Over the past 24 hours, the EV battery swapping network in Hoi An has significantly expanded via Selex Motors and Dat Bike partner hubs. Instead of waiting 4 to 6 hours for hotel charging, riders can now swap batteries within 2 to 3 minutes across 8+ strategically placed kiosks along Tran Hung Dao, Ly Thuong Kiet, and routes heading to An Bang/Cua Dai beach. Renters must ensure their rental provider activates the station-finder app on their mobile device prior to departure.
Local authorities have reaffirmed that zero-emission electric scooters remain strictly prohibited from operating inside the Ancient Town during regulated pedestrian hours (09:00 - 11:00 and 15:00 - 21:30). EV renters must park at designated lots such as Song Hoai Square, 8 Hoang Dieu, or Phan Chau Trinh Street, with official parking fees fixed between 5,000 and 10,000 VND per visit.

Always inspect tire pressure before embarking on longer routes toward My Son Sanctuary (~40km round trip).
