Admittedly I only scanned the article, but i didn't see the 179 figure in there (there was stuff about 260 or something like that). Thanks for posting though because I never even heard of this company and personally will not be anywhere near their dealerships. I won't eat Vietnamese-raised tuna, and certainly won't be driving a Vietnamese made car.

Must be for those city people! Geezus, save our Trash Dumps Just take the Bus,



Every VF 8 City Edition comes with a 10-year warranty, including 10-year coverage on the battery. The VF 8 is rated for 179 miles of range on Eco and Plus models, but a software update is expected to increase that number in January 2023. A FUTURE VF 8 with a larger battery pack should get close to 300 miles on a charge.

At this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, Vietnamese automaker VinFast promised that it would have cars in the US by the end of the year.

I would like to see comments from the LA auto show. Seriously what will this VinFast cost, with a %30 import Tax and what will the quality be?

So Kamala has an investment in these cars?

@DavidKFla I don't think so, but really I like the idea of having an Electric bus for travel in the Cities and also other outer routs too.

VinFast has https://www.sustainable-bus.com/electric-bus/first-vinbus-electric-buses-vietnam/

These VinFast cars I think were in production and now they are just dumping them to the The US. Most likely because there is some kind of Tax break that will be coming a long!

Hybrid busses are what makes the most sense just like many locomotives. 18 wheelers too.

BTW, politicians are given "low cost" investments in many companies...wonder why?

 

[Linda's Hell Cat]

I hear about the low coast investments, I really think they should make about the Electric Bus and not cars.

I think that would create a Better balance.

The UK even has Double Decker E Buses!

I don't know if there is a Hybrid Bus.

They tried that in Albuquerque a couple of years ago. Couldn't get those buses to work, so a caravan of EV buses being driven back to California was shown on the news.

As I recall, every third or fourth vehicle in that group was a tow truck.

Thought they were the new cars in the fast and furious 10. Vinfast

But, hey, Yeah! Let's do cars instead!! It will work because we won't let the peons have a choice...DR. EVIL LAUGH

There used to a be a car named Cord. Maybe reviving that nameplate could help EVs get better range?

what a freaking joke!

 

[Paladin06]

Just say NO!!!

this reminds me exactly of the Yugo invasion from the '80s - most were at the crusher within a year. These Viet-kong POS EVs belong at the bottom of the Pacific!

Lol, yugo! Now thats a blast.from the past
