Electric Vehicle (EV) maker VinFast today announced an official agreement signing with five dealers in the U.S. to sell its vehicles.

The Vietnamese EV company has signed these dealers across four states including Leith VinFast (Raleigh, North Carolina), Smith Haven VinFast (St. James, New York), Principle VinFast Grapevine (Grapevine, Texas), Hiley VinFast of Fort Worth (Fort Worth, Texas), and VinFast Wichita (Wichita, Kansas).

Under the plan, these five dealers will sell VinFast VF 8 all-electric SUVs. As an expansion, the dealers will also list VF 6, VF 7, and VF 9 models after their launch in the U.S.

VinFast has confirmed that customers who purchase or lease a VinFast electric vehicle will get VinFast’s aftersales services including 10-year or 1,25,000-mile warranty for the vehicle and 10-year unlimited mileage for the battery under non-commercial use.
