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.
Leading EV rental agencies in Hoi An (including Hoi An EV Rental and E-Green Mobility) have rolled out competitive packages over the past 24 hours:
Due to high road temperatures in Central Vietnam, lithium-ion efficiency can drop under sustained load. Renters should inspect the State of Charge (SoC) and battery degradation on the digital dash before signing acceptance forms. If a 100% charged battery indicates an estimated range under 70km in ECO mode, request a battery swap immediately. Always inspect tire pressure before embarking on longer routes toward My Son Sanctuary (~40km round trip).
Local traffic enforcement has increased checks for both domestic and international tourists:
