JAKARTA - The government will soon impose a subsidy for electric vehicles in March 2023. Later, the purchase of two-wheeled electric vehicles will be subsidized in the amount of Rp. 7 million.

In addition to providing subsidies, the government also guarantees that it will simplify administrative management processes such as STNK which will be taken care of more quickly.

"So the STNK will be processed quickly and the cost of changing the STNK will be much widened," said Arifin, quoted on Tuesday, February 21.

Arifin also ensured that the battery readiness for electric vehicles would be sufficient. Arifin said Indonesia has its own vehicle factory so that the barrier for electric vehicles must be absorbed. In addition, the government also ensures that it will increase the number of electric vehicle factories.

"Bateranya, kita kan punya pabrik yang membuat motor converter dan kita sudah bisa buat sendiri. nanti tinggal tambah jumlah pabrikannya," beber Arifin.

Meanwhile, for motorized vehicles that are converted to electric vehicles, Arifin continued, the government will empower MSME workshops that already have the certification and availability of workshops to adjust the user population of two-wheeled vehicles.

"The workshop that is prepared depends on the population. This workshop is in an agent repair shop and actually already has skills. From what we learned, some initiators make electric motorcycles not difficult because the components are a little so they integrate 3-5 components, so it's not difficult," explained Arifin.

For the initial stage, the government has agreed to deploy 1000 electric motor conversion workshops throughout Indonesia.

"We agree that at least a thousand workshops throughout Indonesia. 1 workshop if he can do 100 (motors) a month," concluded Arifin.
