Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said that people only have one chance to buy electric vehicles, both cars and motorbikes that have received subsidies of Rp. 7 million.

According to him, the government will use a purchase scheme based on ownership of the Population Identification Number (NIK) owned by each individual.

"So we really ensure that those who receive assistance are the people who are entitled. So they cannot spend twice, one person who is the same as the same NIK cannot do it twice," he said when giving a statement to reporters on Monday, March 6.

The Minister of Industry explained that the government had prepared anticipatory steps to ward off people who were adamant about buying more than one electric vehicle.

"If someone buys it and then sells it and buys it again, then we have prepared the system and we are sure this system is very ready," he said.
