Over the past 24 hours, Hoi An's electric motorbike energy ecosystem marked a major milestone with the deployment of next-generation battery-swapping stations along the Cua Dai - An Bang coastal route and surrounding Old Town axes (Tran Hung Dao, Ly Thuong Kiet). This infrastructure enables travelers to replace an empty battery with a fully charged unit in just 60 to 90 seconds via mobile QR scan, eliminating the traditional 4-to-6-hour recharge downtime. Standardized battery models like Selex Camel and compatible VinFast fleets allow seamless long-distance riding to eco-zones such as Cam Thanh and Tra Que.
Electric vehicle rental operators in collaboration with Hoi An travel agencies have unveiled an early summer eco-tourism incentive program. Smart electric scooters such as the VinFast Feliz S and Evo200 Lite are now offered at a promotional rate starting from 120,000 VND/day (a 25% discount off the standard rate). Rentals include free battery-swapping services at partner hubs for the first 48 hours. Booking volume surged over 40% within the first 24 hours, driven predominantly by independent international and domestic travelers.
More than 10 traditional rental shops across Cam Pho and Minh An wards have officially announced fleet transitions from combustion engines to IoT-integrated smart electric scooters. International visitors can now unlock scooters via smartphone apps, monitor real-time battery status, and receive automated GPS navigation to the nearest battery-swapping hub. Daily rental rates are standardized at 150,000 - 180,000 VND/day, inclusive of safety-certified helmets and road insurance.
Hoi An's Sustainable Tourism Steering Committee finalized key agenda points prioritizing zero-emission electric vehicles. Under newly aligned guidelines, verified electric motorbikes will receive privileged access permits to suburban buffer zones adjacent to pedestrian-only streets during peak fossil-fuel restriction windows. This policy prompt has accelerated fleet-replacement agreements among 4- and 5-star resorts in Cam Chau and Cam An.
A collaborative initiative between local tour operators and EV startups has launched an integrated self-guided rental tour featuring wireless multilingual audio systems. As riders navigate to cultural sites such as Thanh Ha Pottery Village or Bay Mau Coconut Forest, the scooter's geolocation sensor triggers localized cultural commentary. Renters taking this package also receive a 15% promotional voucher for zero-waste cafes along the Hoai River.
