YOGYAKARTA People can now buy a subsidized electric motorbike of IDR 7 million. How to buy an electric motorcycle with incentives is also fairly easy because it can be done online, namely through PLN Mobile SuperApp. PLN itself has collaborated with several electric motorcycle manufacturers, namely Volta, GESITS and SELIS.

Before buying subsidized electric motorcycles, people can download the PLN Mobile application through the Play Store for Android users, and through the App Store for iOS users. Users can immediately search for the application and select install it. After downloading and installing it, do the following steps.

The method of paying electric motorbikes through applications is available in several ways, the public can also credit electric motorbikes offered by the State Bank Association (Himbara), namely through BNI, BRI, Mandiri, BTN, and BSI. Buyers can choose one of the available bank options.

It is mandatory to know that not all electric motors will be subsidized. The government itself requires 40 percent TKDN for both motorbikes and electric cars to producers. Referring to these conditions, there are at least 6 electric motorcycle manufacturers that can be selected, namely Selis, Gesits, Volta, Smoot, United, and Viar. Purchase of electric motorcycles can also go directly to the electric motorcycle brand dealer.

Later the dealer will check the data of prospective buyers and ask for files as one of the requirements for claims for electric motor incentives. Then Himbara bank will verify and provide reimbursement to electric vehicle manufacturers.

The public must bring a mandatory document, namely an ID card. The dealer will check the buyer's NIK. This is necessary to ensure that the buyer meets the criteria as the recipient of the electric vehicle incentive. If the buyer passes the inspection, the price discount will be given immediately.

Previously, the Head of the Fiscal Policy Agency (BKF) of the Ministry of Finance, Febrio Kacaribu, had explained several criteria for receiving subsidies for buying electric motorbikes. The government prioritizes several criteria for getting subsidies. The criteria for buyers who receive subsidies are as follows.

Incentives for electric vehicles themselves will start to be given from March 20 to December 2023, both for the purchase of motorbikes and electric cars. It should be noted that subsidies are only given to buyers who meet the criteria.

In addition, the subsidy quota is only given for 200 thousand units of new electric motors and 50 thousand units of motorcycles converted from fuel to electricity. It should also be noted that the subsidy applies one unit to one buyer's name, meaning that each person cannot buy two subsidized electric motors.
