Indonesia’s EV & Charging Infrastructure Boom: A Market & Policy Overview
Indonesia’s electric vehicle (EV) market is rapidly transitioning from an emerging sector into a mass-market mobility powerhouse. Valued at approximately $2.10 billion in 2025, the market is projected to reach $8.20 billion to $9.52 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 28%.
Driven by strategic nickel reserves (holding ~22% of the world’s supply), Local Content Requirement (TKDN) policies, and substantial foreign direct investment, Indonesia is strategically positioning itself as both a major domestic consumer market and a central ASEAN export hub.
