Over the past 24 hours, pioneering companies such as Selex Motors and Dat Bike officially announced plans to roll out 15 additional fast battery-swapping stations at strategic locations around Hoi An Ancient Town, An Bang Beach, and Tra Que Vegetable Village. The battery-swapping trend is becoming a game-changing solution, allowing tourists to swap for a fully charged battery in under 2 minutes instead of waiting 3-4 hours for standard charging. This eliminates range anxiety for travelers commuting between Da Nang and Hoi An.
The Hoi An People's Committee has issued a new directive promoting a 100% transition of tourist transportation to electric vehicles. Petrol motorbike rental businesses operating around the Ancient Town buffer zone are receiving financial support and tax incentives to convert their fleets to electric motorbikes. Major brands like VinFast and GSM are collaborating with local hospitality providers in Hoi An to install charging hubs and offer direct e-motorbike rentals for overnight guests.
Electric motorbike rental companies across Hoi An have launched major summer promotional packages offering 20% to 35% discounts for weekly or monthly rentals. Notably, a 'Free Hotel Delivery' service is now available for all hotels and homestays within a 10km radius of the city center. Renters also receive a free digital green tourism map and discount vouchers for partner eco-cafes and restaurants.
Rental operators in Hoi An are heavily upgrading their technological infrastructure. 100% of newly deployed smart e-motorbikes are equipped with GPS tracking and keyless smartphone unlocking. Importantly, rental mobile applications now feature full support for Vietnamese, English, and Korean, enabling international tourists to complete passport verification and digital payment via credit card or e-wallets in under 3 minutes.
A new collaboration between travel agencies and e-motorbike rental providers has birthed a novel tourism product: the 'Hội An Eco-Rider Tour'. Tourists can now self-drive smooth, zero-emission, silent e-motorbikes to explore craft villages like Thanh Ha Pottery Village and Kim Bong Carpentry Village. This model has received highly positive feedback from international travelers, particularly Korean and European tourists who prioritize sustainable and eco-friendly travel.
