The conversion electric motorcycle criteria that have received subsidies have been announced by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).

The subsidy that will be given is IDR 7 million per converted motor.

What are the requirements for converting an electric motorcycle subsidy?

The Director General of New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Dadan Kusdiana, conveyed the criteria for motors that will receive subsidies to convert to electric motors.

The following are the criteria for motors that can get subsidies for conversion to electric motors:

Dadan Kusdiana said the first requirement for a motorbike to receive subsidies for conversion is that it is not more than 10 years old. Motors that are too old will not pass the testing stage before conversion.

Motors to be converted will be checked again like new motorbikes. In addition, there will be a certification stage and will get a new Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK).

"The motorbike must be the oldest in about 7 years, 7 to 10 years, so don't be too old either. Later the process behind it doesn't pass, because this must be checked again as if a new motorbike. Later, the certification will run out at the Balai at the Ministry of Transportation, it must be replaced by another STNK, checked, everything will be checked again, "said Dadan in Jakarta on Tuesday (31/1).

The second requirement is that the motor has a engine capacity of 100 to 125 cc. However, in this case, the government is still considering whether the motor that can receive the conversion subsidy is not more than the 5kW upper limit.

"Or we will not also provide a large incentive for the motorbike. Now we are still considering that the upper limit whether you want 3 kW or 5 kW is still being weighed. It's roughly above that we will not provide incentives. This is later we will target the gas motor whose cc is above 100 to 125," said Dadan.

The motorbikes that own the CC are motorbikes that are sold in the entry level segment. The motorcycle category is currently widely used.

Dadan also said that eligible electric motors and will be converted must be willing to destroy the gasoline engine.

"If the motorbike is converted, it will definitely not use fuel, the engine will be destroyed later. We avoid other machines being used," said Dadan.

Dadan also conveyed that there are technical standards for motorbikes that will receive conversion subsidies. This standard is the use of batteries and electric motors.

"Now we are still weighing the upper limit, if you want 3 KW or 5 KW, we are still considering it. We don't give incentives above that," he said.

Dadan revealed that the battery capacity is also limited or limited. In his shadow, the battery in question ranges from 1.2 to 1.5 kWh.

The government also considers additional requirements for the conversion of electric motors. The requirement is related to discipline in paying motor vehicle taxes.

"One of the additional conditions is that the tax is paid, the STNK is paid. Later we will arrange it like that," he said.

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources informed that anyone can convert an electric motorbike. The purpose of this conversion is for fuel subsitution because the engine will definitely be destroyed. The government wants to avoid reusing the machine.
