    What is the power the VF8/VF9 have on Level 2 240v and DC fast charging? Is using a DC 350kW fast charger a waste?

    Is there a bi-directional charge port as found on the most recent EV vehicles?

    I believe the level 2 is up to 60 kW and I know the level 3 is up to 250 kW. Using a 350 will only net the capability of the vehicle, which in this case means it will only put out up to 250.

    Level 2 charging is capped at 48 amps ( 11.5 kw) according to Vinfast reps.

    The specs list a 10-70% in 35min for the VF9 extended range. That would give an average of 125kW. So the peak is probably around 150kW but most likely not 250 or 350. I’m sure we’ll know more when the first vehicles are in the hands of the customers 🙂

      I specifically asked VF and they said 250.

    All these various numbers. Does Vinfast have any representatives on this “Community Forum”? Why is getting information so hard?

      Yes I was wondering that too. But I think for charging a lot of the numbers from the manufacturer are “up to” numbers and getting 3rd party data of real life charging curve is more useful.

      In general I had more luck getting official answers from the chat on the main website than on this forum
