TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Ahead of the 2024 Eid homecoming period, state toll road operator Jasa Marga prepped various efforts for its readiness to serve toll road users. Among others is the procurement of electric vehicle charging stations in 25 rest areas.
Jasa Marga Corporate Communication and Community Development Group Head, Lisye Octaviana, said that ahead of this year’s homecoming and return travels period, Jasa Marga added 8 EV charging points in the rest area from previously only 17 points. The installation of 25 EV charging stations, he went on, is part of the efforts in supporting the acceleration program of the use of battery-based electric vehicles.
"More road users use the EV charging stations nowadays," he said in a press conference at his office in East Jakarta on Thursday, March 21.
He viewed that many people started to feel confident driving their electric cars on long trips via toll roads. Lisye said that Jasa Marga, along with other toll road providers, would continue to disseminate the acceleration of the use of battery-based EV program.
In addition to providing EV charging stations, Jasa Marga provides health clinics in collaboration with Pertamina. The health clinics are located at Rest Area 735A of Surabaya-Mojokerto toll road, Rest Area 792A and B at Gempol-Pasuruan toll, as well as Rest Area 66A at Pandaan Malang toll.
In its preparation ahead of the 2024 Eid homecoming, Jasa Marga also added health service posts, police posts, and 599 new toilets at the rest area. Jasa Marga also coordinates with Pertamina to ensure fuel sufficiency, organizing gas station queues with officer placement, and coordinating with police to open and close the rest area when it starts to get busy.
