HO CHI MINH CITY -- VinFast drivers will be able to charge their electric vehicles on a U.S. network created by Volkswagen, Vietnam's only fully fledged automaker said while announcing prices for its battery subscription service and a foray into the crypto sector.

The auto arm of Vingroup and the Electrify America charging network announced the tie-up late on Wednesday at the New York International Auto Show. Electrify America was founded when VW agreed to invest $2 billion in EV charging infrastructure as part of its settlement with U.S. authorities after the Audi and Porsche parent was found faking emissions data.
