Hoi An is witnessing a strong shift towards sustainable green tourism. Below is a summary of the 5 most significant updates in the past 24 hours regarding electric scooter rentals, battery swapping infrastructure, and local food experiences.
In the last 24 hours, electric vehicle rental providers in partnership with Selex Motors and VinFast officially launched 5 new automated battery swapping stations around Phan Chu Trinh and Tran Cao Van streets—culinary hotspots famous for Cao Lau and Banh Mi Phuong. The 2-minute battery swap technology allows tourists to enjoy uninterrupted food tours without waiting 3-4 hours for charging.
To promote zero-emission culinary tourism, an alliance of 10 major electric scooter rental shops in Hoi An launched the 'Green Food Tour' promo. Tourists renting VinFast Evo200 or Dat Bike Weaver 200 models receive a 25% discount on rental fees (down to 120,000 VND/day) along with a 10% discount voucher at 15 partner eateries in Tra Que Vegetable Village and An Bang Beach.
Rental hubs in central Hoi An report a 180% increase in searches and bookings for battery-swappable electric motorbikes compared to last week. Foreign tourists highly praise the convenience of swapping fully charged batteries at convenience stores and partner restaurants along the route from the Ancient Town to Cua Dai Beach.
The Hoi An Smart Tourism App just introduced an integrated food map featuring EV infrastructure. Users can easily locate vegetarian eateries and authentic Hoi An specialty restaurants equipped with free charging spots or battery swap stations, helping travelers seamlessly manage their dining and travel routes.
Local authorities, in cooperation with tourism associations, approved priority lanes and free parking zones for green vehicles around the Hoi An night market food streets. This initiative boosted electric scooter rental bookings by 40% today alone, reinforcing electric vehicles' dominance in the local tourism ecosystem.
