There's a new electric vehicle company in town: VinFast with its home base is in Vietnam, and it plans to invest in a manufacturing plant in North Carolina.
First introduced is the two-row VF 8.
The VF 8 features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system.
The VF8 is offered initially in two configurations: the Eco has 348 hp and a 264-mile EPA-certified electric range, whereas the Plus has 402 hp and a 243-mile range.
VinFast has a unique twist on pricing, with a battery subscription on top of the vehicle's purchase prices, tailored to the buyer's expected usage.
A key upside to their battery approach is that VinFast provides a lifetime battery warranty covering all maintenance and repair costs, and will replace the battery free when charging capacity dips below 70 percent.
This should reduce some concerns among shoppers.
A full suite of standard active safety and driver assistance features includes AEB, LKA, adaptive cruise control, lane changing assist, and driver monitoring to make sure the driver is alert while hands-free driver aids are in use.
