In true VinFast fashion, it doesn’t do anything small. Rather than opening its first showroom in the US today, the Vietnamese EV automaker is opening six VinFast stores at once – all in California. With over thirty locations planned for the Sunshine State alone and intentions to expand deeper into the US, VinFast is once again truly moving – fast.
VinFast is an automotive manufacturing subsidiary of VinGroup, a multifaceted Vietnamese conglomerate dabbling in pretty much everything – even universities! Whenever we have covered VinFast since its US debut at the LA Auto show last year, the news has been big – and fast.
From the get-go, VinFast said it would be entering markets in North America and Europe as well as setting up a US headquarters in Los Angeles. Currently, the automaker is manufacturing its EVs in Vietnam but has already shared intentions to manufacture on US soil in North Carolina.
More recently, VinFast has shared details of its battery subscription model, as well as perks for new customers in the EU, US, and Canada that include years of complimentary charging sessions and/or free home chargers.
