VinFast to Join Electrify Expo Chicago 2025

VinFast, the Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, has officially announced its participation in the Electrify Expo Chicago 2025, which will occur from September 13-14, 2025, at 5333 Prairie Stone Parkway in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. This strategic engagement highlights VinFast's determination to strengthen its market presence in North America and is a significant milestone in its ongoing global expansion efforts.

The Electrify Expo is one of the largest gatherings for electric vehicles in North America, boasting an impressive festival space of nearly one million square feet. Participants at this event will be treated to a variety of activities including test drives, interactive displays, and live music, making it an immersive experience for car enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.

At this year's expo, VinFast is set to showcase its two flagship electric SUVs: the midsize VF 8 and the full-sized VF 9. These vehicles embody VinFast's commitment to innovative design, advanced technology, and robust safety standards—all qualities that distinguish them in the burgeoning electric vehicle market.

Attendees will have the unique opportunity to test-drive both the VF 8 SUV and VF 9 full-size SUV, allowing them to experience firsthand the exceptional features and capabilities that VinFast promises. Designed with a modern and inviting aesthetic, the VinFast booth will reflect the brand's dedication to an eco-friendly future. A professional team of VinFast experts will be available at the booth to provide comprehensive information about the vehicles, sales policies, and after-sales service, ensuring that every visitor knows exactly what they can expect from VinFast.

Loren Angelo, Vice President of Marketing for VinFast North America, expressed the company's excitement about participating in Electrify Expo Chicago, stating: "At Electrify Expo Chicago, VinFast is once again underscoring our pledge to partner with American consumers in shaping the future of green mobility. In partnership with our local dealer VinFast Lisle, this activation highlights our commitment to supporting our dealer network, driving brand awareness in the local market, and fostering meaningful community engagement."

The vehicles featured at the expo demonstrate VinFast's vision for promoting eco-friendly transportation solutions while making electric vehicles accessible to the American consumer. The VF 8 is priced starting at $39,900, with the Eco and Plus trims costing $44,900 and offering competitive leasing options starting at $279 per month. The VF 9 begins at $62,900, with leasing options starting likewise at $449 per month. Notably, both models also qualify for 0% financing until terms conclude.

In an impressive demonstration of confidence in its products, VinFast backs all its electric vehicles in the U.S. with a generous warranty: 10 years or 125,000 miles for the vehicle itself, and an outstanding 10 years with unlimited mileage for the battery, provided it’s not used for commercial purposes. This warranty policy offers potential buyers peace of mind and reinforces the brand's commitment to quality and reliability.

VinFast's appearance at Electrify Expo Chicago is not just about showcasing vehicles; it's a platform for meaningful interaction with consumers and industry stakeholders. This opportunity allows the company to gather valuable feedback while also building long-lasting relationships within the communities it serves. Following a strategic transition from a direct-to-consumer sales approach to a broader dealership network, VinFast has collaborated with authorized dealers across 14 states, ensuring that customers have access to high-quality products and services through established retail channels.

As VinFast establishes itself in North America and Europe, the company is also eyeing further global expansion into burgeoning markets including Indonesia, the Philippines, India, and the Middle East. With a diverse product lineup that includes everything from the compact VF 3 mini-SUV to the spacious VF 9, VinFast has rapidly ascended to become Vietnam's leading automotive brand.

With a steadfast commitment to adapting business strategies effectively based on thorough market analysis and economic circumstances, VinFast is diligently pursuing its goal of driving a global green revolution.
