He believes that the acceleration of the overall use of electric motors in the country will be in line with global commitments that have moved in a more environmentally friendly direction.

"All countries can make (electric vehicles) including Indonesia. Moreover, Indonesia has a large market share of 270 million. I am happy, this three years of extraordinary growth. Earlier there were 58 (brands) producing, TKDN and some even above 90 percent. I think this will continue to grow by being encouraged by government and individual spending," he said.

According to Teten, green economic support will create a new production structure and open up opportunities for MSME players. One of them is related to the production of spare parts or spare parts.

"Especially if the spare parts are produced with the concept of supply chain so that small businesses can create components and be assembled by brands. I am optimistic that local brands can compete externally, because I think the price is much more competitive and the quality can compete," he added.
