VFe34 is positioned in the C-segment SUV segment, in terms of size, it is equivalent to KIA Seltos or Toyota Corolla Cross that are receiving much attention.

On the question why not a sedan? VinFast said that in the future there will be electric sedans, but at this time, the market demand for an urban multi-purpose vehicle is higher, so VinFast wants to focus.

The car can also be charged at home with the home electrical system we are using. VinFast said that with 15 minutes of charging, it will travel a distance of 180km. Vehicle maintenance costs are said to be only about 30% of gasoline cars, but this needs to be discussed in more detail when there is an actual car.

Yes, I hope ID will become an important market for Vinfast in teh future, so , building its battery factory in ID is the best choice , too.

Temporary, Vinfast will build its battery factory in VN first.

-------------------------------
Adopt LFP . battery technology

In the latest announcement, VinFast said that it will cooperate with Gotion High-Tech to develop LFP batteries, and at the same time research and build a Giga factory right in Vietnam to establish a clean energy ecosystem, contributing to the domestic supply diversification.

Charge car battery almost fully in 4-5 minutes

Regarding super-fast rechargeable batteries, VinFast is collaborating with Israel's StoreDot - a world-renowned company that owns the technology to charge up to 80% of the battery in 4-5 minutes, thanks to the use of nanoparticles instead of graphite.

This is a very advanced technology, even many famous electric car companies in the world do not own it. Previously, the company was at the forefront of the world's energy industry and demonstrated its super-fast-charging battery technology on phones, drones and electric motorcycles.


VinFast's high-end car models like e36 are capable of fast charging from 4-5 minutes

In addition, Vingroup also established VinES Energy Solutions Joint Stock Company to develop solutions and produce energy batteries for electric vehicles. At the same time, VinFast also plans to build battery and charger factories in the US and Europe to serve its international expansion strategy in the future.

Previously, VinFast signed a memorandum of strategic cooperation with Taiwan's Prologium (PLG) to produce 100% solid-state batteries. This will make VinFast one of the few electric car companies in the world capable of owning the most advanced batteries today. With strategic diversification, the Vietnamese automaker can own many electric car models from popular to high-end.

VinFast ready to enter Indonesia – Vietnam carmaker focuses on premium and EVs; won’t fight with Toyota​


1634370772399.png

In Cars, International News, VinFast / By Danny Tan / 3 September 2021 4:45 pm / 12 comments


VinFast, which has global aspirations and is looking to penetrate the West, will be setting up shop in Indonesia soon. Detik reports that the Vietnam carmaker has trademarked its intellectual property in the republic and the range includes a sedan and two SUVs.
According to Yannes Martinus Pasaribu, an academician and auto industry observer from Institut Teknologi Bandung, VinFast is not likely to go head to head with the Japanese marques that dominate the Indonesian market – think Toyota and Daihatsu.
Instead, the newcomer’s strategy is to introduce EVs in Indonesia, he says, pointing out that the Vietnamese company started from e-scooters and now makes electric cars and buses. VinFast also has a collaboration with Austria’s Kreisel Electric to develop battery packs, he adds.
“Also notable is that Vietnam has nickel, cobalt and other minerals needed to make batteries, the main component of EVs. They’ve developed an end-to-end ecosystem with the strategy of using the best and most reliable tech. Besides large scale production of EVs, Vietnam is also developing charging stations and battery factories,” Yannes said.

The VF e35 electric SUV, formerly known as the VF32, is bound for North America and Europe
The analyst further points out that as part of Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest conglomerate, funding is not an issue for VinFast, and the young company is not bound by legacy tech, such as the Japanese carmakers in Indonesia. This allows it to be more agile and flexible in following global EV trends.

There are three models in the VinFast trademark documents, and they appear to be the Lux SA 2.0, the Lux A 2.0 and an EV that looks similar to the VinFast e35. The Lux SA is a big SUV based on the previous generation F15 BMW X5, while the Lux A is a Pininfarina reskinned F10 BMW 5 Series. Both were unveiled at the 2018 Paris Motor Show. The VF e35, formerly known as the VF32, is a big electric SUV that has been earmarked for North America and Europe next year. It’s set to debut next month in Vietnam.

We’ve covered VinFast a fair bit, including this in-depth feature story on who’s behind the carmaker, and how it all started. Also click on these links for further reading on VinFast’s global aspirations, its EV battery strategy, and a potential US initial public offering (IPO) that could value the company at US$50 billion (RM207 billion).

Vingroup to build US$387 million battery cell plant in central Vietnam​



1342533.jpg


HANOI, Oct 23 (Reuters): Vietnam's biggest conglomerate Vingroup will start construction on a US$387 million battery cell plant for its auto arm VinFast electric vehicles (EVs) in central province of Ha Tinh this year, local authorities have announced.

The plant, which has a capacity of 5 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year, will be on a 31.1-acre (12.6 hectare) plot, according Ha Tinh authorities.

"From the fourth quarter of 2021 to third quarter next year, the plant will be set up and operate at capacity of 3 GWh per year," the Ha Tinh authorities said in a statement.

"It will be fully installed and run at full capacity from 2025," the statement added
Vingroup spokesman confirmed the plan of establishing a battery cell plant for EVs in Ha Tinh province without elaborating.
Reuters reported in April the company was looking to establish a second VinFast automobile plant in the same region as the battery plant.

VinFast became Vietnam's first fully fledged domestic car manufacturer when its first gasoline-powered models built under its own badge hit the streets in 2019.
The company, which some have called "Vietnam's answer to Tesla", will debut in the U.S. and Europe markets next year with two battery electric SUVs models, the midsized VF e35 and the seven-seater VF e36.

VinFast is working with a variety of partners including StoreDot, Gotion High-Tech, ProLogium for batteries, and also focuses on internal R&D and establishes research facilities to develop battery and charging technologies, the company said earlier in an emailed statement to Reuters.

The company has targeted global EV sales next year of 15,000 vehicles, down from its prior goal of 56,000 due to the global semiconductor chip shortage. - Reuters

The rear of the VF 7 with identical cubes and the front of the car. The rear LED strip lights run across the hips, continuing to create a V-shaped highlight. The triangular cavity looks like an air intake, but in fact is placed a functional light cluster behind.

The interior of the VF 7 is also completely different from the VF e34 being sold in Vietnam. The new model uses a large touch screen placed in the middle, slightly tilted towards the driver. The steering wheel is beveled at the bottom and does not have a rear dashboard, supporting information with a HUD glass screen.
