What it costs to charge a 2027 Vinfast VF 8 Plus in Hawaii

In Hawaii, home electricity runs 45.95¢/kWh — put a 2027 Vinfast VF 8 Plus's EPA-rated 76.1 kWh/100mi against that and 100 miles costs $34.97, versus $16.02 for a gas car averaging 25.5 mpg. Here the math runs the other way: 118.3% more per mile than gasoline, because Hawaii's rate and this model's efficiency combine unfavorably.
