VOV.VN - Leading Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast is scheduled to begin selling Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the Triangle area of North Carolina on December 28, according to Raleigh-based television station WRAL News.
Leith Automotive which is based in the town of Cary in North Carolina will be the home to the company’s first non-factory-owned dealership in the United States.
WRAL News revealed that at the showroom on 2000 Auto Park Blvd, VinFast will introduce its own EVs to customers in Raleigh, Durham, and Cary. The dealership will be operating in co-ordination with the upcoming factory in Chatham County and is part of the firm’s wider strategic plan.
“The VF9, a versatile seven-passenger SUV, is expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2024, with the VF7s to follow soon after,” the television station noted.
WRAL News also quoted a spokesperson for Leith as saying that it will work in tandem with the new factory being built in Chatham.
Projected to be completed in 2025, the initial phase aims to produce up to 150,000 electric vehicles each year, further propelling North Carolina's position as a hub for clean energy and automotive innovation.
