In the past 24 hours, electric vehicle startup Selex Motors officially announced the completion and commissioning of 10 additional next-generation automatic battery-swapping stations at prime locations along My Khe Beach and Ngu Hanh Son District. This expansion brings the total number of Selex swapping points in Da Nang to 25. Selex Motors' 2-minute battery swapping technology effectively addresses tourists' anxiety about running out of power mid-journey to further destinations like Hoi An or Hai Van Pass. Rental agencies partnering with Selex reported a 40% surge in bookings immediately following this network expansion.
Anticipating the influx of East Asian and European tourists during the festive season, EV manufacturer Dat Bike has partnered with major homestays and hotels in the An Thuong tourist area to launch the 'Quantum Da Nang Tour' package. The promotion offers a 20% discount on daily rentals (reduced to just 160,000 VND/day) for the Dat Bike Quantum model, which boasts a record-breaking range of 270 km per charge. The package also includes 24/7 free roadside assistance and a built-in map of rapid charging stations via their mobile app, providing tourists with an unlimited exploration experience.
The Da Nang Department of Tourism, in collaboration with the Green Tourism Alliance, has launched a pilot 'Zero-Emission Tourism Corridor' program in the Son Tra Peninsula. Over the past 24 hours, more than 200 smart electric motorcycles were delivered to local accommodations on the peninsula to serve tourists trekking and viewing the red-shanked douc langurs. The initiative encourages visitors to replace traditional gasoline-powered motorbikes with eco-friendly LFP battery-powered electric motorbikes, aiming to reduce carbon emissions from tourism transport in this nature reserve by 50% by the end of this year.
According to rapid reports from major motorbike rental chains in Hai Chau and Son Tra districts, demand for VinFast Evo200 electric motorbikes has surged by 35% compared to the same period last week. This sharp increase is attributed to VinFast's highly competitive battery rental subsidies and its dense network of charging stations situated at shopping malls and convenience stores across Da Nang. With rental rates ranging from 120,000 to 150,000 VND/day, the VinFast Evo200 has become the top choice for Gen Z tourists due to its trendy design, smooth operation, and superior IP67 water resistance, perfectly suited for the coastal weather of Central Vietnam.
In a major technological shift for Da Nang's tourism and hospitality sector, rental operators in the An Thuong tourist area have fully integrated GPS tracking and smart anti-theft locks across their entire electric motorcycle fleets. Tourists can now simply scan a QR code via a mobile application to unlock the bike, process automatic payments, and access suggested travel routes to famous check-in spots in Da Nang. This smart management system eliminates the traditional, cumbersome practice of holding physical passports while allowing rental owners to monitor real-time battery levels and proactively direct tourists to the nearest swapping stations for a seamless trip.
