both are awesome picks, but if I had to choose, I’d go with the VF9, especially if you’re into road trips or need extra space. It is significantly larger, and spacious. The VF8 is great for everyday stuff, but that longer range on the VF9 is super tempting. Plus, if you're thinking about family...

Summer charging can be a pain, especially when the garage turns into a furnace. Heat makes the battery management system slow things down to protect the cells. Your trick of moving it outside makes total sense. If parking outside isn't always an option, maybe try cracking the garage door open...

When you are just starting out, charging a VF loaner can be a challenging task since it isn't yours. The account and vin number of the vehicle isn't registered to you. A credit card or an application such as PlugShare or ChargePoint ought to be compatible with the majority of public stations...

sounds frustrating, especially for a new EV! what charger did you get? is it from a dealer? For a Level 2 charger, getting just a 25% increase in 8 hours is definitely not normal. A healthy Level 2 charger should be delivering somewhere around 7-11 kW per hour, so something's off here. It could...

what you're describing sounds like it could be an issue with the connection or even the electrical supply. Usually at the fault of the installer or the property, like cables, power delivery, etc. Flickering yellow lights generally indicate a grounding fault or an interruption in the power flow...

It really is a thing! Different EV brands have told me terrible stories about their 12v batteries, so it looks like these problems can happen to anyone. A small part is causing a lot of trouble in high-tech electric vehicles, which is kind of funny. We hope that companies like VinFast will start...

With an 85 kWh battery and only charging from 20% to 80%, you should have used closer to 50-55 kWh max. So 95 kWh does sound off. It’s possible that there were energy losses due to inefficiency or station miscalculation. A price of $39 for that session also seems high, definitely not what you'd...

That sounds like a really rough experience with the VF8—especially for it all to happen in just two months! 😖 Charging taking that long for such a small bump is unacceptable, and the random shutdowns, AEB failures, and all the other issues sound like a never-ending headache. Glad to hear the...

I haven’t installed mine yet, but I’m on the fence about doing it myself. I love a good DIY project, but electrical stuff makes me a little nervous. I was thinking about at least getting a quote from an electrician to see if it’s worth the trouble. 🤷‍♂️ For anyone who’s done it themselves, was...

I kinda agree, since NACS is kinda getting popular. Jumping on the Tesla NACS standard would be a huge win for VinFast and us drivers. I mean, why not tap into a charging network that’s already proven to work so well? If they provide adapters, it could probably (PROBABLY) make VinFast way more...
