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.
