Hey guys! After we filmed this video, VinFast talked a little more details on the battery leasing program, here are some of the pricing options: For a flexible lease (good option if you drive very little), you'll pay $35 dollars a month for the VF 8 and $44 a month for the VF 9. That includes 310 miles of driving a month, any more than that and you'll pay an additional 11 cents per mile for the VF 8 and 15 cent per mile for the VF 9. For the fixed lease amount with unlimited mileage, you'll pay $110 a month for the VF 8 or $160 a month for the VF 9. Remember, if the battery capacity drops below 70%, VinFast will replace the battery, free of charge. That is how they are able to charge a lot less for the car. VinFast will also add the option to buy a vehicle and purchase the battery outright if you prefer, rather than paying for the subscription. Its a unique proposition for those of you concerned about the battery replacement cost down the line.

What is the reason of leasing a battery when there is already a 10 yr warranty on it? Most new EVs are warrantied to hold at least 90% of their charge after 100k miles so that means that Battery lease is just another way for this manufacturer to make profit. Charging a lot less how? The car already starts at $40k and that is how much most EVs are currently priced at. Seems like a marketing ad to me specially from an unknown car manufacturer like “VinFast”

There is a fat chance if they do anything in North Carolina. Their huge assembling facility in Hai Phong has been under-used for years, it's getting worse this year when they stopped assembling petrol cars. It's now operating at less than 10% of designed capacity. They also lack capital severely, they had to use their real estate as collateral to borrow money to fund the construction of battery assembling plant in Ha Tinh. As a car company, they have virtually no tech, no reputation and only assembling. Why would they build another big factory in a higher cost environment when they are having huge excess capacity, suffering severe lack of capital and have no tech? Vinfast will build a big factory in North Carolina? It's only a red herring...a very big one that is. I reckon they are trying to create a false perception that they are doing it in the US to lure the American consumers into buying a high-cost product from an unproven car company, a communist-run company, a loss-making business no less.

[@imagination7555]

Vingroup Joint Stock Company is the largest conglomerate of Vietnam, focusing on technology, industry, real estate development, retail, and services ranging from healthcare, education to hospitality. They have been manufacturing cars, especially gas-fueled ones for about 4 years, and over 30,000 cars have been sold and used in Vietnam since 2018. In addition, VinFast is the fifth best-selling car brand in Vietnam. Over 6,500 units of VinFast Lux A2.0 executive sedan based on the F10 BMW 5 Series, had been sold and over 6,000 units of VinFast Lux SA2.0 premium crossover based on the F15 BMW X5, had been delivered. Fadil had been Vietnam's best-selling A-segment car of the year, with the most powerful engine of its segment and a full range of comfort and safety features, but the most well-known one was the VinFast President, which was a BMW X5 powered by a GM V8. This gave the President its own personality! Since October 2021 after VinFast initiated their EV production, over 100 electric cars VFe35 has been delivered in Vietnam. Moreover, VinFast EVs had been tested and they all met the NHTSA, Euro NCAP and ASEAN NCAP 5 star-ratings, which explained why VinFast has confidently joined all the well-known international auto shows from Paris, Los Angeles, Las Vegas to New York. As a result, saying VinFast had "no manufacturing expertise or experience, much less engineering a moving vehicle" is completely ignorant and baseless. From beginning with a goal of competitively selling cars especially EVs in Vietnam and globally, the company has relied on Siemens' expertise to utilize the latest technology. In fact, VinFast has teamed up with car manufactures from America, Europe and Siemens to build its automotive factory in 21 months, taking full advantage of the modern automotive technology to speed up their production while maintaining quality and reputation. Remember when starting to make its first EVs, Tesla did not have any experience in making cars, including gasoline ones, which explained why the very first Tesla cars had so many problems like Tesla doors jammed, unable to stop the Tesla cars even after hitting breaks, Tesla cars lost control after engines started. Just google them, you will see tons of them. By contrast, VinFast did have experience in manufacturing gasoline cars before making their EVs. In reality, VinFast has made not only electric cars like VF5, VF6, VF7, VF8, VF9; but also public electric buses (VinBus or eBus or smart Bus) with a battery capacity of 281 kWh, and the smart buses can travel between 220 - 260 km (130 - 160 miles) on a single charge, carrying 50-60 passengers at a time. Last December, VinFast launched a fleet of 100 - 200 smart electric buses in Phu Quoc, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, trying to achieve its goal of making greener cities in the country. I don't recall Tesla really making any public electric transportation! Everyone knows Hyperloop is just a pipe of dream. This explained why it's easy for VinFast with all the experiences to transform itself into a fully EV manufacturer. Transparent and open, VinFast information has been posted everywhere on the internet worldwide.

