5. SHIFT TOWARD BATTERY-SWAPPING MOTORBIKES AND CHARGING STATION SUPPORT POLICIES AT MAJOR HOTELS

Renting electric motorbikes instead of traditional gasoline ones has become a dominant trend among Gen Z and international tourists visiting Da Nang.

Over 20 major hotels along My Khe Beach have installed free dedicated charging docks in their parking basements specifically for guests renting electric motorbikes. Furthermore, the trend of using battery-swapping technology (Battery-as-a-Service) is projected to secure 70% of the tourist rental market share in Da Nang by the end of this year due to its outstanding convenience and environmental benefits.
