The first 45 of the 999 VinFast VF8 City Edition cars have been delivered. All of the cars were given to customers at the nine company locations in California. The number of VF8 City Edition SUVs is limited to 999, and there are two battery options. The VF8 City Edition Eco has a range of 207 miles, while the VF8 City Edition Plus, which is more powerful, only has a range of 179 miles. After several delays and minor changes to the claimed range and price, the first 45 VinFast City Edition VF8 SUVs were delivered to its California sales shops on March 1. VinFast is a company in Vietnam that makes cars. The City Edition VF8 SUVs will only be sold in California, where the company plans to bring 999. The battery in the City Edition differs from the one in the regular VF8 and has a much shorter range. The City Edition has two battery options: the more powerful VF8 City Edition Plus, which has an even lower EPA range estimate of 179 miles per charge, and the less powerful VF8 City Edition Eco, which has a rather disappointing EPA range estimate of 207 miles. The cars came to the country in December, but it took the company a while to deliver them to customers. Customers can now get their new VinFast EVs delivered to their homes or pick them up at one of VinFast’s California sales locations. Rumors say that the delay may have been caused by customers’ worries that the electric crossover’s range didn’t live up to what had been promised. VinFast’s unusual plan to rent out batteries has been put on hold, at least for now. When the car was first shown, VinFast told people who had made reservations that they could rent the battery pack instead of buying it as part of the price of the car. The goal was to give different levels of mileage limits, like how many car leases have yearly mileage limits. Instead, the cost of the battery has been added to the price of the car. The price of the City Edition Eco is $47,200, and the price of the City Edition Plus is $54,200. There is a $3000 discount on each City Edition.
