Two types of electric vehicles are widely available in the Indonesian market: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs).

BEV electric cars use energy solely from batteries, rechargeable via home power grids or at Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLUs).

HEVs, or hybrid cars, have two powertrains: a conventional gasoline engine and a battery-powered electric motor.

According to Gaikindo data processed by Databoks, there were no wholesale sales of electric vehicles (BEVs or HEVs) in Indonesia in 2018.

HEVs entered the Indonesian market first. In 2019, 331 hybrid vehicles were sold wholesale domestically, while BEV sales remained at zero.

Domestic wholesale sales of BEVs began in 2020. However, hybrid vehicles dominated sales during the 2020-2021 pandemic period, as shown in the graph.

A turning point occurred in 2022, with BEV wholesale sales experiencing a 1,400% year-on-year (YoY) growth, reaching 10,327 units.

This surpassed hybrid vehicle wholesale sales, which reached 5,100 units, with approximately 106% YoY growth in 2022.

The sales trend for BEVs and HEVs is expected to strengthen further, driven by government subsidies.

Last month (December 14, 2022), Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita announced proposed subsidy amounts for electric vehicle purchases:

* Electric Cars: Rp 80 million
* Hybrid Cars: Rp 40 million
* Electric Motorcycles: Rp 8 million
* Conversion of gasoline motorcycles to electric motorcycles: Rp 5 million

However, these subsidy amounts are still under review and haven't been officially decided. Subsidies will only be provided for electric vehicles manufactured in Indonesia.
