Over the past 24 hours, the Hoi An electric vehicle market has recorded a powerful shift toward electric scooters utilizing rapid battery-swapping technology. Major rental agencies in Hoi An have partnered with Selex Motors and Dat Bike to establish 5 additional automatic battery-swapping stations around the periphery of the Ancient Town. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours for a charge, renters can now swap for a fully charged battery in under 2 minutes via a mobile app, ensuring an uninterrupted journey.
The Hoi An municipal government has issued an urgent notice for tourists operating electric scooters. Despite being eco-friendly, electric scooters are strictly prohibited inside the pedestrian-only zones of the Ancient Town during specific hours: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM - 9:30 PM. Tourists must park their vehicles at designated electric vehicle parking lots located on Phan Chau Trinh and Hoang Dieu streets to avoid administrative fines.
To promote sustainable tourism, leading electric scooter rental agencies in Hoi An have launched attractive promotional packages. Specifically, tourists renting an electric scooter for 3 days or more will receive an immediate 15% discount on the total bill or 1 free rental day. Notably, those renting this week will enjoy completely free battery swaps at all public swapping stations throughout their rental period.
The latest updates from local authorities emphasize traffic safety controls for foreign tourists. For high-capacity electric scooters exceeding 4kW (equivalent to a 110cc internal combustion engine), tourists are legally required to possess a valid International Driving Permit (IDP). For electric scooters under 4kW, no license is required, but wearing a standard safety helmet provided by the rental agency is strictly mandatory.
Pioneering electric scooter rental companies in Hoi An have recently updated their dedicated digital navigation apps for renters. The app not only accurately locates the nearest charging and battery-swapping stations but also suggests zero-emission routes connecting Hoi An Ancient Town to Tra Que Vegetable Village, Cam Thanh Coconut Forest, and An Bang Beach. This integration optimizes battery consumption and delivers a seamless ecotourism experience.
