Does the 2024 VinFast VF8 qualify for the $7,500 tax credit?
The 2024 VinFast VF8 does not qualify for the federal tax credit. And it’s not alone — because of stricter regulations concerning which EVs and plug-in hybrids qualify for the federal tax credit, fewer vehicles are eligible. However, if you finance your VinFast VF8 at a qualifying dealership, the automaker is currently offering a $7,500 reduction of the total amount you’re financing! Thanks to this generous offer, it’s basically as if you’re getting the coveted tax credit.
How much is the 2024 VinFast VF8 monthly payment?
As of this writing, VinFast is offering an excellent deal, allowing you to lease the new VF8 for 36 months from $199/month for 36 months! If you prefer to purchase your VF8, you’ll enjoy a 0 percent APR and a $7,500 Bonus Cash reduction in the overall amount that you finance (a discount designed to offset the fact that this EV doesn’t qualify for the federal tax credit)!
When you finance your VF8, your monthly payment will depend on a lot of factors, including the length of your loan term, trade-in value of your current vehicle, and amount of your down payment. Your credit score will also be a factor, because it will affect your loan’s APR. Estimate your monthly payment using our handy payment calculator!
