The battery and charging system of an electric vehicle are heavily dependent on the reliability of the vehicle. A relatively small battery keeps costs down on the VinFast VF3, but its longevity and real world performance have been questioned. Concerns have surrounded the battery's durability against road debris, and whether it would be able to last over time. The charging system is also coming in for flak because of its limited use case: it requires an adapter for AC charging. How does the VF3’s battery technology stand up against other EVs in its class? Is the fear of battery life and charging limitations valid? How has VF3 really been for real world battery reliability and charging convenience?
