JAKARTA - Electric cars are increasingly mushrooming in Indonesia, and of course not a few families are planning a year-end holiday with environmentally friendly vehicles.

However, in order for the holiday trip to be more optimal, there are several tips that must be considered so that the trip remains enjoyable with the family.

"For many Indonesian families, the end-of-year holidays are synonymous with long journeys and traffic jams, long stops, and spending a lot of time in the car," said Chief Operating Officer, Volkswagen Indonesia, Edo Januarko Chandra, in an official statement received, Tuesday, December 23.

Here are some things to consider.

Vehicle Inspection Before Departure

Before starting the journey, make sure the vehicle is in optimal condition. Perform a thorough inspection, starting from tire pressure, battery power, brake pad condition, to important fluids such as coolant, brake oil, and washer water. Don't forget to make sure the wiper rubber is in good condition to maintain visibility, especially when the weather changes on the road.

Route and Travel Infrastructure Planning

Before departing, make a clear itinerary starting from the destination, route, to the travel time. It is important to map the location of SPKLU along the way, especially those equipped with fast charging and supporting facilities such as rest areas or dining places. Also make sure the charging application is ready so that the charging process runs practically and efficiently.

Pay attention to the Cabin Comfort

A comfortable car cabin certainly makes the journey more enjoyable. As is the case with the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. This car is equipped with 3-zone Air Care Climatronic which allows different temperature settings in three cabin areas. Long journeys are no longer tiring when the car is designed for relaxation. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is equipped with a massage seat, a silent cabin, and a spacious space from the first row to the third row.

"We want this vehicle to be a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable space, not just a means of transportation. The technology in our ID. Buzz is designed to work behind the scenes, while the driver and passengers can focus on enjoying each other's company," he explained.
