In the last 24 hours, GSM (Xanh SM) officially announced its roadmap to expand self-driving electric scooter rental services (Xanh SM Bike) in the Hoi An ancient town area and neighboring regions such as An Bang Beach and Bay Mau Coconut Forest. Utilizing the new generation VinFast Evo200 fleet, this service aims to minimize noise and emissions in heritage areas. Reports show that the number of available vehicles at partner charging stations has increased by 30% to meet the high demand from international tourists during peak season. Rental packages are flexibly designed from hourly (60,000 VND/hour) to daily (200,000 VND/day), featuring integrated passenger insurance and 24/7 rescue services, providing absolute peace of mind for tourists exploring Hoi An’s hidden alleys.
Leading local electric scooter rental provider, E-HoiAn Rental, has launched its 'Green Summer' campaign with a massive offer: 'Rent 2 days, get 1 day free'. This program applies to premium electric scooter models with a range of up to 100km per charge. Additionally, customers receive a smart tourist map integrated with fast-charging station locations at partner cafes and homestays. This trend not only helps tourists save on transportation costs (up to 40% compared to gasoline bikes) but also contributes to building Hoi An's image as an eco-friendly tourism city. Preliminary statistics show that the occupancy rate for electric vehicles in the Cam Chau and Cam An areas reached 85% this morning alone.
A new step in the tourism service business model in Hoi An is the partnership between luxury resorts (such as Silk Sense, Victoria Hoi An) and electric scooter providers. In the past 24 hours, over 10 major accommodation facilities announced the integration of electric scooter rentals directly at their lobbies. Guests can enjoy special discounted rates or receive 2 hours of free electric scooter use daily. This is an optimal solution that relieves tourists of the worry of finding transportation or charging stations, while encouraging the use of green transport over traditional gasoline motorbikes that pressure the ancient town's infrastructure.
The Hoi An electric scooter market is witnessing a boom in technical infrastructure. A technology corporation has just completed the installation of 15 additional smart charging stations at strategic locations along Hai Ba Trung and Tran Hung Dao streets. These stations allow renters to use mobile apps to check battery status, find the nearest station, and make cashless payments via e-wallets. The dense charging network has completely resolved 'range anxiety' for tourists traveling long distances to sites like My Son Sanctuary or Thanh Ha Pottery Village. This convenience is predicted to drive electric scooter rental sales by at least 25% in the coming quarter.
Records from major rental agencies in Hoi An show a clear trend: tourists from Europe, the US, and especially South Korea are prioritizing electric scooters over gasoline bikes. The main reason cited is the balance between mobility and environmental protection. Electric scooters allow tourists to glide quietly through the lush green rice fields of Cam Thanh without disrupting the peaceful rural atmosphere. Responding to this, several 'E-Bike Tours' have officially launched, combining rental services with local guides, focusing on sustainable cultural and culinary experiences. This is seen as a new spearhead for Hoi An's electric vehicle service industry in its efforts toward the city's Net Zero Carbon goal.
