JAKARTA - The subsidy program for purchasing battery-based electric motorcycles run by the government is scheduled to end in 2024.

In the government assistance program for the purchase of electric motorized vehicles based on two-wheeled batteries, residents can get a discount of IDR 7 million in the purchase of electric motorcycles.

The provision of assistance is carried out with a quota set by the government based on population identification number data. In this case, a resident can only get assistance in one time the purchase of an electric motorcycle.

Responding to the end of this incentive, Deputy Minister of Industry (Wamenperin) Faisol Riza conveyed good news regarding the continuation of the incentive program in purchasing electric motorcycles next year.

"God willing," he said, quoted from ANTARA, when asked about the extension of the 2025 electric motorcycle incentive program after the opening of the Indonesia Motorcycle Show (IMOS) 2024 at ICE BSD City, Tangerang, Banten, Wednesday.

Faisol said that the validity period of the incentive program for the purchase of electric motorcycles will end soon.

"But we will try, we will help the community and help the environment, hopefully as soon as possible," he said.

According to him, the Ministry of Industry has coordinated with the Ministry of Finance regarding the extension of subsidies in the purchase of electric motorcycles in 2025.

However, Faisol has not been able to reveal the scheme or amount of subsidies that will be implemented next year by the government to encourage increased use of electric vehicles.

He stated that incentives for purchasing electric motorcycles are needed to support the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem.

According to him, the implementation of this policy can also have an impact on increasing investment, increasing productivity and industrial competitiveness, as well as expanding employment opportunities.
