Over the past 24 hours, Hue's electric vehicle infrastructure achieved a major milestone with 10 new automated battery swapping stations deployed along key tourist routes including Le Loi, Hung Vuong, and Nguyen Hue streets. The Battery Swapping trend is rapidly replacing conventional charging methods at rental hubs. Tourists renting latest-generation Selex Motors or VinFast electric scooters can swap for a fully charged battery in under 2 minutes, completely eliminating range anxiety when traveling between the Imperial City and distant royal tombs such as Tu Duc and Khai Dinh Tomb.
In support of the "Hue - Green Tourism City" initiative, major EV rental operators including MotorVina, Hue Green Travel, and E-Bike Hue have launched competitive promotional packages. Tourists staying for 2 or more days receive an immediate 15% to 20% discount, bringing daily rental rates down to 100,000 VND - 140,000 VND per day (inclusive of insurance and one free battery swap/charge). Furthermore, rental procedures have been streamlined: visitors only need to present a valid ID/Passport and hotel booking confirmation to receive doorstep vehicle delivery without cash deposits.
EV rental providers in Hue have updated their smart mobile applications to enhance traveler experience. Upon receiving the scooter, renters get access to a synchronized app featuring real-time battery status tracking, safe riding radius alerts, nearest battery-swap station locators, and optimized heritage navigation routes. The system also includes automated multi-lingual audio guides activated whenever the scooter pauses at iconic landmarks along the Perfume River.
Given Hue's localized rain patterns, rental agencies have transitioned 100% of their fleets to IP67 waterproof-rated models (such as VinFast Feliz S, Evo200, and Selex Camel). These powertrains operate continuously in water depths up to 0.5 meters for 30 minutes. This upgrade gives travelers complete peace of mind when riding through coastal and lagoon areas like Chuon Lagoon, Ru Cha Mangrove Forest, or Thuan An Beach without fear of waterlogging stalls.
