TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The government is currently formulating a special incentive for electric vehicle consumers aimed to encourage the public to switch to transportation with renewable energy sources in 2023. The incentives will likely come as a discount on purchasing electric cars and electric motorcycles.
Citing Antaranews, Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said that he will ask for House legislators’ permission to do so.
“It is being formulated by the government. And yes, we will surely ask for permission from the House of Representatives (DPR),” said Minister Agus on December 20.
"We will calculate the subsidy, but approximately an incentive of Rp80 million will be given to purchasing an electric car, while for the purchase of hybrid-based electric cars, an incentive of Rp40 million will be given," he added.
The Minister asserted that the electric cars and motorcycles subjected to this subsidy must be electric vehicles produced in Indonesia and will not be given to imported vehicles.
