Indonesia Ready to Become Major Player in Electric Vehicle Industry
Indonesia government aims to rank as the world’s third-largest producer of electric batteries by 2027 and plans to manufacture 600,000 electric vehicles domestically by the year 2030. Besides, the government along with PLN are planning to build the supporting infrastructure by providing Public Electric Vehicle Charging Station and Battery-swapping Network, helping to lay accessible EV ecosystem across the country.
The future of electric vehicles in Indonesia looks increasingly promising as the country positions itself as a key player in the global EV industry. According to Kompas.id, between January and April 2025, a total of 23,952 electric cars were sold.
Indonesia’s electric bus sector is also gradually making progress. As of mid‑2025, TransJakarta operates around 200 electric buses, which make up approximately 20% of its entire fleet. Jakarta spearheads the transformation with operators like TransJakarta and DAMRI integrating dozens of electric buses. The goal is to operate 10,000 electric buses by 2030 as Jakarta’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions.
