In the past 24 hours, the biggest highlight in the Hoi An tourism market has been the expansion of the battery-swapping station network for electric scooters. Instead of taking 3-4 hours to fully charge, tourists renting new-generation electric bikes can now swap batteries in less than 2 minutes at tourism business points along Hai Ba Trung and Cua Dai streets. This technology completely resolves the anxiety of running out of power while traveling to distant spots like the Bay Mau Coconut Forest or Thanh Ha Pottery Village. Rental companies are prioritizing the Selex Camel model due to its high load capacity and a range of up to 150km per swap.
At major rental shops on Hung Vuong and Ly Thuong Kiet streets, VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S models are becoming the top choice for international tourists. Featuring stylish designs perfect for check-ins in the Ancient Town, rental agencies have added over 200 units this quarter. Notably, daily rental packages are being offered at promotional prices ranging from 150,000 VND to 200,000 VND. This trend not only reduces noise in the heritage space but also saves up to 80% in fuel costs compared to traditional gasoline bikes.
A new step forward in the digital travel experience in Hoi An is the integration of charging stations and electric scooter rental maps into a mobile application. Tourists can easily locate the nearest bike, check remaining battery capacity, and pay via e-wallets. This feature is particularly attractive to self-sufficient travelers from Korea and Europe who value convenience and price transparency. The app also provides a list of hotels that offer free electric charging for staying guests.
To promote the eco-city goal, many electric bike rental businesses in Hoi An have launched the year's largest promotion. Tourists only need to present a green tourism card or book in advance via the website to receive an immediate 30% discount on the rental price. Additionally, the 'Electric Bike Rental + Coconut Forest Ticket' combo is the best-selling product, helping travelers save about 100,000 VND per trip. This is a collective effort by the business community to completely replace gasoline motorcycles in the central area by 2025.
Latest statistics from travel agencies show that the number of Korean tourists requesting electric scooter services has increased by 45% compared to the same period last month. Customers prioritize models integrated with durable Lithium-ion batteries and easy operation. Rental shops in the An Bang and Tan Thanh areas are boosting 24/7 delivery services and rapid technical support via WhatsApp/KakaoTalk. The transition to electric vehicles is not just a temporary trend but is becoming the new standard for sustainable tourism in Hoi An, where heritage conservation goes hand-in-hand with environmental protection.
