Level 1 Charging
Hi, folks: I am a new Vinfaster and a new member of this community. I need some advice. Since I do not currently have a 240 V receptacle, I am using the level 1 connector to charge my VF8 Plus and using it for the first time; as expected, it is a very slow process. I will be getting the level 2 receptacle next week. Has anyone used reimbursement/rebates/credits from your local power company to cover the charge of installing the 240 V outlet? Also, are you happy with VF provided home charger for charging the battery overnight? I have found a few home chargers on Amazon for under $500 with good reviews. Did anyone buy one of those units?

Dont waste your time with a level 1 charger! on a good day you will avg 1kw an hour – to charge from 20%-80% would take you 2.5 days! – Invest in a 40, 48, or 50 amp charger , get it directly wired into the breaker – bypass the wall outlet – if you use a wall outlet you will only be able to use 80% of the amps (example using a wall outlet with a 40 amp charger you will only be able to use 32 amps) – if you get a 40 amp charger have the electrican wire it directly into a 50amp breaker – if you get a 48 or 50amp charger have him wire directly into a 60amp breaker – if you get a 50amp you will avg 11kw hour – which means you will be able to charger from 20%-80% in just under 6 hours.

I had VinFast since few days when I tried charging at J1772 lv2 at my community charger it says 22 hrs to fully charge. Not sure if there is an issue with car but it charges very slow.

We purchased a charger, aka EVSE, way back in 2013. Outlets, similar to the ones we typically plug everything into, are limited to 50 A breaker and 40 A continuous output as Kurt kindly noted. If you received the home Level 2 charger then no need to purchase another one, again I also agree to have it hard wired, no outlet, to the panel. If you notice the 40 A is 80% of the max capacity of the circuit, and they are designed that way. At least off our ’24 VF 9 with current software, it derates the 40 A to 80% that, so 32 A is used. This might be why Aarya you notice on level 2 it still takes a long time. VinFast is making a significant change to their California dealer network as they are closing company owned showrooms, (and seems like service centers), and using “Repair Wise” to outsource service and setting up for a traditional dealer network. (Just received the email)!
