Within the past 24 hours, Hue's electric motorbike ecosystem marked a major milestone with the deployment of 15 automated battery-swapping kiosks along key heritage corridors: Hue Imperial Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, Khai Dinh Tomb, and the Huong River axis. Replacing traditional 4-6 hour recharge times with a 90-second automated swap, this setup deployed by local mobility partners and Selex Motors provides an uninterrupted operating range of up to 150 km per cycle.
Aligned with Thua Thien Hue's eco-tourism stimulation drive, an alliance of four leading EV rental agencies announced rental rate cuts of 20% to 30%. Standard EV rentals (VinFast Evo200, Feliz S) now cost between 120,000 VND and 160,000 VND/day, while specialized swappable-battery units (Selex Camel) rent for 150,000 VND/day with unlimited free battery swaps across 20 inner-city stations.
Hue's smart city platform (Hue-S) officially updated its eco-tourism suite within the last 24 hours. The portal allows domestic and foreign tourists to locate verified EV rental hubs and monitor swap cabinet availability in real-time. Features include instant digital deposit, QR-code unlocking, and remote battery diagnostics, eliminating 80% of manual paperwork.
Market data over the last 24 hours reveals a decisive structural transition toward Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms among Hue travelers. Over 78% of self-guided tourists favored swappable battery scooters over conventional plug-in models, enabling flexible day trips to remote destinations such as Tam Giang Lagoon and Vong Canh Hill without range anxiety.
Hue visitor information centers and boutique hotels reported a 45% surge in electric motorbike reservations from inbound travelers, led by European, Korean, and North American demographics. Zero-emission riding, quiet operation matching Hue’s tranquil ancient landscape, and rapid battery accessibility in the Chu Van An walking street hub serve as key growth drivers.
