The Vinfast charger sucks!

The home charger cable provided by Vinfast has a lot of issues as far as I can tell: it’s very sensitive to voltage. I found if the voltage is over 250v, it’ll trip. This is something we can’t control as it’s up to the electricity board to regulate the supply. I was assuming the voltage would be regulated by the charger - but nah, it won’t! And the wiring shoud be 10sqmm it seems. Else, it trips!

Sometimes, you may need to go into your car EV settings to reduce your Amperage (I had to lower it down to 16A or even 10A as charging at homes will have issue delivering this amperage I think).

Also, the gun is a plastic material that’s flimsy and doesn’t really last long if not taken care. Mine is broken and I need to buy a new one :(

Second drive after six months: Impressive range of 420km for a 60kw battery!

It’s just over six months I took the car for a second drive. Whole heartedly I can say I didn’t need to stop for charging or slow down to be in 80kmph. I was almost hitting 120kmph for an hour or so plus AC2 with ventilated seats on!

I started in Hyderabad just around midnight to travel to hometown - 321km away.

The range is just over 420km - which I think was pretty good and as it was marketed I guess. I am impressed - ride was smooth, speedy, comfy and easy.

PS: The 100pct battery usually used to show 463km as range but since a month or so, it’s dropped to 457km. Not sure if the battery is already draining but something I will keep an eye!
