Vietnam's Vinfast introduces its first-ever EV model in the form of the VF 8 which is set to launch in the United States. The design takes on the structure of an SUV due to its size and has a sustainable focus that can run up to 264 miles for every full charge.
The price point starts off at $46,000 and comes in a slew of color options including Crimson Red, Neptune Grey, VinFast Blue, Sunset Orange, Deep Ocean, Brahiminy White, Jet Black, and Desat Silver.
