I’m leaning towards the VF9, mainly for the extended range and larger size—perfect for those long weekend getaways! The VF8 is great too, especially for city driving or if you’re not doing a ton of long-distance travel. But if range anxiety is a concern, that extra mileage on the VF9 gives a lot...

summer heat and EV charging is such a struggle! I’ve noticed similar stuff with my VF8, whenever it gets too hot, the charging time just drags. I never thought about moving the car outside though, that’s a great idea! I usually just let it charge overnight, but sometimes it still takes forever...

the good ol’ loaner car conundrum! First, check if you have a charging card from the dealership (some loaners come with one). If not, grab an app like PlugShare or ChargePoint to locate nearby stations. You’ll want to look for Level 2 or, if you’re short on time, a fast charger. Most of these...

that’s definitely not the kind of experience anyone would expect with a new EV! 😕 I’ve been hearing some issues with slow charging on a few VF8s, and it must be a letdown. Hopefully, the service appointment can shed some light on what’s happening. It could be as simple as a software update or a...

frustrating! 😣 I’ve heard similar complaints about some of the Autel units. There's some with inconsistent charging. It’s odd because I’ve been using a MaxiCharge for my VF8 without issues so far. Now i'm kinda nervous, so I’m definitely keeping an eye on it now. Maybe try reaching out to Autel...

I’ve been eyeing the VinFast models for a while now but haven’t taken the plunge yet. I’m still new to the EV world, so hearing about the smooth ride and fast pick-up is super encouraging. Also, it’s cool that your co-workers were impressed! VinFast seems to be catching a lot of attention...

I went the NEMA 14-50 route instead of hardwiring, mainly because I like the flexibility. 👌 If I ever move or upgrade my EV, I can just unplug and take the charger with me. I did have an electrician install the outlet though, just to be safe. The charging speeds are great either way, and with...

Interesting thought! While the NACS standard is gaining traction, I wonder if VinFast would be able to smoothly integrate it into their vehicles, especially with current models. Adapters could be an option, but I imagine they’d want to ensure compatibility and performance, especially with their...
