JAKARTA - The car market used to be a hybrid model is quite in demand than the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) or pure electric vehicle in Indonesia.

This is based on the experience of Car Shopping, used car buying and selling brands. CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of Car Shopping Agus Focus, said the hybrid model is classified as selling well in the used car market in Indonesia.

"When talking about the hybrid here (Indonesia) the former is sold, it is very attractive because the price of the used depreciation is almost the same as conventional cars in general," he said, when met in the Mangga Dua area, North Jakarta, Thursday, December 13.

Agus Focus even said that until now the used hybrid cars sold in Car Shopping have never found significant problems, such as batteries. So, it is quite safe, especially those selling well-known brands from Japan.

"Since I played in used cars, I have almost never found a problem with a hybrid car," he added.

Unlike electric cars, COO (Chief Operating Officer) Car Expenditure Azka Maulana said that the pure electric vehicle segment was classified as down and did not survive.

"The reason is because the brands are also price wars. So, the brands often reduce car prices gradually," said Azka.

In addition, public concerns about electric cars also exist. He gave examples of many potential buyers asking for details, especially regarding the condition of the battery.

"First, how many kilometers have been asked, and the health battery. We still can't give a definite answer because it's different from a cellphone," he concluded.