@@HaPham-ny2bn Thanks for sharing the info. Are you in VN? Do you own a Vinfast vehicle already. Would love to hear more. I want to support this company but there are so many unknown factors. The only offers in the US was 3K off the msrp for the V8 and 5K for the V9 with the deadline last week. I need to get to a showroom b4 I make my final decision.

[@jaimesantiago9312]

How much do they cost?

[@madridtillidie]

Hopefully solid state batteries will be here sooner as more companies are going electric. Also hoping the charging infrastructure keeps getting built to sustain all of these EV cars coming to market

[@skip741x3]

With the wave of EV tech and commitment to phasing out gas cars now in motion, you can be Sure that either solid state or Better means of power and storage will become the focus for these new cars...its inevitable that the power behind them and the issues: range, charging time, weight, will be resolved.. we will have some Incredible machines in the times to come!.. they will make the gas cars seem like VHS seems to bluray

Honestly the best piece of news I’ve heard today is that Honda finally killed off the Honda Insight for the US and will replace it with the Civic Hybrid they revealed for Europe

[@PreludeSon]

Rearlly? Oh man...that would be awesome!

What did you not like about the insight ? I remember a couple years ago I saw a civic hybrid, they used to have it right?

The last Insight was basically a civic hybrid with different bumpers and lights.

The only big eyesore on the car is the screen. Other companies are integrating screens much better into the dash lines, like the Ioniq 5, not just slapping a giant screen awkwardly on the dash. When this finally hits the market, it may look particularly dated.

[@chriscupp]

I agree about the screen! That is an eyesore for me, prefer a more integrated look. Just because Tesla does it doesn't mean it should be the norm!

[@quangsontran766]

For who worry about battery leasing, i give you an example and please consider then. If you buy a new battery with cost 20K USD and this monney decrease day by day with the battery quality. Now you are leased battery and you put 20K into your bank deposite to get interest then pay to money for leasing of battery. Do you think that it will be better, and you do not need to worry anything about battery quality for whole life. Please calculate and consider which option is better

Is it going to qualify for $7,500 federal tax credit since its batteries are leased?

[@harold1901]

When will they start building VF8? I like the design of the suv and also hp and range. The affordable $41,000!!! I hsve a reservation for Ocean Sport and now they are saying they may not start building Ocean Sport till end of 2023 or start of 2024. If that's not waiting 2 yrs for it and will cancel it.

[@dramendds1096]

Don't bother. It's not worth it. For $41K you can get a real EV, not a VinFail from a failed company. The VinFail battery subscription based lease thing is a complete joke. It'd be wise to spend your money elsewhere.

[@harold1901]

@@dramendds1096 I've been looking at Fisker Ocean and saw on their website and one for $37,499 and lease starts at $379 a month with 30,000 miles. The problem is they won't be building the ocean sport till end of 2023 or the start of 2024. They will start other trims first in July and deliver in November. The problem with other ev's the mark up are so high on them at the dealership and can't afford them.

[@Smeagol0857]

Battery leasing can work for consumers if they are well designed and priced to reflect local consumers' driving and usage pattern, but VinFast's current proposed battery leasing program seemed otherwise. 310 miles/month (~500 km/month) for US$35-$44 seemed a bit too low mileage for many American consumers (that's 3720 miles/yr) and $110-160/month for unlimited miles seemed a bit too high. Remember, car buyers still have to pay for charging and so you have to include that cost as well (unlike scooters' battery leasing/swap programs offered in Asia/Europe where your next battery is always charged when you are ready to swap/replenish at the swap station). Maybe 1,000 miles/month (i.e. 12,000 miles/yr) for $30/month and $80/month for unlimited miles (plus maybe a 20% drop on the car's price) can be more appealing to consumers. Regardless, a new company in the EV market is always welcomed, as long as it can induce more competition, innovation, and benefitting many consumers.

This year, it's getting worse for them since they stopped assembling petrol cars. It's now probably operating less than 10% capacity.

@@touringteg I ordered VF8 with the mindset of a cheap fuel-powered car, rest assured not to worry about too much maintenance. I would go with the flexible option for battery rental. In the future, if VF cooperates with SToreDot to launch a super fast charging battery, I will also benefit from this new battery technology.
