Electric Car Sales 2025 Soars High in Indonesia, Up 141 Percent
JAKARTA - The electric car market in Indonesia is really "gasoline" throughout 2025. Its growth even soared by 141 percent compared to the previous year. This surge shows that people's interest in emission-free vehicles is getting stronger and the market is starting to move towards electrification seriously.
Looking at the data from the Indonesian Motor Vehicle Industry Association (Gaikindo), Tuesday, December 13, the wholesales (factory to dealer) throughout 2025 total distribution of national electric cars reached 103,931 units. This figure jumped sharply compared to 2024 which was at the level of 43,188 units, or an increase of 141 percent.
If drawn further, this market change is also seen drastically in the last five years, from previously only hundreds of units to now soaring to hundreds of thousands of units. This is inseparable from the many new brands, in 2020 electric cars only sold 125 units.
Another impressive result, the wholesales of national cars throughout 2025 were recorded at 803,687 units. With a contribution of 103,931 units, electric cars now control a market share of 12.93 percent.
This achievement is a strong signal that electric cars are no longer just a small segment, but are starting to become mainstream. If you look at the monthly performance, the trend of electric cars throughout 2025 is interesting.
At the beginning of the year, the market was still moving slowly, the distribution of January and February was in the range of 2,500 to 5,000 units. The first surge occurred in March with a record of 9,143 units, which was allegedly influenced by the delivery of unit orders from the automotive exhibition earlier in the year.
After that, the market entered a more stable phase in the middle of the year. The number tends to be consistent in the range of 5,000 to 6,000 units per month.
However, the real surprise came in the fourth quarter, in October and November being the period when distribution penetrated tens of thousands of units per month. Before finally reaching its peak in December 2025.
Closing the year, December recorded a distribution of 21,821 units, a figure that is quite spectacular because it is larger than the total sales of electric cars throughout 2023 with 17 thousand units. The explosion of distribution at the end of this year also confirms that the Indonesian electric car market is entering an acceleration phase.
