The two-row and three-row vehicles were designed by Italy\u2019s famed Pininfarina and engineered with the help of a number of major automotive industry suppliers, including Germany\u2019s ZF.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline image-ct\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/931\/523\/vinfast-8.jpg?ve=1&#038;tl=1\" alt=\"VinFast VF 8\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>The two-row VF 8 compact will also be on sale in California this year.<\/span><span> (Tayfun Coskun\/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pricing for the battery lease is set at $35-$44 monthly with 310 miles driving allowed and $110-$160 monthly for an unlimited plan, but charging is not included beyond two complimentary fill-ups on the Electrify America network.<\/p>\n<p>If the battery pack degrades to under 70% capacity or has any issues it will be replaced for free and recycled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/apps-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>VinFast said it may consider selling cars with batteries included in the future, but that it will focus on the subscription model for at least five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are your FOX Business Flash top headlines for April 14.
