VinFast to require its EV buyers to also buy subscription

The EV startup VinFast revealed this week that it will bind its vehicles' U.S. buyers to a monthly battery subscription.

Why it matters: Drivers who purchase a VinFast EV will have to pay up to an extra $160 a month simply to drive the vehicle.

• Buyers who don't opt for the "unlimited" package could find themselves shelling out even more in mileage fees.
