VinFast VF8 and VF9 offer some of the best bang for the buck when it comes to features, style, and luxury for the price. The mobile app is especially great, as you can use it to pay at nearly all charging stations. Most other cars require you to store your credit card information in the charging company’s mobile app.

Driving Range

Both VinFast models also have good driving range, with the VF8 able to travel up to 264 miles in the Eco trim and 243 miles in the Plus. The VF9 will get drivers 330 miles in the base Eco and 291 miles in the Plus. The days of range anxiety are pretty much over, as it’s very easy to find a charging station. If you are traveling cross-country, the navigation system will keep charging in mind as it maps your route.

Head-Up Display Is Standard

Unlike most cars currently on the market, all VinFast vehicles come standard with a HUD, or Head-Up Display, which shows you your driving range, media information, current speed, and navigation settings. Some luxury EVs offer this as an option on higher trim levels, but even the base VinFast Eco models provide it for free.

Driving An EV Is Proven to Keep You Calm

Driving down the road in an EV is a more peaceful experience than riding in a noisy gas-powered car. EVs are engineered to let less wind and harsh road noise into the cabin, and multiple studies show that drivers often report being calmer and more relaxed in their EV, even when in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Have you ever been chipper while only being able to creep along at five mph on the highway on your way to work or back home? Well, EV owners say they are.

Best Features

Some of the best features of a VinFast are features like Camp Mode, which allows you to keep the interior at a specific temperature while you sit in the vehicle for whatever reason. You could be using the in-car WiFi to do work, make phone calls, have a video meeting, or actually camp out in your car. Other features include Pet Mode, which allows you to leave your car with your pet(s) safely inside with air conditioning or heat running and a message on the 15.6-inch infotainment screen that lets passers-by know that your four-legged baby is safe and that you will be right back.

Sony RIDEVU

The most unique feature of any EV, and even more special since it’s currently only available on VinFast vehicles, is Sony RIDEVU. Sony RIDEVU allows the vehicle’s occupants to watch 2,000 movies and TV shows in the Sony Pictures Entertainment library and archives. If the car is in park, content can be shown on the infotainment screen, or users can stream content on their phone, tablet, or laptop when hooked to the in-car WiFi.

The World’s Best Warranty

By far, though, the absolute best reason to buy a VinFast is the world-class warranty that no one else offers. A 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty ensure that your VF8 or VF9 is protected for many years to come without you ever having to worry.
