In the past 24 hours, green transit in Hue achieved a significant milestone as Selex Motors accelerated the installation of automated battery-swap cabinets along Le Loi, Nguyen Hue streets, and zones adjacent to the Imperial City. The 'Battery-as-a-Service' (BaaS) infrastructure allows riders to swap depleted batteries for fully charged ones in under 2 minutes, bypassing 4-6 hours of traditional charging. Equipped with a triple-battery pack delivering up to 150 km of range, travelers can comfortably tour outer royal tombs like Khai Dinh and Minh Mang without range anxiety.
Local hotels and homestays partnering with VinFast have updated rental fleets with high-capacity models Evo200 and Feliz S. These e-scooters stand out due to large under-seat storage and IP67 waterproof certification, ideal for the region's sudden rainfall. Featuring a realistic range of 160–200 km per single charge, these smart e-scooters now hold over 65% of the self-guided rental market for extended trips to Lap An Lagoon and Thuan An Beach.
To promote zero-emission travel, leading Hue rental agencies (such as Hue Smile, Hidibike, and MotorVina) launched joint promotional campaigns offering 15% to 20% discounts for online bookings or rentals exceeding three days. Current rates recorded over the last 24 hours range between 120,000 VND and 180,000 VND/day depending on the vehicle class, inclusive of standard insurance, two helmets, and on-site mechanical support within a 10 km radius.
Hue tourism authorities are piloting green corridors and free parking facilities for 100% electric vehicles along Le Huan Street, 23/8 Street, and the Chu Van An walking street zone. Tourists renting electric two-wheelers now access four designated free parking hubs around the Imperial Citadel during night operations, making access to royal court cuisine and traditional performances both convenient and budget-friendly.
Modern e-scooter rental operators in Hue have fully deployed smart IoT trackers featuring real-time battery diagnostics sent directly to riders' smartphones. Tourists can locate more than 30 public charging points and automated swap cabinets via localized maps, supported by one-touch 24/7 roadside assistance, setting a new benchmark for safety and efficiency while exploring the ancient capital.
