JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto has ensured that incentives for the electric vehicle (electric vehicle/EV) industry will continue.
According to him, this policy is still part of the government's efforts to encourage the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia.
However, Airlangga has not explained in detail about the incentive scheme.
He only revealed that the policy would later be adjusted to the development of national electric cars and motorcycles.
In the near future, President Prabowo Subianto is also scheduled to launch the national electric vehicle.
"We will see later whether it is associated with a national car or a national motorcycle," he told the media, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, July 28.
When asked whether incentives would be given to people who buy national electric vehicles or to the companies that produce them, Airlangga did not provide further explanation.
He only emphasized that the incentive was related to national electric cars and motorcycles.
"National electric cars and motorcycles," he said.
Previously, Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa also ensured that support in the form of incentives for the electric vehicle industry would still be provided.
However, the mechanism for distribution will be focused on a number of specific companies.
"Electric motorcycles still have incentives later, but they are transferred to certain companies," he told the media, Tuesday, July 21.
According to Purbaya, the government is still waiting for recommendations from the Ministry of Industry and Trade regarding the companies that will receive the incentive, because the two institutions are tasked with determining the direction of subsidy distribution, both for two-wheeled and four-wheeled electric vehicles.
"I am still waiting for input from the Minister of Industry and from Danantara. Because he is asked to determine where the subsidy is for cars, we are also waiting for input," he said.
