VinFast Grows its Dealer Network in San Diego, California

As VinFast grows in this country, we need to expand our retail footprint to become more customer-facing and centric. This is why Ewing VinFast of Plano is here to serve you with a full facility for sales, service, and after-sales support.

For those of you who own VinFast electric vehicles, you expect the same superb support across the country. In August, the Sunroad Automotive Group opened up VinFast San Diego. It is the first authorized dealership in California, serving the city with a commitment towards providing a higher level of after-sales support away from your Metroplex home.

The dealership is located in the Kearney Mesa area, which has access to Interstates 8 and 15 with connections from Interstate 10. It is also north of downtown San Diego and not far from the beaches to the west and the beautiful La Jolla area.

California is a 1,369-mile drive from the Metroplex. The route westward is also covered with DC Fast Charging stations to keep your VF 8 and VF 9 going across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. At the end of your destination is a friendly showroom and service staff ready to support your VinFast after a long drive across the Southwest.

While the San Diego dealership is the first of its kind in VinFast’s headquarters state, there are plans to open more showrooms and service centers in its most important market. EV ownership is higher than average per capita in the Golden State, which makes for greater opportunity to expand the VinFast brand.

You can expect service at VinFast San Diego with a comprehensive maintenance and repair center that offers warranty support while using genuine VinFast parts, just as you expect from us at Ewing VinFast of Plano. Keep in mind that VinFast offers an industry-leading limited warranty with 10 years and 125,000 miles on the entire vehicle and 10 years unlimited miles on the battery pack under non-commercial use. Every VF 8 and VF 9 comes with this warranty.

VinFast San Diego and Ewing VinFast of Plano are among 30 authorized dealerships in the U.S.A. currently. These dealers are located in 14 states, including Texas, Florida, Illinois, New York, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Louisiana, and, now, California. The plan is to create a network of authorized dealerships across all 50 states.

If you are planning a road trip soon to visit all of the current VinFast dealerships, start right here at Ewing VinFast of Plano with your VF 8 or VF 9. Contact us to get started on your VinFast journey soon.

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.

Why You Should Choose Ewing VinFast

EV Charging Infrastructure Is Quietly, Steadily Growing

VinFast VF8 Plus Charging at a Home Charger

The biggest EV hurdle—access to convenient and reliable public chargers—has been quietly improving, with numbers increasing faster than in previous years. Paren is a data analytics company that monitors the growth of public charging stations. It shows that multiple charging networks are on track to add 3,000 more DC fast charging stations in 2025 compared to 2024. Ewing Vinfast provides some details.

The year 2024 was significant for public charger growth, but the process encountered some obstacles, including permitting and charger vandalism. Although many thought this would slow down or stop charger expansion, it now seems these were more like speed bumps than roadblocks. Charger companies have found solutions to the problems and are now making progress.

Paren chief analyst Loren McDonald sees signs of things changing for the better. “The fast-charging industry is deploying new [DC fast-charging] ports and stations at its highest pace ever in the U.S.,” McDonald posted on LinkedIn this week. “Don’t believe the FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt). The charging industry is moving full speed ahead, building larger, higher-power stations with amenities, greater reliability, and a better customer experience.”

One ominous sign occurred in April 2024 when Elon Musk seemingly impulsively fired his entire Supercharger team. Ironically, the incident happened just as many EV manufacturers were pledging to adopt Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) port in future vehicles, supply NACS adaptors for their current EV models, and thus increase business at Tesla Supercharger stations. The adapters had a shaky start but are now becoming readily available, and the Supercharger side of the business appears to be a major growth opportunity.

McDonald points to more companies building charging networks, including automakers like Mercedes-Benz and Rivian. It is possibly analogous to the early sixties when electronics manufacturers helped support color production for TV shows to boost color TV sales.

Additionally, companies focused on highway travel, such as Pilot/Flying J truck stops, Buc-ees, and Walmart—which simply have locations everywhere—see opportunities and are adding charging stations. This expansion is also coming from dedicated charging firms like Ionna and BP Pulse. Another development is that you are starting to see more amenities at these locations, including covered areas, bathrooms, and even customer lounges. McDonald calls this the “Charging 2.0” era and believes it could lead to a bigger growth leap than what the industry has experienced so far.

No manufacturer wanted to fall behind in the EV transition, and that may have led to more vehicles being produced before the infrastructure could support them—but now the infrastructure is catching up. Meanwhile, multiple studies show that EV owners rarely go back to gas-powered vehicles, which is a positive sign for the industry and indicates a steady, long-term flow of charging customers even without sharp increases in EV sales.

Of course, this only matters when EV owners decide to travel. For everyday use, nothing beats a Level 2 charger at home, where you can charge when you get back and head out each day with 200 to 300 miles or more at your disposal. See why EV owners don’t want to go back by checking out our attractive VF8 and VF9 models, and find out how you can get a free Level 2 VinFast home charger at Ewing VinFast.

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.
