JAKARTA - The electric car market in Indonesia throughout 2025 has made good progress. BYD Atto 1 became the best-selling electric car throughout the year with a hit of up to 20 thousand units sold.

Based on the Indonesian Motor Vehicle Industry Association (Gaikindo) wholesales data, the distribution of electric cars reached 103,931 units throughout 2025. This figure jumped 141 percent compared to the previous year, indicating that people's interest in EVs is getting more serious, not just a momentary trend.

Looking at data from Gaikindo, Wednesday, January 14, BYD became the ruler of electric cars in Tanah Air. The Chinese manufacturer recorded a distribution of 30,670 units.

Interestingly, BYD not only dominates the affordable electric car segment, but also participates in suppressing the premium segment through the Denza sub-brand. Where, it managed to record a distribution of 6,967 units to the dealer network.

However, the Atto 1 still steals the spotlight by selling up to 22,582 units in 2025 since its launch in July. With a tight price with LGCG, this small car is the choice of consumers who want to switch to EVs.

Surprisingly, Vinfast VF e34 occupies the top five positions with 5,974 units. This car is often seen on the road because it is widely used as a taxi fleet.

Interestingly, the list of the top 10 best-selling electric cars in 2025 is not filled with any Japanese brands because the units sold are far from Chinese brands. Toyota with the new bZ4X generated sales of 77 units, Honda e:N1 with 65 units), while Mitsubishi tried to enter the market through the new L100EV sold 39 units.
