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.

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.

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.

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.

Advanced Tech and Safety Features

 

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. Passengers will love the included WiFi, infotainment systems, USB charging ports, and a vehicle kneeling system that uses air suspension to lower the bus at stops, allowing riders to get off and on more easily.

 

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.

VinFast e-Scooters are Just Another Form of Electric Mobility​

VinFast e-Scooters

VinFast e-Scooter Coming to America

 The idea of electric mobility is not exclusive to just automobiles. It is a complete transportation revolution that requires only electricity to propel you from Point A to Point B. With that in mind, VinFast is considering introducing a line of e-scooters to the U.S.A.

 

Scooters are a fun way to get around town. They are popular on college campuses, such as the University of North Texas, University of Texas-Arlington, Southern Methodist University, the University of Dallas, Texas Christian University, and so forth. They are also a great start for drivers looking to get into motorcycles.

 

Most scooters are usually powered by a small two- or four-stroke engine. VinFast’s e-scooters are purely powered by an electric drive motor fueled by one or two battery packs. Standard is a single 2.4-kilowatt-hour unit, with the option to add a second one for a longer range. Single-battery models can get up to just over 82 miles of range, while adding the second battery will increase that to over 162 miles.

 

VinFast e-Scooters

 

VinFast already has a lineup of e-scooters available in its home market of Vietnam. The Feliz and Feliz Light are among several models available in this lineup. Power for these performance-oriented e-scooters comes from a 2,800-watt BLDC in-hub motor. The Feliz models are capable of a top speed of just over 43 MPH. All at a price starting from under $1,000 in Vietnam.

 

Another model available is the Vero X. It sports a modern design, including a TFT color display and a smart key enabled by a smartphone. It also offers 1.2 cubic feet of storage. It was rated to go from 0 to 31 MPH in 15 seconds. This model is currently priced at around $1,326 in Vietnam.

 

These three models are part of a lineup of five e-scooters, including the Evo Grand and Evo Grand Lite. All of these e-scooters carry a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.

 

VinFast e-Scooters

 

The question we’ve been wondering is whether these e-scooters are coming to the U.S.A. While the CleanTechnica website reported on these new models, it did not state precisely when VinFast will bring any of its five models to our market.

 

Would it be cool if they did? If so, would you like Ewing VinFast of Plano to offer them to you?

 

The addition of the e-scooters adds another mobility solution to the VinFast lineup of electric SUVs and e-bikes. It provides a variety of choices for anyone looking to travel without fueling up on gasoline.

 

To get into the electric mobility revolution, contact us at Ewing VinFast of Plano to register your interest in one of these upcoming e-Scooters. We would love to offer them to you when they become available here in the Metroplex.

VinFast Debuts an Armored EV

VinFast VF Lac-Hong Armored EV

VinFast VF Lac-Hong Armored EV

Vietnam recently celebrated 80 years of independence at the country’s newly built Vietnam Exposition Center in Hanoi. The celebration reminds them all of their August Revolution in 1945 to become a country that could develop its own future. VinFast, a Vietnamese car company, engineered and built a new armored all-electric SUV, one of the first of its kind in the world, to celebrate the occasion.

 

An Armored EV

 

The VinFast Lac Hong 900 LX armored car shuttled various heads of state around during the 80th National Day Parade and showed that VinFast is a company built around innovation. The bodywork was clad with impacts from different types of bullets to show off the testing the vehicle endured.

 

What It Took to Build The 900 LX

 

Testing an armored car is no small feat, and VinFast says the Lac Hong 900 LX took 440 shots from various types of firearms and 11 explosive tests in the Beschussamt Ulm center in Germany. The 900 LX was awarded the VPAM VR7, a ballistic standard that’s specific to armored vehicles. This means governments and wealthy individuals can use the VinFast armored vehicle to protect important people. A well-known Canadian company called INKAS, which specializes in armored vehicles, helped design and develop the new armored EV.

Other One-Off VinFast Vehicles

 

The car company also brought a custom convertible VF9 and a series of 12 VF9 police vehicles that will be sent to police stations around the country.

 

A Lot of Work Goes into Creating a Special Car

 

The open-top VF9 took a total of 2,400 hours to build, which required the removal of the B, C, and D pillars, as well as supporting the A pillars without a roof. The VF9 received a redesigned front grille, a new paint job, a unique leather interior, and upgrades to the electrical system. The patrol vehicles also received special upgrades, including flag mounts, lights, sirens, and a redesigned hood and grille. The company said it took between 60 and 80 hours per vehicle to prepare them for the event.

 

What This Means for VinFast and You

 

While you may not see armored VinFast vehicles in the United States any time soon, this underscores how seriously the company is taking developing and engineering cars built for the world automotive markets. An armored vehicle is a very specialized and unique type of build. The creation of the Lac Hong 900 LX shows that VinFast isn’t afraid of the challenge of creating products that can suit the needs of many different types of buyers in the electric vehicle space.

With an industry-leading 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty, VinFast believes you will love their cars.
