VinFast, one of the major electric vehicle (EV) companies, has launched VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs in India. Both these electric SUVs have been manufactured in the country itself. The price of VinFast's VF 6 starts at Rs 16.49 lakh and VF 7 starts at Rs 20.89 lakh.
The range of VF 6 on a single charge is around 468 km and that of VF 7 is around 500 km. A media report quoted Vinfast's Asia Managing Director and CEO, Pham Sanh Chau, as saying that the company expects a good response from customers. He said, "After this launch, Indian customers will get to know more about Vinfast. We are offering good value. We are offering free maintenance for three years, free charging for three years and a warranty of up to 10 years."
This Vietnamese EV company has its factory in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu. The current annual capacity of this factory is to manufacture 50,000 cars. Vinfast's target is to increase this capacity to 1.5 lakh units annually. This company sees a lot of potential in India. Along with this, Vinfast also plans to export EVs to India's neighboring countries . Pham said, "We have received orders from Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Nepal and Bhutan. We are working with these countries for export from India."
Last month, VinFast opened its second showroom in India. This showroom of the company has been opened in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. This is the largest retail outlet of the company. By the end of this year, VinFast plans to open 35 showrooms in 27 cities in India. The company's first showroom in the country was started in Surat, Gujarat. VinFast has also prepared to create a strong charging network for its EVs. For this, the company has tied up with RoadGrid and myTVS. The company displayed its EVs at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo held earlier this year. The company is trying to increase its sales in Asian countries instead of expanding in North America and Europe. VinFast's VF7 is a premium SUV. It will compete in the mid-size electric SUV segment.
