JAKARTA The popularity of electric cars in Indonesia continues to accelerate along with the increasing choice of models and prices that are increasingly affordable. This trend not only has an impact on the new car market, but also helps drive the used car market.
Chief Operating Officer of Focus Motor Group Azka, said that the demand for used electric cars was getting higher. However, he did not deny that there was a significant price depreciation.
"Electric cars do sell here, but the depreciation is quite large. They can reach 4050 percent of the new price. We also adjust to the discount given by ATPM," he said when met in Serpong, Tangerang, Wednesday, August 28.
Interestingly, depreciation is actually a special attraction for consumers. The price of used electric cars, which is much more affordable, makes the stock quickly hunted down by buyers.
"For example, two months ago we had nearly 100 BYD Seal units, and all of them were sold out because the price was very interesting," he added.

Even so, Focus Motor remains cautious in determining prices. The reason is, manufacturers are now increasingly aggressive in presenting new electric cars with competitive bands.
"If there are brands that lower prices, we will automatically adjust them," explained Azka.
In general, Focus Motor noted that the trend of selling used electric cars continues to climb, although it does not specify the number of units that have been successfully released. Interestingly, consumers also do not need to worry about guarantees, especially batteries that are vital components in electric vehicles.
The manufacturer's battery guarantee remains valid as long as it doesn't change its name. But for consumers who are renamed, we also provide a battery guarantee for one year," he concluded.
