It is believed that electric vehicles in Indonesia are still developing. Both electric cars and electric motorbikes.
In fact, it could be said that the number is still not significant when compared to other ASEAN countries which have a balanced automotive market capacity, such as Thailand.
Recently, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Arifin Tasrif, said that the number of electric vehicles as of October 23 2023 was 74,988 electric motorbikes, 20,414 electric cars, 320 electric tricycles, 80 electric buses and goods cars. 10 units.
“The government has a target of 5 million new electric motorbikes and 6 million converted electric motorbikes by 2025,” said Arifin.
Indonesia actually hopes a lot for electric motorbikes. It’s just that the policies implemented so far have not succeeded in tempting the public.
The uptake of subsidized electric motorbikes of Rp. 7 million has not been maximized, even though the conditions have been made easier. This can be seen from the sales data of Sisapira (Two-Wheeled Motorized Vehicle Purchase Assistance Information System).
The government is providing subsidies for electric motorbikes in new condition of 200 thousand units until the end of the year, in fact currently there are 38 electric motorbike models registered to receive this relief.
But based on the Sisapira website, there are still 186,265 thousand quota units as of Wednesday 22 November 2023, at 16.01 WIB. Only 4,148 units have been distributed to consumers, 3,221 units have been verified, and there are still 6,366 units still stuck in the registration process.
