How to Car Camp with Your VinFast

VinFast VF8 Driving on the Road

VinFast VF8 Driving on the RoadIf you are an avid camping enthusiast or are interested in doing some more outdoor activities in the near future, there is no better option than an all-electric vehicle like the VinFast VF8 and VF9. Both VinFast models come equipped with Camp Mode that allows for the LED parking lights to be illuminated and uses low amounts of energy from the battery system to power the sound system for a late night hang out session.

Using Camp Mode in your VinFast makes it easy to bring lights and music to your outdoor hangout without draining the battery. Owners can also utilize the vehicle’s in-car WiFi to use Sony RIDEVU to watch 2,000 different movies and TV shows owned by Sony Entertainment.

To enable this mode, you can either use the 15.6-inch touchscreen or the VinFast mobile app. If you are in your car, make sure you have Park (P) selected and the electronic parking brake engaged. According to VinFast, the battery must be above 25% state of charge. On the touchscreen, touch Quick Controls on the screen and select Camp Mode. When you are ready to turn this mode off, simply tap Exit Camp Mode, located above the overhead view of the vehicle on the left of the screen. If your vehicle’s battery drops below 15%, Camp Mode will automatically be deactivated.

The beauty of this mode is that you don’t even have to be camping to use it. Say you’re at a friend’s house and he or she is having a bonfire. Or maybe you’re at an outdoor event and the sound system goes out and you have the only non-gas vehicle that won’t kill its battery by using the sound system for the next couple of hours. Better yet, let’s say you and your friends are out at the beach having a nice, peaceful evening. There’s nothing better than crashing waves and the subtle sounds of great tunes while your pathway is illuminated thanks to your EV’s low-energy LED lighting.

Don’t forget, your VinFast VF8 or VF9 has the world’s strongest and best vehicle protection plan with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty.

VinFast VF8 Offers Lowest Barrier of Entry into the EV World

VinFast VF8 Front Side View

VinFast VF8 Front Side ViewWhen it comes to buying your first electric vehicle, there are tons of options on the market and lots of information to digest, including trim levels, setups (single, dual, or tri-motor), charging speeds, and the like. EVs can also be expensive because the technology is still new. And there is always the question, “Is the $7,500 tax credit a discount when I buy the car?” This is where VinFast has made it easier for buyers to understand what they are getting with their VF8s.  

With the VF8 customers are getting one battery, an 87.7-kWh dual-motor setup. With nearly every EV there is a choice of either two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The VF8 is simply all-wheel drive. Most EVs also have half a dozen or so trim levels with a multitude of packages. Not so with the VinFast. There are two trim levels, Eco and Plus. There aren’t really any packages. Both models sport Head-Up Display (HUD) as standard, a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen display, Sony RIDEVU in-car entertainment, every safety feature imaginable, 11 airbags, camp mode, and more.  

VinFast VF8 Interior ViewThe only differences between the two trim levels are power and range. The Eco has 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with 264 miles of driving range, and the Plus has 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque with 243 miles of range. Both models can charge from 10 to 70 percent of battery capacity in just 35 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger, which means you can go shopping or grab a bite to eat with friends while your car charges—no need to make time during your day to stop at gas stations or forget to get gas before you get home only to realize in the morning that you’re now going to be late for work.  

Throw in the fantastic VinFast mobile app, and you will see why customers are starting to understand what makes VinFast so great. With the app you can schedule and check on the status of your car when it’s in for service. Unlike most other EV car companies’ apps, this one allows you to save your payment details to be used at nearly every different paid charging station. Most companies force you to download their specific app to pay for charging, potentially exposing your private information if their systems are ever hacked. VinFast makes it so that you can use almost any charger out there by just using its app to pay.  

VinFast VF9 Front Seat DetailVinFast also offers its own home charger that is very easy to use and have installed. The company’s charger offers 12 kW, or 240 volts and 50 amps, of max power that will easily charge your car’s battery without any issues while you relax in your home. Plus, you can check the charging status on the mobile app. You can even set up what times you’d like the battery to start charging and when you want it fully charged by.  

To get your own VinFast VF8, the company is currently offering the most competitive leasing specials to help you see the true value of its car. The VF8 Eco will run you just $279 per month for 24 months with $974 due before you drive off. Or, if you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost only $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months. 

VinFast also offers the best warranty in the whole automotive industry with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. There is currently no company making an EV that this level of confidence in its vehicles—not even Tesla.
