Over the past 24 hours, the electric vehicle market in Hue recorded a major step forward as Selex Motors officially signed a cooperation agreement with 5 major central hotels (including Silk Path and Alba Spa) to set up automatic battery swapping stations. This solution thoroughly solves the 'range anxiety' for tourists. Instead of taking 3-4 hours to charge, visitors spend less than 2 minutes swapping an empty battery for a full one at smart charging cabinets. This model is being strongly replicated in the ancient capital, enabling tourists to travel long distances to tombs like Gia Long or Minh Mang without having to calculate charging stops.
Leading electric motorbike rental companies in Hue, such as Hue Green Bike and MotorVina, launched massive discount packages today. Specifically, VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S models are available for rent starting from only 120,000 VND/day when booked via app. Notably, students or groups of 5 or more will receive an additional 15% off the total bill. This program aims to stimulate green tourism as Hue aims to become a sustainable heritage city. These rental packages include civil liability insurance and 2 standard helmets, along with a map of free charging points around the city.
According to premium rental shops, the Dat Bike Quantum model has led the search trends for international tourists in Hue over the last 24 hours. With a range of up to 270km on a single full charge, the Quantum has become the #1 choice for the Hue - Da Nang route via the Hai Van Pass. Rental agents on Le Loi Street reported that pre-bookings for this model have increased by 40% compared to last week. The vehicle's advantage is its 41-liter trunk, making it easy for tourists to store luggage, cameras, and personal items for day trips.
A local tech startup has introduced a beta version of the 'Green Hue' app, specialized for electric motorbike rental services. The app allows users to precisely locate Selex swapping stations and VinFast charging points on a digital map. Additionally, it integrates an automated narration feature at heritage sites when the vehicle enters a GPS-fenced area. This provides a personalized travel experience, allowing tourists to drive quiet electric vehicles while listening to the history of the Hue Citadel without needing a tour guide.
According to data from the Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism, the trend of replacing gasoline motorbikes with electric ones has grown significantly. Travel agencies are starting to partner with rental companies to create 'Green Heritage Tours.' Tourists experience driving electric bikes through the small streets of Kim Long, enjoying lotus tea and visiting ancient garden houses. The use of noiseless and emission-free electric motorbikes is considered particularly suitable for the peaceful and ancient atmosphere of Hue, contributing to the protection of the heritage environment threatened by noise pollution from traditional mechanical vehicles.
