In the past 24 hours, the biggest highlight in the Hoi An tourism market has been the expansion of the electric motorcycle battery swapping network. Major rental agencies have simultaneously upgraded their smart battery swapping station systems. Instead of waiting 3-5 hours for a charge, tourists now take less than 2 minutes to replace a full battery at service stations located along Hai Ba Trung and Cua Dai roads. This technology is primarily applied to Selex Camel vehicles, helping optimize travel time for tourists wishing to explore from the city center to the Bay Mau Coconut Forest without worrying about running out of energy midway.
The trend of renting high-quality electric motorcycles is rising sharply. Rental shops in Hoi An recorded a 40% increase in bookings for VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S models compared to last week. With a travel distance of up to 150-200km per full charge, these models are becoming the preferred choice for couples and European tourists. Agencies on Tran Hung Dao Street have launched a '24h Green Experience' trial program starting from only 150,000 VND, including on-site battery rescue services if an issue occurs.
To promote the goal of a noise-free heritage city, a coalition of electric motorcycle rental businesses in Hoi An has just launched an exclusive promotional package. Customers renting electric motorcycles for more than 2 days will receive a 20% discount voucher at eco-friendly cafes in the Old Town. In particular, Korean and British tourists are the groups using this service the most, thanks to electronic wallet payment systems and integrated GPS navigation apps provided for free by the rental companies.
A prominent new trend in the last 24 hours is the launch of automated electric motorcycle rental applications in Hoi An. Tourists do not need to go directly to the store but can scan a QR code to unlock the vehicle right at their hotel or public spots. The system allows real-time battery monitoring and suggests the nearest swapping station. This minimizes administrative procedures and provides maximum autonomy for tourists in managing their personal itineraries.
Hoi An city authorities are collaborating with businesses like Selex Motors and Xanh SM to establish 10 more public battery swapping points in the next quarter. In the past 24 hours, discussions about prioritizing dedicated lanes for electric vehicles on expanded pedestrian streets have attracted great interest. This not only ensures safety for tourists but also affirms Hoi An's position as a leading destination in applying electric motorcycles to sustainable tourism development. Rental companies also committed to maintaining stable prices, not increasing rates on weekends to encourage tourists to switch from gasoline to electric vehicles.
