Jakarta - Presidential Chief of Staff Dr. Moeldoko tested one of the electric cars, which was exhibited at the 2022 Perikliindo Electric Vehicle Show (PEVS), at Jiexpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Friday, July 22.

Together with the celebrity Uya Kuya, Moeldoko took the car made by Wuling, driving on the test drive arena, which is in the exhibition room.

"It's very comfortable, because the sound is not loud, the speed is also fast, so you don't have to worry that electric cars don't seem to be able to run fast. This can be done," said Moeldoko, after testing the steering wheel.

Previously, at the inauguration of the exhibition opening, Moeldoko expressed his belief that the PEVS 2022 event would trigger and spur the development of electric vehicles in Indonesia. Moreover, the current government has encouraged the transition and conversion of conventional vehicles to electric vehicles.

"Stimulating potential users, and spurring manufacturers to mass produce electric vehicles," he said.

"This exhibition is a means of proving that electric cars are not as complicated as prospective users think. Here it is shown how easy it is to use electric cars and their charging, as well as the readiness of charging stations," added Moeldoko who is also the Chair of Perikliindo.

On that occasion, the 2013-2015 TNI Commander also emphasized the importance of Indonesia being a major player in the development of global electric vehicles. Because, he continued, Indonesia has extraordinary resources that support electric vehicles.

"We must be grateful for this award by making a big leap. Don't just be a spectator, but must be a major player in the development of global electric cars," said Moeldoko.

The Perikliindo Electric Vehicle Show (PEVS) 2022 electric vehicle exhibition will be held from 22-31 July 2022. In addition to presenting dozens of four-wheel and two-wheel brands, the first electric vehicle exhibition in Indonesia also provides visitors with a different experience, namely a test drive of electric vehicles inside room.
