In the past 24 hours, Selex Motors officially announced the completion of 5 new smart battery swapping stations at strategic locations, including the area near the Japanese Covered Bridge, An Bang Beach, and the entrance to Tra Que Vegetable Village. This breakthrough move addresses range anxiety for tourists using electric motorbikes. The system allows users to swap batteries in under 2 minutes via a mobile app, eliminating hours of charging time. Selex Camel rental services are currently prioritized by hotel partners in Hoi An due to their durability and the convenience of a dense swapping network.
Electric bike startup Dat Bike has introduced a new experience program exclusively for tourists in Hoi An featuring the Weaver++ model. The highlight is the flexible hourly and daily rental packages at highly competitive rates, starting from just 150,000 VND/day. Notably, Dat Bike has established pick-up and drop-off points at popular homestays, making it easy for visitors to access electric bikes with performance comparable to gasoline vehicles. The company recorded a 35% increase in bookings on the first day of implementation, driven by their 24/7 maintenance commitment and on-site technical support within the Ancient Town.
GSM (Xanh SM) electric motorbike rental service in Hoi An has announced a 'Green Summer' promotion effective today. Tourists using the app to rent VinFast Evo200 bikes will receive a direct 20% discount for long-term rentals (3 days or more). VinFast has also collaborated with public parking lots in Hoi An to set up priority areas for electric vehicles, helping tourists solve parking challenges during peak season. The Evo200, with its elegant design matching Hoi An's ancient vibe, is becoming a top choice for young travelers who love social media check-ins.
A group of local startups in Hoi An has begun deploying rental management systems based on IoT (Internet of Things) technology. According to the latest reports, rental electric motorbikes are now equipped with precise GPS tracking and automatic lock/unlock systems via QR codes. This allows tourists to rent a bike at one point and return it at another within the city (one-way rental), a feature previously unavailable in the Hoi An market. The emergence of apps integrating charging station maps and green attractions is strongly driving the local sustainable tourism trend.
In the latest meeting on green tourism orientation, the Hoi An People's Committee reaffirmed its commitment to supporting electric motorbike rental businesses through infrastructure policies. Companies providing battery swapping and EV rental services will receive support for installing charging stations at public parking lots with preferential fees. This news immediately attracted major investors, forecasting a strong wave of investment in Hoi An's EV infrastructure toward the end of 2024. The goal is to make Hoi An the first city in Vietnam where both public and private tourism transportation systems run entirely on clean energy.
