YOGYAKARTA - Electric cars are increasingly in demand by the Indonesian people. The government itself continues to encourage the development and use of battery-based electric vehicles in the country. Through PLN, the Government is also aggressively building a charger station in stages to provide a place to refuel electric vehicles.

Many people are interested in buying electric cars because they are environmentally friendly and are said to be more efficient than gasoline-fueled cars. Charging electric cars is done by charging or charging batteries. What is the cost of an electric car charger?

Charger Fee for Electric Cars

Charging electric car batteries can be done through two types of charging stations, namely charging at Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU) and charging at home. So what is the difference between the two types of charging.

Electric Car Charger Fee at SPKLU

Several SPKLUs free the cost of charging electric vehicle batteries. Based on the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the cost of electric car chargers is around Rp. 1,650 per kWh to Rp. 2,466.7 per kWh.

Here are examples of cost counting. For example, charging the cheapest electric car, which is IDR 1,650 per kWh. The charging is done for vehicles with a battery capacity of 75 kWh, so the cost is IDR 1,650 x 75 = IDR 123,750.

The distance that can be reached for every 1 kWh is 5.1 km. If you charge a battery with a capacity of 75 kWh, the electric car can run as far as 112.5 km. You can compare the example of the calculation with the cost of buying gasoline.

The cost of charging an electric car at home is different from the charger at the SPKLU. To find out the cost, it is necessary to look at the price per kWh at home of each electric vehicle owner. You need to know the maximum current of the charger device, the duration of charging the electric car battery, and the magnitude of the electricity voltage at home.

For example, charging an electric car at home with an electric power of 2,200 VA which has a base rate of IDR 1,444.70 per kWh. The electric power is used for electric car chargers with a battery capacity of 50 kWh, so the required cost for full charging costs around IDR 72,035.

Actually, what distinguishes the most between charging electric car batteries at SPKLU and at home is the duration of charging. Charger electric cars at home take longer, about 8 hours.

Indonesia has gradually started to add electric car charging stations. The following is the SPLU that already exists in Indonesia today.

Demikianlah penjelasan biaya charger mobil listrik di SPKLU dan di rumah. biasaran biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk pengis baterai kendaraan listrik sangat tergantung dengan kebutuhan masing-masing pemilik dan daya kWh mobil. Di Indonesia sudah tersebar banyak tempat untuk pengisian mobil listrik. Namun dominal masih berada di DKI Jakarta.
