1. Rapid Expansion of Battery Swapping Hubs Across Da Nang's Tourist Corridors
Over the past 24 hours, Da Nang's eco-mobility sector reached a major milestone with the deployment of automated Battery Swapping Stations across prime tourist areas. Spearheaded by Selex Motors and petroleum networks like PVOIL, four new swapping hubs went live along Vo Nguyen Giap, Pham Van Dong (Son Tra District), and Nguyen Van Linh (Hai Chau District). Eliminating the 4-to-6-hour hotel charging downtime, travelers can now replace depleted battery packs with fully charged units in just 90 seconds using an app-based QR code scan—delivering uninterrupted range for long coastal trips to the Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang - Hoi An routes.
2. Updated Rental Rates and Leading Electric Motorbike Fleets
Top specialized electric scooter rental providers in Da Nang (including EV Rental Danang, Motogo EV, and Green Wheels) have standardized fleet options with transparent daily pricing:
- VinFast Evo200 / Evo200 Lite: 120,000 – 150,000 VND/day. Delivers up to 203 km per charge under standard conditions, ideal for My Khe beach cruises and inner-city sightseeing.
- VinFast Feliz S: 160,000 – 190,000 VND/day. Equipped with a robust 3,000W motor and a spacious 25L under-seat trunk, suitable for navigating Marble Mountains and light mountain slopes.

3. Active 'Green Tourism' Rental Promotions
Coinciding with municipal green travel initiatives, local fleets have launched the following discounts effective today:
- Direct 20% discount on rentals of 3 days or longer booked via QR codes displayed in over 40 partner hotel lobbies throughout the An Thuong and Hoang Sa coastal quarters.
- Two free battery swap vouchers per rental day (valued at 50,000 VND) on select Selex and VinFast bookings.
- Complimentary door-to-door delivery and collection within a 7 km radius of Da Nang International Airport or the main train station.
4. Surging Shift Toward Swappable Battery Models Among Independent Travelers
Data from rental hubs across Ngu Hanh Son District over the past 24 hours indicates that international independent travelers (notably from Korea, Taiwan, and Europe) represent 68% of new bookings requesting swappable battery systems. Travelers actively avoid relying on homestay wall outlets or encountering overnight charging fire safety hazards, prioritizing mobility autonomy instead.
5. Practical Coastal & Mountain Riding Experience
- Regenerative Braking Optimization: When descending slopes from Linh Ung Pagoda or Hai Van Pass, use regenerative braking to control speed safely while recovering 5% to 10% of battery capacity.
- Cruising Efficiency: Maintain a steady cruising speed of 40–45 km/h in Eco Mode along Truong Sa coastal boulevard connecting Da Nang to Hoi An to maximize watt-hour efficiency.
- Pre-Handover Checklist: Verify tire pressure (2.0–2.2 bar) and ensure battery State of Charge (SoC) shows at least 90% on the ODO display before departure. Keep the rental agency’s 24/7 roadside assistance hotline saved for instant swap dispatch in remote segments.
