Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Unless they have dropped the policy where they sell you the car, but not the battery in it and you pay monthly to use the battery, I don't particularly want them to sell any cars anywhere. Hugely predatory, making them huge assholes.

I don't think these would ever be allowed in the USA as a car.

There’s been no progress on building their U.S. factory in years either. They cut a huge number of trees down and then the land’s just been sitting empty ever since.

If you have driven the first Vinfast brought to market in North America, you understand why.

I have not but I’ve heard they’re terrible, especially for their MSRP

The drive quality is nauseating.

Interesting. I've ridden in VF cars a bunch in Vietnam and I never had any problems.

It will be allowed in the category that it fits: golf carts, utility carts, or neighborhood electric vehicles.
