About VinFast VF 8 Eco (2024-…)

The VinFast VF 8 Eco (2024-…) is an all-electric all-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2024. Brand new, the car starts around $46,000.

The VinFast VF 8 Eco (2024-…) has a 90 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 249 mi on a single charge — ranked №333 out of 744 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The VinFast VF 8 Eco (2024-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 260 kW (349 hp) of power and 369 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5.7 seconds (№40 out of 116 ranked positions, among 744 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 124 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for VinFast VF 8 Eco (2024-…) is 249 miles, ranking it №112 out of 240 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The VinFast VF 8 Eco (2024-…) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11 kW, which translates to roughly 28 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The VinFast VF 8 Eco (2024-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 150 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.
