In the past 24 hours, the tourism market in Hoi An has recorded a significant shift toward green transportation. Aiming to become an eco-city, Hoi An is witnessing an explosion of electric scooter rental providers, particularly featuring high-performance models from VinFast, Selex Motors, and Dat Bike. Traditional rental shops on Hai Ba Trung and Tran Hung Dao streets have simultaneously updated their inventory with electric models to meet the increasing demand from international tourists and eco-conscious youth.
One of the most notable news updates is the expansion of Selex Motors' battery swapping station network right in the heart of Hoi An. Unlike waiting 3-4 hours for a charge, tourists renting the Selex Camel can now swap batteries in less than 2 minutes at designated kiosks. This 'Battery Swapping' technology completely eliminates the fear of running out of power while traveling from the Ancient Town to An Bang Beach or the Bay Mau Coconut Forest. Selex Motors released data showing a 40% increase in users opting for battery-swappable vehicles compared to last month due to ultimate convenience.
According to premium resorts like Four Seasons Nam Hai and boutique hotels along the Hoai River, the VinFast Evo200 has become the primary shuttle and rental vehicle. With its elegant design fitting Hoi An's historic backdrop, the Evo200 offers both aesthetic appeal and an impressive range of over 200km per charge. Hotels are currently implementing 'Green Stay' combo packages, including 2 hours of free electric scooter rental for guests, a promotion that is attracting significant interest from Korean and European travelers.
For tourists wishing to explore Hoi An's outskirts like Thanh Ha Pottery Village or My Son Sanctuary, the Dat Bike Quantum with its ultra-large 41-liter trunk is leading rental sales. Today's service reports indicate that the Dat Bike Quantum is preferred for its top speed of 100km/h and fast-charging capabilities. The 'Experience EV – Protect Hoi An' promotion offers a 15% discount for rentals over 3 days, including comprehensive travel insurance.
The Hoi An local government is considering regulations to prioritize dedicated lanes for electric vehicles and bicycles on main routes. This has encouraged startups like Hidden Gem E-Rentals to launch 24/7 battery rescue services via mobile apps. The electric scooter rental trend is no longer just about transportation; it is part of the 'slow living' experience—free from engine noise and exhaust—at this World Cultural Heritage site. It is predicted that in the next quarter, electric scooters will account for approximately 60% of the total rental fleet in the city.
