Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast is opening four more stores in Los Angeles and Orange County in California, the U.S., the firm said Thursday.

The four VinFast stores are located in popular shopping centers. VinFast Canoga Park, VinFast Irvine Spectrum, and VinFast Marina Del Rey opened on Wednesday, while VinFast Del Amo Fashion Center will open later this month.

At the stores, customers can gather information on VinFast products, explore the interior and exterior details of the VF 8 and VF 9 all-electric SUVs, as well as experience advanced technologies while receiving direct consultation on policies and products from VinFast experts.
The Vietnamese producer is also bringing into operation its first four service centers in California to provide EV maintenance and repair services. VinFast EV owners will receive customer care and after-sales services including a warranty of up to 10 years, along with mobile service, and 24/7 emergency roadside assistance during the warranty period.
Last week, VinFast launched the VinFast community in the U.S. and organized a series of test drive events in California, bringing the VF 8 model to American customers.
