Over the last 24 hours, the Hoi An tourism market has recorded a significant shift from traditional gasoline motorbikes to electric vehicles (EVs). Major rental companies such as Hoi An E-Motion and VinFast partners have officially deployed 20 additional smart battery swapping stations around the Ancient Town and nearby attractions like Thanh Ha Pottery Village and Tra Que Vegetable Village. This completely resolves travelers' anxiety about running out of power mid-trip. The latest advice suggests that tourists should prioritize rental packages integrated with apps to track real-time battery capacity and the nearest swapping station within a 2km radius.
To promote green tourism, electric motorbike rental agencies in Hoi An and Da Nang have launched the 'Green Heritage Tour' program. Accordingly, customers renting VinFast Evo200 or Feliz S models will receive an immediate 30% discount if booked via online platforms like Klook or Traveloka during the golden hours of 8 AM - 10 AM. Notably, Korean tourists currently account for 40% of electric vehicle rentals in Hoi An, thanks to Korean-language user manuals attached directly to the bikes and enthusiastic support from local agents.
An emerging trend in the past 24 hours is tourists renting high-performance electric motorbikes (such as VinFast Vento S or Theon S) for the coastal route connecting Da Nang and Hoi An. For the approximately 30km journey, these models not only ensure a stable speed of 70-80 km/h but also provide a smooth, noise-free experience, meeting sustainable tourism standards. Rental companies in Da Nang have also begun offering 'one-way rental' services between the two cities, providing extreme convenience for tourist itineraries.
Leading electric motorbike rental companies in the region recently announced a 10-step inspection process before handing vehicles over to customers. This focuses on the regenerative braking system and tire durability for navigating Hoi An's diverse terrains. The mobile EV rescue service (Mobile Service) has also been upgraded, promising to arrive within 15-20 minutes if the vehicle encounters electrical or tire issues in suburban areas. This is a major plus that strengthens the confidence of tourists experiencing electric vehicles in Vietnam for the first time.
According to transport experts, to optimize the experience, tourists should choose 24-hour rental packages instead of hourly rentals to save up to 40% in costs. Currently, rental prices range from 150,000 VND to 250,000 VND per day depending on the model. Tourists are also advised to charge at hotels with charging stations (currently over 50 hotels in Hoi An are equipped) to ensure the bike is fully energized early in the morning. Using an electric motorbike not only saves on fuel costs (only 1/10 compared to gasoline) but also allows tourists to easily access small alleys in the Ancient Town where internal combustion engine vehicles are restricted during peak hours.
