In the past 24 hours, the spotlight of Hue's electric vehicle service industry has been on the robust expansion of smart battery swapping station networks. Unlike traditional charging models that take 3-6 hours, companies like Selex Motors have optimized the user experience by setting up automated battery swapping stations around the city center and major tourist spots such as the Imperial Citadel, Dong Ba Market, and the Vy Da area. Renters now take less than 2 minutes to swap for a fresh battery set, ensuring that their journey to explore suburban tombs remains uninterrupted. This breakthrough has made electric scooters a top priority over traditional gasoline bikes for both international and domestic tourists.
Xanh SM (a subsidiary of Vingroup) has released its latest data on increasing its fleet in Hue by 20% to serve the peak tourism season. A highlight is the flexible rental feature via their mobile app, allowing tourists to easily locate the nearest electric scooter. Models like the Feliz S and Evo200 are regularly maintained, ensuring a travel range of 150-200km per full charge. The professional customer service and 24/7 rescue system provided by large entities are setting a new standard for the electric vehicle market in Hue.
Many electric scooter rental shops in Hue have simultaneously launched attractive promotional packages. Specifically, daily rental rates range from 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND depending on the model. Notably, customers renting for 3 days or more receive a 15% discount or one free battery swap at a station. Some providers also collaborate with local homestays and hotels to offer doorstep delivery, complete with maps of charging and swapping stations integrated into Google Maps, providing maximum convenience for first-time users.
The 'Battery Swapping' trend is becoming a top search keyword for tourists visiting Hue. Eliminating the worry of finding electrical outlets or waiting for charges has solved 'range anxiety.' Modern electric scooters in Hue are often equipped with 2 to 3 battery modules, allowing for flexible swapping. Experts believe that Hue's pioneering role in this model not only boosts the tourism economy but also protects the heritage environment by reducing noise and emissions within the Citadel area.
For the best experience, tourists are advised to check battery capacity on the app before taking delivery of the vehicle. Using smart electric scooters with integrated GPS helps users find their way and manage their itinerary more effectively. Given the summer weather conditions in Central Vietnam, parking in shaded areas and avoiding letting the battery drop below 20% are key tips for maintaining performance. Furthermore, choosing all-inclusive battery swapping subscription packages is the most economical solution for those planning to travel extensively between distant attractions like Minh Mang Tomb or Gia Long Tomb.
