Over the past 24 hours, Hue's tourism market has seen a rapid expansion in self-drive electric scooter rentals. Models such as the VinFast Feliz S and Evo200 Lite—delivering ranges of over 200 km per charge—dominate the independent travel segment. Fleet depots are densely situated along Le Loi Street, Hue Railway Station, the southern bank of the Perfume River, and surrounding the Imperial City. Daily rental rates range from 120,000 to 160,000 VND, offering travelers an eco-friendly, zero-emission option to tour royal tombs and historical quarters.
The transition from conventional plug-in charging to rapid battery swapping within 2 minutes is reshaping the tourist mobility landscape in Hue. Selex Motors and local partners officially commissioned 4 new automated battery-swapping stations today, connecting the downtown area with major tourist destinations including Thien Mu Pagoda, Khai Dinh Tomb, and Tu Duc Tomb. Utilizing app-based QR code authentication, travelers can exchange depleted batteries for fully charged packs immediately, eliminating charging downtime.
Major mobility providers rolled out promotional discount packages to capture green travel demand. The 'Green Heritage Ride' initiative provides a 20% discount on rentals spanning two or more days via mobile booking platforms. Additionally, travelers renting swap-enabled EV scooters receive two complimentary battery exchange vouchers valid across all downtown network kiosks. Local rental hubs around the Chu Van An and Vo Thi Sau backpacker streets are offering free delivery and drop-off to hotels within a 5 km radius.
IoT-driven rental systems have been deployed across fleets in Hue. Local mobility startups released updated mobile applications enabling keyless digital unlocking and EV-optimized navigation routes. Built-in GPS functionality triggers automated, multi-language location-based audio guides as riders approach landmarks such as Truong Tien Bridge, Dong Ba Market, and the Esplanade of Nam Giao, delivering informative cultural insights throughout the trip.
Over 15 boutique hotels and luxury resorts along the Perfume River (including Azerai La Residence and Silk Path Grand Hue) have established on-site EV rental hubs and charging stations. Hotel guests can hire electric motorbikes directly through guest services without cash deposits, charging expenses directly to their room folios. This integration creates a seamless, closed-loop sustainable transport solution for domestic and international tourists exploring the ancient capital.
